BUMP - still need to find a home for my buddy, he is neutered now and I had all of his shots updated.
is he still tempermental after being neutered? or did you do it to help him find a new home?
yea i would def see how he is with babies now that hes neutered. had him too long to let him go!
do you guys understand the risk associated with “seeing how he is with babies”?
yes. and theres countless homes with both kids…and dogs living civily .im not saying lock them in a room togther and see what happens. obviously be smart about it, im sure theres readups online about having them meet properly to show the dog whos dominant, and odds are his temperment is a lot more mellow and less snippy without his nuts.
I doubt the neutering has changed him much at all
that dog has a TON of strength, if he even gets 2 teeth on that baby’s face, there will be unrepairable damage done
he is still pretty much the same temperment - no way I can trust him with the baby alone.
if we had a year or more to take him to obedience training MAYBE i would feel confident in it, but he could rip my kid in two in a matter of seconds, can’t take that chance 
edit: also, even if i felt confident with his training, doesn’t mean the wife does. it’s just really a risk not worth taking, if he attacks my kid he gets put down, its not a good choice for the dog either.
edit2: not all responses directed at you, but directed at all of the above, i’m sure you realize the situation having a dog and a young baby as well.
My wife and I (read: I) have been contemplating getting a dog to keep our (read: her) little shit terrier company and occupied. He’s a pretty smart dog and fairly well behaved, but he has 1,000,000 times the energy that her and I do combined.
I’ve never been particularly interested in a pitbull, but I love almost every mix of lab. Even though you say that he may not be good with dogs, I’ve never seen two dogs stay enemies after a few days of constant interaction so I 'm hoping that after a break in period they’d get along okay. I’m sort of liking the idea of getting a dog that’s already been trained. A few questions before I talk to my wife tonight:
How does he react to direction from your wife, or females in general? I’m frequently away for work, and he would have to be manageable for my wife.
I’m assuming he’s house trained. How long can he hold his bladder? Do you have to walk him every time you let him out, or do you have a fenced in area?
Do you feed him people food?
i agree with what your doing. I wrestle with my pitbull all the time and i end up getting hurt every time. lol luckily my daughter and my pit are partners in crime, Today she was pulling out tissue after tissues while my dog was chewing them up into a million pieces. just too bad things couldnt work out. sounds like this would be a great dog for single/couple with no little kids.
good luck.
hope he doesn’t know how to do it on his own!
my bird used to always just pull out tissues with her beak, then eat them.
anytime she’d be flying around and see one… she’d always stop and eat them.
sometimes she’d shred them… sometimes she’d eat them.
meh.
Tell your baby to grow
you should send your kid for MMA lessons
he reacts fine to my wife - and in general he won’t jump/paw on females, only males due to most of my friends being retards and always getting him to jump on them.
he sucks at the come command, no idea why but he just doesn’t get it. sit, lay down, roll over, he does fine. He definitely needs obedience training with his fear/aggression towards dogs and his occasional not wanting to be pet/snarl walk away from you BS that he does. We just never did it because we were lazy.
I agree on the dogs can get along after being put together for a while, he has lived with/played with other dogs in the past so I know its possible. I just don’t want someone to think he is “good to go” it is going to take some proper introductions and training to get him comfortable with other dogs again, IMO.
As for the standard house training stuff he really is great. He doesn’t chew anything, he lets you know he has to go out, provided he is in a home he understands and knows where “out” is. He has gone 8 hours or so at a time on a regular basis without going out, sometimes longer, but that is his normal interval for the work week. We have a fenced in yard and i’ve always just let him out to take care of his business, never has been an issue there.
The only issue I could see with your wife is his strength when walking him, he can drag my wife down the street pretty easily, he’s about 70 lbs and muscular. However if he goes to obedience training I would assume his pulling while walking would be improved.
The most important thing is that he responds reasonably well to direction.
I’m pretty good with dogs, especially with obedience / walking. I think the first step is for my wife and I to meet him, and if that goes well we should block a decent amount of time (at least 1 hour) to try and introduce the two dogs.
I’ll move to a PM to try set a time.
responded to your PM - if you’re good with dogs i’m sure you can handle him, he has his issues but i’m pretty confident with obedience training he would be sorted out. i’m just not much of a dog trainer, obviously 
You’ll probably want to introduce the dogs on neutral turf and then later try bringing the new dog into your home. These are VERY VERY different situations for dogs…it’s much more stressful to have a new dog all up in yo’ grill than having a new buddy to run around the park with.
Good luck.
have you contacted any pitbull/lab rescues? better to drop him off at one of those than the SPCA if you can’t find someone to take him.
