The Official R3V Pet Thread

Yep, APBT's are awesome dogs. I wouldn't trade mine for anything else. In fact, I'll be surprised if I ever own anything but one after having mine. The most people loving breed I've ever been around! Their power is to be respected though.

I will say, however, that there are some real legitimate issues regarding them. There's some terrible backyard breeding that's overwhelmingly present (which leads to less than stellar dogs) and a ridiculous amount of complete DB people that want to own these dogs simply because of their look. I get extremely irritated by both because of how it negatively affects the public view of the breed. But, same was true for Doberman's before, then Rottweilers.... I can only hope that the media hype regarding ABPT's will pass as well. But until the poor breeding practices and wanna be gang banger type owners stop, I'm not sure if that will happen.

I'm with ya 100% Never had a better dog....

This is Missy. She's about 10 months old (6 months in the photo) and is an absolute sweetheart. However everyone who walks their dogs or children besides me as I'm walking her, they jolt in opposite directions. I'm assuming they believe pit bulls are ferocious, but she isn't a pitbull. She's an American Staffordshire Terrier. I feel so bad for her since she gets no other dog contact besides when I have my buddies dogs come over, or for play dates. People are so judgmental, it down right pisses me off.

the wife's dogs:
Fred the pug:
Thumbalina the pug/boston terrier mix:
Thumbalina is my favorite, she is about the size of my foot.

My friends parents have a pug like the first one, but his right eye has been cut, so he looks like a pirate, and his name is "Pugsley"

They also have a black pug that they named "Vader" because of the obvious resemblance

after that fucking coyote got my moms dog i felt so terrible i went out and got her a new puppy before breaking the news to her. i planned on keeping it and training it for a few weeks and then after she grieved the loss of her puppy id give her this. but she was on me right away to get her another dog so i told her i already did. i also got another so biscus has a playmate. so i ended up with 2. they are only 4 weeks here and i cant get them for another month. shes excited as i took her out to visit them last night.

E34 john, what species are those birds? Theyre beauties.

Supposed to be Red Golden Pheasants, but I think they got cross with Amhearst cause theres a little green on their backs. I raised them from about 5 days old.

Good name for a dog.

This is the guy that replaced China, my Pit. His name is Oliver. He's about 1 year old and quite the character. First smaller dog I've personally had other than a couple my mom had when I was younger.
