New Dog! What do ya think

My opinion?

Have the bitch spayed as we don't need any more "papered" moneymakers out there. Second, find a real responsible home for the dogs and get yourself some stuffed animals.

 

He left right after he let them out.I had 2 girls here for a photoshoot! they are the ones that called the police I was ALONE trying to seperate the dogs . I dont want to argue with you guys. I thought I could get help from the members on how to deal with this. I dont deny this being my fault I KNOW it is. My husband left and I should have stayed outside with the dogs and none of this would have happened and the dog had a broken leg and a buch of cuts but the owner did not care she just tossed her back outside on the chain but that is her choice I saved her dog so she could sit on the chaine and be ignored. I have always tried to be respoinsible with my dogs I got them spayed and shad is getting neutered next week. I came to these boards a long time ago to learn about the breeds. I stopped going to the dog park, I did everythign i thought was right and I was still learning . But I made a mistake and I have to deal with it for the rest of my life. I blame myself I loved my dogs SOOO MUCH I have the pictures to prove it

Like I said I dont want to argue about it. I did nto want to get these new dogs but my husband though it would help me so I took them and they have helped me. I have made my yard safe and I am here 24/7 so I dont plan on ANYTHING ever happening again.


I love coming to these forums and seeing pictures and stories about showing and there happy dogs but I dont want to come here and be reminded everday of what happened because I will never forget what happened nobody has to remind me because I will NEVER forget. Ever time I here a bark it scares me and its not even ym own dogs barking.

this is all I will say. I am sorry you guys dont believe me and I dont plan on trying to change your beliefs.

 

I think that you should get a break stick and learn how to use it. Practice with it during games of tug. Good luck with them!



Edit: People make mistakes. Even people who think they are prepared for every situation have had accidents. Sometimes what a person was taught goes right out the window during a panic situation.

 

OMG...this didn't click right away, I remember reading about the dogs having to be shot on another forum and thinking why doesn't this person know how to break a fight or have a break stick or at least a less lethal stun gun/cattle prod type thing handy when they have several dogs at home...this is definitely a completely different story than what was told on the other forum after she shot her dogs

 

huh really your husband found them...you told a different story on another forum...sdee thats the problem with stories too many details posted all over the internet and they do not all add up. God help you and your dogs I am done with you.

</TD><TD class=alt1 id=td_post_502214 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d1d1e1 1px solid"><!-- icon and title -->Might be getting 2 new dogs tomorrow
<HR style="COLOR: #d1d1e1" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->I have a chance to get 2 abpt with papers. of course papers are not that big of a deal. I found the add on craigslist about them and they are free. the add did not have pctures but I messaged them and they sent me photos of the male and he is a gorgeous dog. Well what they did not say in the add is that the female is pregnant by the male. I LOVE the male but they did not send me photos of the pregnant female. I think this is the best way for me to overcome my fears is by helping those in need though my family is totally against me having anymore Apbt. I Love th breed and I would hate to see these 2 get stuck with some BYB. they say the female is 4 weeks into her pregnancy so its still possivle to abort i think. I am VERY against abortion but it might be best for her and to get spayed in the process.



They are completely free and I am going to look at them tomorrow and see how they respond to me. They reason they are rehoming them is because they are moving.

THANK YOU, MIA.

 

Shadwrack is still here getting neutered next week

ands I wont argue that it was fishy that they were free at all because I thought it was fishy, I drove 2 hours into the middle of the boondocks to get them and I thought it was a scam.

But Calie is going to be spayed after her pups I have already made arrangements for that
I already have Spay/Neuter contracts that someone gave me from another forum for puppies.

 

Miakoda's right.

Mallory, are you going to have a vet preform a spay/abort? I really do suggest doing so. You've proven that you had trouble handling 3 dogs. Now you will have 3 adult dogs and a litter of puppies. Not to mention that finding good homes for this breed can takes month (I've had foster dogs for well over a year).

 

I dont agree with abortion but I had considered it she is 4 1/2 weeks is it to late? . I have started making arrangements with some foster homes that cane take multiple puppies.


I dot agree with you gsd that I had trouble handling 3 dogs and that is why I am taking EVERY precaution to make my yard safe. I had a privacy fence put in and I plan on have my entire backyard concreted most of it is anyways cause I have 2 driveways one in front and one in back so it will be easy but I am having the whole yard concereted to prevent any digging

I have not let ANYONE loose in my backyard unless they are leashed or have a chain on and even then I am staying outside until they do there business. I am taking every necessary precaution. I do plan on getting a taser of some sort and breaksticks to have at easy access.


like I said I plan on do everything responsibly and making sure this NEVER EVER happens again.

