[Medicj02]

Hey i'm new here....there's no newbie intro and i thought i'd do this to have at least a couple of people know who i am.....I have an 11 month old rednose that i got from my ex...he was found wandering the streets and i told her i'd take him, i'm from arkansas but i currently live in Tulsa, Ok and will be moving to little rock, AR possibly in 2 weeks....oh yeah...i'm gonna be asking a bunch of questions too because other than me having my boy for 8 months this is my first pit experience and i wonder lots of things

Welcome to this site. I and other members will be happy to help you or guide you whenever needed. I hope you like exercise because this breed does, indeed! That is a cute little girl there! Have you spayed/neutered it yet?

Thanks...thats my g/f's daughter....he's not spayed/neutered yet (i dont know which one it is for males) i heard if you get that done to him then he wont be as active.....first question....i believe my dog's patches on his face are reverse blue brindle....i'm not sure though....there real light and the base of the hair in some parts are white and the tips of the hair in some parts are a dark color....possibly blue or blackhttp://www.game-dog.com/gallery/files/3/5/1/5/kato3.jpg

Hey Med, welcome!http://www.spbr.org/pbsmiles/upload/smilies/new/hay.gif (http://www.spbr.org/pbsmiles/upload/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=0&forumid=2#)

Your dog & your girlfriend's daughter are both beautiful! You must be very proud! This is a wonderful site, so stick around, don't be afraid to ask questions, & fill the gallery with your pictures.

In response to this statement:
heard if you get that done to him then he wont be as active..... This is false. The only dogs who get fat after being spayed/neutered (boys are neutered ;) ) are those who owners feed them way to much & exercise them way to little. By neutering your dog, you do a number of things: 1. take his unknown pedigree/history out of the pool (which is a GOOD thing as you have no idea what kinds of dogs are in this dog's ped, or what kind of genetic issues if any) 2. take away his chance of developing testicular cancer 3. DRASTICALLY reduce his chance of prostate problems (which we see a lot of) & reduce the chance of him developing tumors around the anus later in life (they're totally disguisting & surgery is usually out of the question due to their location) 4. increase his life span by approx. 3 yrs (yes, there's factual studies/research to prove this) 5. become a responsible owner.

There are many a catch dogs (hog dogs) that are spayed/neutered because many hunters feel they can actually work better w/out being distracted by being in heat/having bitches around in heat. Many if not most of us on this board have at least 1 spayed/neutered APBT.

What's up? Your dog looks like he has red patches not blue or black or whatever. Either way, I don't think it matters just love em! Color means nothing in this breed...;)
