The pup we're going to get had very affectionate parents. The mother wasn't aggressive or uneasy when we played with the pups. The father was very happy and was acting like a big baby. The breeder also had two bluenose pits and they were all getting along great. Do you think the puppy will be as friendly and social as they are?

We've had pitbull puppies for awhile now. I think the puppy will be just as friendly and social and you train her to be. That's the big thing. I mean, it helps that the pup has good genes, but only you can control how she will act. If you train her right, she will be a happy and lovable pup. Believe me, pitbulls are very rotten dogs!!:-)

That all depends, on how you raise them, whether or not you allow children around them, and most importantly, how you Train them, my husband and I raise Pits, we also have 2 small children, it's very important to have kids, and other animals around them, while they are puppies to insure they don't get jealous. We've had some that were sweet as can be, until they got around kids, or other animals, then they became horrible dogs, needless to say, those dogs didn't stay with us anymore. It doesn't matter the breed of the dog, or the geneology of the dog, if you allow it to be aggressive, it's going to be, not saying you have to keep it from being agressive at all, because pits are very well known for "taking up for" their owners, and anyone associated, trusted rather, by their owners. They can also be very protective of some strangers, like other children........Like I said, it just depends on how you raise them....Oh, and don't forget, you have to work with them on food agression too. That is why most people are attacked by dogs, they get to close to their food, the dog feel threatened, and attacks. Just a few things to help

Yes, provided he's raised correctly, your puppy will be good too. A puppy's behaviour is modeled most closely to that of his mother because she's the one he's around the most. If the mother is shy or aggressive with people, the puppy sees that and will do the same. If the mother's friendly, the puppy models that.

Yes, Mine were the same way. Our male loved being with his brothers and sisters and would chase his father around. Now he acts like a big dufous and loves to play. He is 2 years old our female is 4 years old.

puppies dont act like their parents, they act like their owners treat them.
some dogs are treated to be a guide dog, some can be soft, others are protectors.
it all depends on how the puppy is brought up by their owners not their parents

The only way to get your dog to be friendly and pleasant is to socialize him properly and care for him as you would any other breed. Try not to discriminate between pits and any other breed as far as raising them right.

Yep. Lions teach their cubs how too hunt. Parents teach their child how to behave. It's all the same basic principles

Pups....ALL PUPS.... will grow and respond to your upbringing. Pits are very affectionate, protective and very smart. You can train them to do just about anything. From search and rescue to just great home companion. It all depends on how you raise them. Enjoy!!

personality and disposistion USUALLY is carried through from the parents, but not always. As long as you give your pup a loving, caring, disciplined environment he should be great!