 

I do not believe that 4.5 weeks is too late. I've heard of the operation being preformed on the last week of pregnancy.

Get Blue, Shad, & Callie altered. The ADBA now allows neutered dogs to compete in weight pull, so you can still pull with him. At 2 years old, he's been given ample time to mature physically.

 

Hey why don't you post your plans for Blue. How you are not going to nueter him but weight pull him and breed him! Poor Shadwrack all that trauma then tossed away for the new and improved. IF he is still even around or alive. BTW can you please give us the name of the shelter the girls are at? We may be able to save them. I find it very hard to believe in todays era things went down as you said with no media coverage. Hell a pit bull sneezes in public and it is news, you shoot your two dogs and there is nothing?

 

Um..............why the hell do u have dogs if u can't handle them, u seem flustered with these 2 new dogs, why in the hell would u get them if u had problems before with multiple dogs. Whats wrong with u don't u think things through, there aint a damn thing wrong with only having one dog, its easier to handle one dog and on another note u just got 2 full grown dogs that u have no idea what type of temperment they have underlying. U should really consider getting rid of these 2 new dogs and sticking with just one at a time. JMO

Baby and Spoon are dead okay is that what you want to hear! BABY died and spoon was euthanized! I am not denying ANYTHING! I know this is my fault and I made a mistake a very huge LIFE changing Mistake okay and I have to live with what I DID everday of my life! I dont want to aruge this anymore because I feel like shit okay have u ever had to shoot your dog? NO you were not there and there is nothing fishy about anything. I shot my dogs okay! I killed my dogs okay! I killed my dogs trying to save my neighbors dog and its my fault because I left them outside to use the bathroom and did not watch them OKAY! Yes the police came they did not really care! they said I made a good choice and that I was STUPID for even trying to stop the fight! I lied to them about getting bit you know what they do to dogs that bite people they cute there heads off to be tested for rabies and its not a pretty site they use a meat cleaver and cut it right off its nasty!
I have asked that my account be deleted fomr this forum and the other pitbull forum. I want help and I need help but the only person trying to help me now is someone who chewed me out on the other forum I appreciate that she/he is alteast trying to help me now and advise me.

I just became nosey and allowed myself into this discussion but I think we as people have to understand that others are gonna do whatever they wish regardless of what we suggest especially when we approach them with rudeness whether or not they have lied. Having a privacy fence and concrete laid isn't gonna secure your yard or your dogs. If you really invested in those two projects I'd say u wasted ur money. What you need is some old fashioned chain/axle setups, some damn fine collars and a mentor and most of all to get rid of any dogs u have(not with a bullet tho). You really rushed into getting more dogs before doing more research. Have all of them spayed/neutered, adopt them out and attend shows, events and reputable APBT boards. It's true we all have to learn some way but why make more dogs suffer?

You plan on getting breaking sticks so you don't have them now and didnt' have them when you needed them? Being that a breaking stick is the most basic way to break up a fight and you said you tried EVERYTHING to break them off. I for one would like to know what EVERYTHING is because to my knowledge you have never said exactly what you tried.

 

HOLY SH*T This story is crazy.
almost unbelieveable....
i mean,its hard to believe that someone could be dumb enough to get another dog of the same breed when that stuff just happened a couple weeks ago.
what the hell could you have learned in that short period of time?
talk about skipping the grieving process huh.

 

I think that's enough drama for one day. How much good do you think it does to rehash all this crap, a lot of it from a different forum, here. It certainly does NOT make our dogs look good. All this should have been dealt with in P.M.'s.

A reminder....

Rule #4

Argue with posts, not the poster. Debating topics are good, but arguing, flaming, or bashing between members or of any off-site person, site, or kennel is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.

and

Rule #22

Keep your posts on the topic the thread was originally created for.

This thread is closed, take the rest to P.M. as there is no need for this here.

If the other mods disagree they can reopen it, but it's a waste of space in my opinion.

 

not from me. good call, imo.
i initially read this when it first came on last night, and i still do wish you the best with them.

too bad this took the turn that it did.
hopefully all around, lesson learned.
