That's funny, that sounds like my little guy. He is 8 and as long as you throw his ball he is your best friend. If I am ignoring him, he will purposely put the ball in front of me so I kick it when I walk haha

Wow 18 that's awesome. I love to hear that bc it gives me hope that my 10yo female pit will be around for awhile. Does your dog have arthritis or hip/leg issues ? And has he been active his whole life. Any tips or recommendations would be great. I want to keep my dog as healthy as possible. Thanks

I know this is an old post but wanted to highly recommend the PitBull Breed to anyone looking for a perfect dog. I have had over 100 dogs throughout my lifetime and rescued my first PitBull "Diesel" from the Miami Dade Humane Society where they were going to put down over 150 of these wonderful dogs the following the following day because they are banned and illegal to own in Dade County Florida. This is very sad because they are the most misunderstood breeds known to man. I rescued "Diesel" when he was just 4 years old and have owned him for almost 5 years now and have nothing but good and positive things to say about this breed. My "Pit" is extremely Loyal, Smart, great with family, kids, and my other pets such as my 2 Chiuhuahs, Rat Terrier, Min Pin, 2 Labs, and our 2 Horses. They are definatley a good watch dogs and will put their life on the line to protect your family. They are the most loveable dogs with the funniest facial expressions that will make you laugh and smile everytime you look at them. They honestly think they are human and will do anything to make you and your family happy. I can go on and on about this wonderful breed but hope someone looking for a wonderful dog would give these dogs a chance to bring nothing but Love and Happiness to their family. They are by far the best dogs a man and his family can own.

I agree. My pitbull looks intimidating, but she loves people, especially kids, other dogs, and even cats!

JaCk7 -4 -08, your exactly right, I have 2 pit bulls, I love them, they are very good for protection. Good loving dogs on one hand, but they will guard, protect the home stead, and their owner. They are sisters and are estimated to be 7 or 8 years old, one of them is now having bloating and breathing problems, even though she is being well taken care of, it's not likely that she will survive this, only time will tell. when, I google it, it says they live to be appox. 8 to 12 years.

LOL One of mine the one that is sick now, use to be one of the biggest lap dogs, lol , a little too big to be one, but so loving and loves to snuggle and kiss ( lick ). It has everything to do with the owners and how they are raised, mine also loves to play fetch, will run after the ball and bring it back as many times as you throw it.

I AGREE 100% with this post! We have 3 pit bulls. Ages 11, 7 & 3 years old. The 7 year old is the only 1 that would protect our home. The other 2 would become ANYONE's best friend, given a treat or toy!!
Our dogs are SO loveable , I would NOT trade them for any other dog, EVER!!!

Please check into DM (degenerative myleopathy) my 13year old girl lasted well beyond the statistics but I lost her 12/15/14 mostly because meds were necessary and her kidneys were failing fast. Her sister from the same litter is still right here chewing on her bone happy as can be after 2 mastectomys! Love&treat my dogs like children! Good luck!

You're pathetic.... Only reason that the "statistics" say that is because these dogs are picked on(review other dogs and see what it says)! Read every single other post that says how loveable, loyal and sweet they really are! Stop believing the bs that the statistics are facts and get with the real world! My chihuahua would eat you before my pit would even bark!

My pittie just turned 15. He is going strong, runs around like he's a pup but gets sore and stiff a few hours later after a nap. He has his pack a weenie dog, American bulldog and 3 cats. Nothing but a gentle lovey.
