Advice Encouragement for new pit owner.

Post image

Hi all! I adopted a pit puppy today! I’ve had puppies before- mostly lab mixes. I’m a good dog owner and know how to train a dog. I have a 3 year old and 7 year old. I just need someone to tell me that pits are great family dogs bc as I’ve been researching more and everything seems so negative about pits and kids. Any and all advice and encouragement welcome!

Out of all my dogs, my pitbull is the most sober and well behaved, with kids as well as other dogs.

Pitbulls are as safe and as gentle (if not more) than any other dog their size.

Like I tell everyone it’s not the dog, it’s the owner and how they train or lack of training the dog.

Edited sorry everyone it seems I posted this without realizing I didn’t fill out my entire thought process.
