Welcome, you do anticipate dog-aggression at some point as a precaution? Chances are at some point the dogs will want to scrap,and wont be able to be allowed around eachother. Its a minor inconveinance to keep them seperated at that time for the rest they give you. Just be aware, you cannot "love it out of them" and just because they were raised together as puppies means nothing.

ya ive already taken that into consideration... as much as i hope it wont happen in reality i know it probly will, and we have already thought of a plan if and when that time comes... i did alot of research before i adopted them so im pretty much prepared for the worse hate to think that way but better to be prepared i think. I m just happy to be able to give these 2 a home. The humane society i adopted them from is a good one.. no kill, lots of pits and staffy's though, dogs are very well taken care of.. they get to go outside and play , they even ahve little kiddie swimming pools for them to play in lol.. the dogs are tested for a week before they are adoptable dog to dog, people, being around their food, etc so far hes been really good, i have the feeling hes been in a house before though cause i havent had any messes yet lol but im sure those will come too.

I love the graphics and the technology put into those movies like those. Amazing We had Lassy when I was a kid and lost in space. To look at those now you wonder how you ever watched such and were intertained. lol Ya I don't think I like the old names either. esp. Anastasia it puts you to sleep.

Hello to ya & welcome! Just one thing though, when they test the dog at a young age, things change over time. That happened to me with Suagr, who is now in deep training. My girl has spunk & I watch her like a hawk. Good luck to you.

Congrats on your new additions!
FYI just incase there is any confusion a staffy isn't an AmStaff or an APBT it is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Both APBTs and AmStaffs can have red noses. Shelters are known for labeling dogs w/ incorrect breed titles especially when it comes to APBTs IMO
One pup is sometimes a lot to handle two can be quite the challenge at times. They will need training time and playtime both together and separately
Good luck and enjoy the little ones! They grow up way too fast

ok.. well heres a few pics of the 2 maby soemone can tell me what they are then...and of course since it has been 3 days after his surgery the male dog doesnt like any dog now.. tries to bite them all and has bit the baby girl right on the nose so... now they are never in the house/outside together.. the obedience trainer told me to get a muzzle for him and he could be in the house ..i bought one..but havent put it on him yet
