> [@Dominance9](#): > > Yea Eric is the owner… he should def get back to you soon. I know it sounds gay, but seriuosly thanks for contacting him and not just going to the shelter. I would take yours in a heart beat but I have a 4 yr old pit and just got the puppy. I dont think 3 pits and 3 cats would do well. Even though my cats beat up the one. Good luck and if he doesnt get back to you let me know. I know they are super busy, so if nothing in a couple days, let me know. :tup: yea he got back to me initially directing me to an obedience person, I also am in touch with another adoption moderator for SPBR now so we will see what happens. I am feeling semi-hopeful at this point, but I know how quickly available foster homes and adoption places fill up so it all depends on availability… ☹ ---

> [@ericvw7989](#): > > if 540guy and i take it will it rip the shit out of our apt. definitely not, he does not chew anything at all. he will only rip the shit out of burglar’s. ok, he won’t do that either, he actually would probably keep laying on the floor. I have noticed he is completely useless as a guard dog, apparently unless your home is being invaded by crawling infants. ---

any way of using like gates? block him out of rooms that you have your kid in, just dont allow him around the kid. you still get to keep him, you just need to spend the money to get barriers! just a thought! id miss my dog for sure if i had to give him away, it would be such heart break, im telling you, block off rooms and teach the dog which rooms hes allowed and which he is not. how long before the newby comes home? ---

All these people saying, do this and that to keep it…i have to disagree. It has already hinted at you that it doesn’t like your kid. Don’t put the kid in danger and get rid of the dog even though it sucks. ---

dubbin91, if you can keep the dog away from the kid, why would you have to get rid of it? i mean i understand what your saying, but being a kid that young, you should never ever leave them alone in the first place. so seeing as thats the case, if the dog some how got free, you cage him back up, because your able to get him before he does any harm, seeing as you should always be around the kids at that age! ---

parents often times will leave their kids in a kid-safe room, on the floor to play with some toys and crawl around my sister does it all the time, if the room is properly prepared, it is no harm to the child of course, the parents are almost always within line of sight, but a pitbull on a rampage is much faster than a busy parent. a baby gate no match to any dog that weighs 60 lbs or more. it is not a chance you can take. ---

why is he not fixed? that should be step number one. If you don’t want to get him fixed you better get him laid at least twice a year, as that is the natural season for dogs. You would be edgy at times if you could NEVER get your load off either. ---

It only takes a second for this to turn into a tragedy and I can guarantee with the two living in the same house there will be that moment where you lose track. Keeping them confined and separated all the time will only make an aggressive attack that much more likely because the kid will be curious about the dog and the dog won’t be conditioned to put up with the kid. The whole, “gates, try obedience school, neuter him”, not worth the risk, especially with a pit bull mix. That said, my dog has been TOO good with my daughter. Last week I caught her using him as a step to get up on the couch and he just stayed there. I scolded her, told him what a good boy he was, and the next time I caught her doing that I yelled, “Who’s here Max?”. That sent him bolting for the door and sent her for a little tumble onto the carpet. She cried and I explained that’s why we don’t climb on the dog.
