New APBT owner here. Quick Question

Blue8Bull, I contacted the UKC and they said I have to wait 1 year to transfer to AM BULLY. That's ok. No rush. And thankx for the comment on my dog.

Shotgun, yeah that movie is bad ass. Thankx for the tip. I will go with either your recommendation since I like it so much or another one. So my 2 choices right now are:

Rivera's Maximus Meridius
or
Rivera's TripleX MaXimus


I took his measurements last night. The pics I have posted were him at 20 weeks. He is now 24 weeks. 19" tall from the withers, 55lbs, 17.5 head (I think I measured it right by what I've seen onlnie). He is so playful, so much energy. We take him out almost every day for excercise. Nothing to serious. He eats about 6 cups of Earthborn Holistic Puppy Vantage daily. I don't really know how much he should be eating right now at almost 6 months. I've talked to some people who say to feed him all he wants and others that say NO, feed him good but do not overfeed. \

What have you guys done in the past as far as feeding your 5.5 month old pup??

I WILL UPDATE PICS AT HIS 6 MONTH MARK

 

Thankx SacRed

 

Your dog is as American Bully as it could possibly be.

Here is the Dam's ped, she was bred back to her father.

Brindlexpitt, great info. I found his sire too and his granparents. Can't wait to show my wife tonight. Awesome. You guys are helping me out alot. Now just the dog food qauntity???? lol thankx

 

feed what the bag says, and then if he looks too big cut back, too small feed more. at his age he wont be doing too much physical work so i would just watch out for overfeeding. What does he eat ?

 

He eats about 6 cups of Earthborn Holistic Puppy Vantage daily. The bag says 3 cups for his weight. But dang, he's starving after 3 cups. We tried that serving for a couple days and he just wasn't right. Looked under fed. So we upped it to 6 cups a days. And he still wants more. But we feel 6 cups is good and he looks great. Doesn't look under fed or over fed in our opinion.

 

...the biggest mistake that people make is over feeding,the trouble with young dog's/pup's..is they will eat what ever is put in front of them,,even when not hungry,like what wild dog's will do in the wild,they wolf every-thing down not knowing when there next meal will come,,,so don't be tempted..the more you put in front of him the more he will eat,so resist,it...give him a worm dose and get him the once over by your vet..ya should not have any prob's..looking at his ped he has a-lot off big bullys in it so chance's are he gonna be a big dog..just keep an eye on his WEIGHT,think more than 3 is right,but don't go over 6,till ya see how he come's on..good-luck....

 

Thankx Blue8Bull...I won't go over 6 cups. That is a lot it seems but it fits him well so far....VET will see him in 2 weeks at his 6 month mark. Will have a btter indication then. Having loads of fun with this monster. Almost 6 months, no signs of agression, never has once gotten mad and lashed out, I discipline him when needed. This dog gets it so far!! I just really hope he stays under 100lbs. But either way, he's a keeper for the next 10-14 years!!

 

....good stuff,KEEP US UP-DATED,,BULL/TERRIERS/DOG'S/BULLY'S/STAFF'S/ETC/ETC/..ARE ON THE MOST VERY EASY GOING DOG'S..SOME OF THE BEST ARE VERY EASY-GOING....AT 6-MONTHS HE/SHE IS STILL A PUP..SO TREAT HIM THE WAY YA WANT HIM TO TURN OUT....SOME DOG'S WON'T GET ON WITH OTHER DOG'S ESP;WHEN BROUGHT UP AS A ONE DOG FAMILY,THAT GO'S FOR ALL BREED'S....BUT MOST THAT ARE BROUGHT UP AROUND WITH OTHERS WHEN YOUNG ESP;WITH THOSE THEY KNOW SHOULD BE GRAND,BUT BE ON GAURD IF THEY HAVE A QUARREL/ARGUEMENT....AS WITH ALL DOG'S.....BEST OF LUCK...

 

First off, welcome and congrats on your dog. sounds like you guys are equally making each other happy. imo, i'd regard him as an AM Bully as well, and like the others, thanks for asking and for not getting all bent at the answers given. as far as feed, the recommendations on the packaging are meerly guidelines, but as stated, a dog, especially of that age will eat, pretty much, whatever is put in front of it, so if he still seems hungry with the recommended amount, a little more ain't gunna kill him. best wishes with him and enjoy

 

...if ya ever kept a gold-fish in a bowl and went to the pet shop an buy a tin of fish-food,then read what it say's on the tin on how much to feed the g-fish.....ya will notice ur fish will be dead in a week-10-day's....so what's that telling ya...what is wrote on the package is to get you to use it quicker+buy more.....

 

Thankx for all your help. I will update pics in a week or so. Thank you. I'm reading all I can and I take criticism well. I sure am one to ask if I don't know. You guys are very knowledgeable with this dog thing.. I know you guys are passionate about your dogs. I only want the best for him.
