If you've read through the thread, then you should have read about one guy having to give up one of this two pitbulls because their fights are getting uncontrollable.
What makes you think you can do better?

Good question.
Firstly, he got himself 2 males and I will be having 2 of opposite sex and both would be neutered, which will surely reduce the aggression of the male to some extend. Secondly, I will be having a big space and the 2 dogs would be separated when I am not around to supervise. Finally, I have kept and trained dogs for a very long time and I know what to expect.
Still, any additional info and opinions from you guys that are experienced with this breed would be useful.

Good luck then

Thank you for your kind wishes
For that, I will promise you that if having 2 pitbulls is really beyond me, I will certainly post here to caution others who want to do the same.

Etta, now 3 months plus.

this dog be train or treat well .... is no issue, some owner train is as fight dog is very dangerious

Just a little piece of advice. Your ampit bull, whether male or female, even if neutered, is likely to have high prey drive. With 2 dogs, that spells extreme double danger to all other small animals in the neighborhood, especially cats that stray into your yard at night. One quick chase, one leap, one bite and shake of the head, and it's curtains for the intruder. All that done with the minimum of noise. You won't even know till the next morning.

true true. my 'ex' pitbull had eaten 5 cats that intruded my garden. he kept on chewing ... and chewing ..... gosh .... only a bladder left. this fellow could run and catch cats !!!

Hi....I posted some pics of my Pitbull/Bulldog mix here when he was a puppy. His Name is Benji. Well, he has turned 2. And I have to say that Benji is the sweetest, most submissive dog I have ever had. I've had a few mongrels and a Doberman and none of them compares to Benji. He is friendly to everyone, adults and children and even ok with cats. I brought home a sick kitten who unfortunately succumbed to his sickness and died. While he was with me, my other 2 dogs ( Mongrels )could not stand him. Benji wanted to befriend him but the kitten was too sick to play with him. Also, he is very respectful of my two other mongrels who are older than him, especially the older one who is male. Benji will never go near him when he is eating, and never ever sit on his 'spot'. Anyway, here are some recent pictures of Benji.

Oh ya.... and here's some pics of my older mongrel Chester and Benji. They kind of have an older brother younger brother relationship.
And also one pic of Benji on his favorite Chair. And also one of the look that I get from him every morning when I go to work.









By the way, my whole family is just so in love with him. My mom does not really dare to pet Chester cos he tends to snap. But she dare to cuddle Benji...

Kimmy, your Benji's temperament is totally different from my two pit/dobe crossbreeds, siblings from 2 different litters, 3/4 years old. They are neutered & female but the prey drive is very strong in them, one extremely so. This particular 3 year old crossbreed is so fiercely pitbull in all her ways; alert, territorial, dominant, stubborn, aggressive, athletic but a potential danger to all other smaller animals including dogs, cats, squirrels, birds. Not tested on house burglars yet but anything that intrudes into her backyard is fair game. You get the picture. The other 4 year old dog has a milder temperament but will not tolerate intruders as well. My backyard is very well guarded from animal or human intrusion as a result.

The two dogs have fought several times over domination issues. I have been inadvertently nipped in the leg a couple of times when breaking up their fights, and dragged to the ground by them suddenly lunging at a cat hiding in the bushes. I walk them before 6 am every morning, oftentimes with a friend's 2 dogs, and they are ok together. But sometimes I have to lay down the law before they get out of hand wanting to chase a strange cat, or going after another dog or a passing motorcyclist. This is an ongoing disciplinary issue.

Your Benji is an angel by comparison but certainly no watchdog! Cheers.

I agree that my Benji is no watchdog! He is just too friendly and babyish. However, my older mongrel is a very good watch dog. He is the most dominant of my 3 dogs ( 2 Mongrels and 1 Pitbull), stubborn, alert and aggresive also. I guess my mongrel and my pitbull sort of switch personalities

emm, i am so happy to read that there are tame apbt who can socialise with other breeds..
so cute to see these pics. hope to hear more from the forummers.

Actually all pitbull enthusiasts should check out and like these two FB pages. They are of Gremlin and Elle. Both pit bulls and both members of the Therapits. They are certified therapy dogs who were former bait dogs before they were rescued. They have done so much to help people and also to promote the good of this breed.

To add to that. I am a very big fan of the Therapits

Sigh...my two female pit crossbreeds fought each other when we were all out for dinner last weekend. The trigger was probably the stray kitten we are temporary fostering till we find him a home. One dog had shown signs of possessiveness over the kitten earlier with her rigid posture and unwavering stare. We found both dogs abnormally subdued when we returned, with one all bloody at the ear and neck. Till now, her ear is still swollen though she is recovering otherwise. The other had only superficial bite marks. The situation could have been a lot worse with both having serious injuries if they had really gone at each other.

This is just a warning about having two strong aggressive dogs together. You cannot always be there to control the situation. The trigger for a fight can be something so innocuous you are just not aware of the danger till it happens. Prevent accidents if you can. Regrets are too late. For me, till the the stray kitten finds a home, the dogs will be physically separated whenever no one is around. The alternative is to give one dog up for adoption, which is too painful to contemplate.
