Yeah that is because with him and Chucka fighting nothing would stay and cover the stiches and drain tube holes.. So we kind of made up that little rigging... It works and he doesn't mind it....

Is this doggy porn?

No doggy porn.. That's Chaos trying to jump over Chucka to snatch up the toy.. They don't try to hump each other thank god.. But they do kiss each other a little more then what I would like.. Me and the wife do joke that there gay. The two of them since they got home lay nose to nose and lick each others mouth.. It's kind of cute...

I am glad to see they are doing well Sin. I told you, pitbulls are warriors. Couple more weeks and it will be all over and although you may remember it, they won't. They'll just be happy being home and playing in the yard and going for walks and stuff.

Yes the boys are back to health. Thank you all so much for your concern and support. It was really appreciated. Yall are the best. I will update with pictures of the boys once Chucka is voted in for dog of the month. Thanks again to all Espc. Vet you helped out a ton and made it to where I wasn't just a dumb pet owner without a clue. Like I said if were ever in the same area I owe you at least a beer and lunch. Thanks again to everyone.

Hey Sin. I was wanting to get another pit to compliment Berlin, who is now just over 30+ lbs. Is it absolutely necessary to keep them seperated when I or my wife are away? And if so, how long? I wouldn't want the dogs to start tearing into each other. In addition, Berlin is just over 4 months old, when would the best time be to get a 2nd Pit? I'm greatly worried in obtaining a 7-8 week old puppy for fear that Berlin might get a bit overexcited and hurt him. At the same time, I'm a tad worried about obtaining a full-grown Pit in worries over him possibly harming Berlin.

It seems your dogs(they look damn nice, btw...what bloodline is Chucka, and how large do you expect him to get?) get along, do you leave them alone when unsupervised?

Thanks.

Don't even contemplate getting another dog until Berlin is around 2 years of age. Getting 2 dogs close to the same age , basically both puppies in your case, and having them live together pretty much assures that they will grow a closer bond with one another and will grow further apart from you. You already have one dog recovering from an attack, in my opinion you really really need to slow down and wait until Berlin is fully matured before you even ponder the idea of a second dog. You have a year-18months before he even matures mentally, and right now the Berlin you know will be alot different when he is fully grown. You don't know much at all about Berlin right now, he is still a baby.

Why the rush to get another dog? You have a beautiful puppy that you need to mold and guide for the next year or so, that is a huge responsibility in and of itself.

temper35 · « **Reply #344 on:** October 11, 2007, 07:25:05 PM »

And also, if you have to keep two dogs that are members of the same "pack" separated when you are away, in anyones case, this is a serious issue. I am not referring to Sin because I have never heard him say this before, I am saying generally speaking. As much as I give flower shit about alot of different issues, I would not call her dogs "unstable". She may have to put the little one away for obvious reasons because the risk of injury is so prevalent but in any case where you have two dogs of the same size and since they may not get along or something, you have to separate them...you need to seek professional help because there is problems from the foundation on up in the household.

I don't want to misinterpret what you said - are you saying because I have a toy dog with giant dogs I may have to keep them separate for his safety? I suppose when the toy is a puppy that is a good idea, and I did that until I was sure all would be fine. And when Addie was introduced she was kept separate when I was not home until I was sure everyone was integrated fine, which didn't take that long in either case. Longer in Tad's because he was getting house trained also so didn't have free run of the downstairs.

I think in any case it is wise to have supervised interaction until it is certain that no problems will break out. That would depend on the individual dogs. While my dogs (except for Addie) don't take to strange dogs right off, they are not dog aggressive and would walk away if they did not want to interact with the new dog. So individual personalities would be a big part.

I've heard that if you get 2 puppies around the same time they will bond to each other more than to you? I've never had 2 puppies at the same time, Bri and Emmett are the closest, 6 months apart, I wouldn't want to puppies at the same time! oh boy!

Yes that is what I am saying. But I mean it in the respect that I have never had a dog that small and would imagine a huge Dane could accidentally injure a small dog without even trying, like even by walking into it. That is what I meant. I think it'd be pretty normal if they had to be unsupervised for a long period of time and you crated Tad so nothing would happen when you weren't there.

If you have 2 puppies at the same time they unevitably(sp?) spend more time together than with you. Also, because they are canines and we are not, they can communicate a little better than us, so time spent is alot more productive. It would be very very very unlikely that each of those dogs would respect you individually and disregard the bond they share. This is dependent on alot of factors, and I am also using this in the context of dominant breeds such as a pit bull.

I just generally would not recommend this to anyone. The day I got Plato I was at the breeder's for 4 hours, 75% of it just talking about various dog related things and the way she does things and her program etc. She emphatically stated she would never sell two puppies to someone, ever. I know a woman who breeds Irish Setter's and has the same exact policy. You would have to be able to devote a large amount of time to pull it off, and really know your stuff.

Thanks.

First I will start with Chucka's bloodline, I am not 100% of it. I bought him off a kid I train with. He was going back to college and couldnt take him. He had just paid 1,000 for him off of www.Camelotpitbulls.com and has the papers. He wanted 500 for him. I told him I would take him for 100 and promise him a good home. It took a little persuading and making him think of who could be buying him. He just didnt want him bred and didnt give me that papers. He did however let me look at the papers and see that he was a camelot.

NOW on to the other question. I personally say if you are going to get another dog do it now. This is based off of my own experiance. I've always and I repeat have always owned two dogs. In Vegas we had two pits of the same age and it was no big deal. My dogs just know who is the boss, I work with both of them at the same time. Plus one is more of the wifes dog and one is my dog. They oth sleep in the bed and have never had issues with either of them. They are both get along very well. I was at first worried that Chaos wouldn't take to another pup but Chaos has taken on the older dog role. Chucka is like the lil kid brother who annoys the shit out of him. CHaos lets lucka know when playitme is over.

We were also worried about leaving them in the kennel together. It's only 10 ft X 10 ft. and I didn't know how they would do pinned up so close. Not a big deal. they don't fight they listen well and wouldn't want one to be with out the other. I am at work for at least 8 hours a day sometimes 12 on nights that I have school. I wanted Chaos to have someone to chill with and cause CHAOS with. I wouldn't change a thing. Never had a problem nor do I expect to. My dogs are so jealous if you love on one you have to 50 lb pits all over you given you kisses. When the alarm goes off I get a bath every morning at 5:30.

PS thanks for the compliments on my boys. I wish Berlin was a girl. He's beautiful as well.

Experts can say what they say and yadda yadda yadda here is your proof. Two puppies do fine with each other. This is just taken about 5 minutes ago...Chucka usually doesnt get on the bed until about 4 in the morning the rest of the night he sleeps on the floor. These guys love each other and be kissing each other like there queer.
