Pit Bulls DO NOT have a locking jaw. their jaw is identical to that of every other breed.
Pit Bulls' brains DO NOT grow too big for their skulls. get a frickin clue.
Pit Bulls ARE NOT inherently vicious. Pits score an average of 83.9% on the American Temperment Test Society's test, versus an average of 77% from all other breeds.

...would you take their word for it & look for a more fitting breed, or go to another breeder till you found one willing to take your money & let you take your chances?

I'm pet sitting a parrot (don't know the breed, but its small and purple and blue with a green head if that helps). It keeps burrowing under the newspaper at the bottom of the cage and hiding under there. Is this something I should be worried about?

aside from tape, isn't there another way to stick the background to the back of the tank glass itself so that it looks real and eliminating the reflection? Thanks

My dog loves low fat cottage cheese and white rice. Our vet put him on this diet for a few days when he was having stomach problems. I was just wondering what else dogs can eat in terms of human food. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much and happy new year!

He is male and I am thinking of getting another male. Would they fight for territory and being king of the cage?

She's 14months old and small, I pick her up alot by her underarms, she doesn't yelp or bite or anything like that, she actually sorta jumps her front paws on my arms when I go to pick her up. If I keep picking her up by her underarms, will it cause any shoulder damage? She's only 16lbs.

So, next door there is a big dog that is outside a lot. I have a little dog and she loves to go outside. Now, she can't because of the big dog. There is a hole forming on the fence and my dog can fit through it. The dog next door would tear her apart if she got through. What do I do? My dog loves to go out back but can't anymore. Please Help!

She is a rescued cat, was mistreated and is still sometimes skittish, like when the toaster pops she startles. She is a little over a year old as the vet wasn't able to determine exactly when she was born. I've had her since she was about 4 months old, a friend rescued her, but then there was a time when she stayed with someone else and I think he was the one who mistreated her because she used to sleep/play on my bed but now its like she's afraid to get up on it. I talk to her a lot but, sometimes I think I am hovering too much. She has lost interest in her toys but likes boxes, something I should have known. It worries me sometimes when she's hiding in the closet sleeping. Also, she won't let me pat her head from the front, only if I approach from behind or the side. I wish she would sleep on the bed with me but she prefers my computer chair in the other room. Should I pretty much ignore her and let her do her thing? I don't want her to become neurotic like me...lol.

I've had him for over a year. He goes on my hand and I can kiss him on the belly but he flies off to the mirrors in the room after a few seconds and won't fly to my hand or shoulder as my previous budgies have done. He seems to lack attitude and a mentality of discovering the room. He just goes to the mirrors all the time (2 places). I had 2 budgies previously who lacked fear - one would fly to me and nibble my ear and sometimes bite (which this one would never do) and the other I could pick up and turn over and tickle her ear and her feathers would raise up on her head. I don't seem to be able to bond with this one and stop his fear.

Due to bad weather and a possibly several day long power outage, my parents are going to go to a dog-friendly hotel with their dog, and drop their cat off at our apartment.

We have two cats who are declawed. They have never met my parents' cat. Their cat has not been declawed. All three are adults. Is there ANY advice you have on how we can bring the three together without a massive cat battle?
