I have a Rottweiler-Pitt Bull and wanted to get some advice for caring for him. We are coming from a town house to an apartment so going from a back yard to an apartment is a little drastic. I love him to death and I don’t want tot take him to the shelter so if you can I was wondering if you could give many any tips on making it a lil bite easier for the dog in the apartment such as a scheduled, etc it would greatly be appreciated.

First of all ignore that person who told you he should be put to sleep. That is a common misconception of people who are ignorant to dogs and training. Pit bulls are meant to attack other dogs not humans. If they are trained and socialized properly many pit bulls will get along fine with other dogs.
Your dog should be fine in the apartment as long as you can give him plenty of exercise. I would say about 3 walks a day would be good for him. Make them about a half hour or so.
Give him plenty of toys which can keep him mind occupied, such as a buster cube or food filled kong.
If you find that you will not be able to take care of him with the constant exercise and attention, I would contact a local pit-bull or rottie rescue. They would be able to find a home for him that would be a great fit.

You have to give this dog A LOT of love and training from the time it's a pup. Both rottweilers and pit bull terriers were originally bred for aggressiveness as hunting dogs, which is why they can sometimes be a problem. Get them used to kids, and SUPERVISE constantly. As for the tightening of space, it'll be a little rough at first, but feed the dog a little extra and maybe buy it a nice chewy toy. Pamper it to show it isn't being punished, and be prepared for it to wet the floor or chew on shoes until it gets comfortable.

I am horrified by the close mindedness of most people when it comes to Rottweilers & Pit Bulls!
Put him to sleep?! Psychotic? If that's not the pot calling the kettle black! Lady.....you have a lot to learn!
Moving on to more important matters....
As long as you do not change the schedule you have your puppy on, he will be happy. He is with his owner and that is all he cares about.
Good luck!

Plenty of exercise. Take the dog out as often as you can but observe the leash law. Find a ball field where you can open and shut the gates, it`s a good place for some off-leash running. Hey *****, you`re making blonde bimbos look even worse you ******* moron.

when you move feed him his favorate food at first so the change wont seem that bad. let him settle in and give him his own corner where he has his bed and toys.
as long as you take him on regular walks every day (maby in the morning and evening and if your there in the day too) for exersize and fresh air he should be fine.
also get him obidence trained if you havent all ready.
also make sure that pitbull types are allowed where your going
