What is your opinion when it comes to my dog choice?

I love pits, but a lot of the ones that are at the pounds are there bc they are mean and if they are already mean then there isn’t much of a chance in training them differently unless you want to take the chance of getting seriously hurt. My brother has a pit and I love her to death. She is the sweetest dog. But he’s had her since she was a puppy. I recently went to the shelter to look for a new companion and all of the pits except for maybe like 2 (and there were a bunch there) there were literally trying o attack through the fence. If you could find one that wasn’t already to that extent, you might would be okay. But I wouldn’t advice getting one like that, that is already gone for your safety. I would advise getting a puppy for your safety and the safety of others around you.

And to vilela, pits are not always vicious. If you saw my brothers dog, you would change your mind. She would literally climb in your lap and lick you to death at the very worst. She is a big baby that loves to be loved on. All the mean pits are bc they are abused and trained to fight. Not loved.

any dog I trainable but I would suggest no older then 3 as they get to know you better if you have them from a younger age

Well that old saying “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” is entirely untrue. If you think you would like to adopt a grown Pit Bull then go for it. It sounds like you have experience raising pups, so you might be able to turn an adult around and make it into a very good pet.

Pitbulls are not vicious - people train them to be vicious. This, people, is how rumours start.

I think it’s a pretty noble thing to want to adopt an older dog - they certainly do need a home, but you need to consider how it’s going to affect you.

Are you going to end up resenting that dog because you actually wanted a puppy? If so, then you’re not going to be able to give that dog the love and attention it’s going to need. Don’t try to do the right thing because someone says you should…do what you think in your heart is the best option for you, but don’t feel guilted into taking an older dog that you don’t want - that won’t be good for either one of you.
