Natural choice, chicken, rice and outmeal formula. Sometimes I let him have raw meals. I think it is about 33 bucks for the large breed puppy formula.

Is the brand you posted about available at petco?

Its available at pet food express, so i would assume its available at petco.

Natural choice is good though.

You could be right. But, American bulls vary in height also. Some Scott's are rather tall while others strains can be more compact(especially hybrids). Take a look at my johnson/Scott pup. He is 10 months old here.About 90% of his full height. He weighs 81 lbs in this picture. He will gain another 10 - 15 lbs. Either way we can agree that pit had something bred into its lines for size. Can you post some pics of your studs and pups? I was looking into a miniature bull terrier. Female.

I wonder how big my pup will get. His sire is around 95 lbs. american bulls are not full gorwn until almost 3 years old!

Hybrid (if 3/8, 5/8) should come in at 100-110 lbs. Nice dog. Is he severly undershot, or does he have a nice reverse scissors?

Looks like just the angle of the photo to me, I was thinking the same thing but if you have a closer look the canines are definately pointing up not out

is that a dog type

body88 · « **Reply #185 on:** December 07, 2006, 06:34:11 PM »

Yes, they are great dogs. They are not for a novice owner tho. You need to know how to raise a k9 if you want one of these. They should really be on farms and places with alot of land They are very rare. Sanders is a good kennel for them. Mike Vick and Shannon Sharp got pups from them if I remember correctly. Other famous people also.

Presa's are really sweet and playful as long as you show that you aren't intimidated or cautious around them. They are really sensitive dogs and catch on very quickly to uneasiness. I've encountered about 4 in my life, and never found them to be as intimidating as they were portrayed to be, they are just kinda... looking to the humans for an "ok" on everything. Its like they constantly need reassurance. I played with one that the SPCA had up here and man was that dog an athlete... unbelievably fast, strong and agile. They'll do absolutely anything for food and really like to stay close to their owners. They're as loyal as a APBT, but needier. Like Body said, they're not for the novice owner and do need lots of land and exercise. Another great dog that got its rep destroyed when those weirdos up here in SF had their presas attack that lesbian lacrosse coach from St. Mary's. Ever since then whenever you bring up the word presa, people always talk about how "evil" they are.

Presas are confident in their size too. They understand that they are powerful, and don't feel the need to prove it. (from what I hear, I don't own one yet...). So, they don't typically lash out, unless they or the family is attacked.
You can find some training videos online for them that are pretty crazy.

One particular one that I like is where an "intruder" is waving his arms, and yelling at a presa through an open car window. The dog barks, but doesn't move no matter how much the guy yells and waives. But, the moment the guy touches the car, the dog attacks.

You can see how powerful they are in some of the attack scenes too.

Here's a pic of the "Red Star Girls"

I know this is a pitbull thread, but where can one find a greyhound pups? I work with a guy who got his greyhound after it retired from the track, he said grey hound pups are so rare, its like they don't exist.
I was just curious that's all. My dad used have one as a kid.
