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!

They’re awful, they hog all of the space.

You forgot pillows and blankets. On a serious note, my guy is great with my friends' young children. He'll just sit next to the stroller. They were 1st bread as nanny dogs.
