Ya it really gets me upset when I hear ppl talking about just giving their pets away. If u decide to get a pet that is ur child for life, doesn't matter if its not human. I personally would never ever give away any pet no matter how small or unimportant it seems to other ppl. And I wouldn't expect my bf to do it either
I choose to not be around any animals and i simply am terrified of all animals especially dogs i do not want it near me thats how i feel no one will make me if he keeps it thats fine but im not gonna live with a uncaged animal my child is more important...idc about their reputations but someone close to me almost died bc of one other than that i dont care if its a pit a bull dog a poodle i do not want my child around any animal
And when he gets older i do not mind it but not a dang on newborn around a dog who has not be around a baby the dog has even jumped on his niece and she is now scared of the dog
Im not getting defensive stating my opinion like everyone else and keeping a dog outside makes dogs mean. Bc thts where my neighbor has kept their dog since they got him years ago they never have that dog in their house
I have 4 outside dogs and one inside dog and my outside dogs are much better and if you've never had dogs that means you don't know there personality it is best for you not to have any but... you also don't know what makes them mean so you can't tell me putting an animal outside will make it mean bc that's BS
Pit bulls are not typically aggressive towards humans and they actually make awesome family dogs. BUT I think you have every right to be cautious. For one a lot of pits have been incorrectly bred and because of that some are not stable animals. If he's only had the dog for a matter of months and you don't know its history then there's no way of telling how the dog could react. Now while I think you have every right to be cautious I don't think you should necessarily force him to get rid of the dog. Most pits get put down when relinquished by their owners, do you really wanna leave her to that fate? If you're willing to hold off on moving you can try to slowly introduce the baby and dog. Have your bd start preparing her now with a doll scented like the lotion you're going to use. Get her used to crying sounds and so on and so forth. The dog could end up being your childs bff it will take work and if you're bd is willing to step up and put in the work then I think its worth a try. Ultimately its your child and your decision and you will do what's best for you family.
Whoa no need to be defensive i am not a animal lover so of course i would never have one or get one and i said that bc since everyone feels like they are human i know being outside all day everyday through every type of weather would make me mean @bwhite55019
I'm not defensive yea if you don't take care of it while outside I could see him being aggressive the thing that frustrated me is that people think dogs are disposable but he made the commitment when he got the dog
He dont know how to do anything but yell at her to make her stop doing whatever she does and whenever my child can talk thats when a animal i meant a human dog can be around him
Well if he's not willing to take the time to train her and ensure that she wont harm your baby then he does need to chose, you and the baby or the dog. Your baby definitely comes first!

i have a pit and rot and they are very very protective of me . they are definitley not the type of dogs they are made out to be . my nephew was around my pit and she loved my nephew .. they are very loveable dogs . they really are . active and hyper but what dog isnt . shes going to be jealous at first but they can sense fear and then once she knows you and your son are good people and arent there to hurt her everything will be ok .
I suggest that you ask your bd if you can take her to training classes now before baby is born... That way you get to kno her and you can teach your bd the best way to control her. My brother has almost always had pits n they were all great family dogs. Their most recent 1 is great with my nephew and we took one of her pups with the last litter. Since he has been with us since he was 10 wks he is great with my kids. My 7 yr old brings him to obedience classes so that not only we, but the kids know how to be with him.
in my city pitbull attacks are not uncommon which is really sad. Just last weekend an 18th month old was killed by the family pitbull who never had a previous history of ever being aggressive. Right now in the state of Texas they're trying to make them a felony to own
There are very few things that would make me give up my dog. I even gave up my dream apartment because they didn't except pets. However, if it came down to my dog and my childs safety my babys going to win. This is a dog that in which they don't know his past, is being raised aggressively, and has never been around babies. If her bf wants her to move in she has every right to ask him to get rid of the dog. He doesn't have to take it to the pound. There are plenty of good people who would love to have a pit. He just needs to invest the time in looking for a good home. I say that not because its a pit but because of the circumstances.
@mom60511 pets are the same as humans. They have personalities of their own and feelings. They eat and drink set meals. They bond with people. They depend on their owners for everything. Food, water, shelter, health care. They are just like children. You apperently aren't a pet owner because anyone that owns a pet and loves and cares for them will tell you they are their children. I would do anything for my pets because they are family
The dog should be fine but u need too meet it soon it'll sense ur pregnant and protect u and as soon as the babys born u need too sorta introduce them and let it sniff the baby and it should look after the bubbaa
Well I that's wrong then. Y even have pets if u can just give them away like nothing. I can't stand ppl that do that. I've been bit by tons of dogs but have nvr ever told their owners that they should get rid of them nor have I pressed charges because I would hate to destroy someones family. And my dogs r family not just some animal that I'm going to get rid of just because, no chance in hell will theyb leaving @mom60511
