WILL YOU BE A GOOD OWNER? IS A PIT BULL BREED RIGHT FOR YOU?

• AM I AN EXPERIENCED DOG OWNER, OR A NATURAL LEADER?
• AM I FIRMLY COMMITTED TO SOCIALIZING AND TRAINING MY PUPPY FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE?
• DO I TEND TO BE CALM AND QUIET RATHER THAN SHORT FUSED AND HYPER?
• WILL I TRAIN MY DOG WITH KINDNESS, CONSISTENCY AND PATIENCE?
• AM I A PHYSICALLY ACTIVE PERSON?
• AM I WILLING TO EXERCISE THIS DOG EVERYDAY?
• AM I INFORMED ABOUT THE MISCONCEPTIONS AND THE BIASES AGAINST THIS BREED?
• DO I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS DOG MUST BE A PART OF THE FAMILY?
• CAN I PROVIDE A WARM HOME FOR THIS DOG AND NOT KEEP HIM CHAINED OUTSIDE?
• AM I EAGER TO CONVINCE THE PUBLIC THAT BULLY BREEDS MAKE GREAT FAMILY PETS?
• AM I UP FOR FIGHTING BSL AND NEGATIVE BREED PROFILING?
• ARE YOU AWARE OF YOUR COMMUNITY AND KNOW YOU CAN HAVE A BULLY BREED?

After you answer these questions, the next thing is to research where you are going to get your dog from. There are 3 places to do this in no particular order. A Responsible Breeder, Animal Shelter (Humane Society, ASPCA) or a Rescue Organization. DO NOT Buy from a dog store/puppy store. Not only are you contributing to Puppy Mills, you chances of having a problematic dog is very high (whether it is aggression, potty training, health) because of the way they have spent their life up to that point.
