How to Name your Pit bull?

Congrats for choosing a Pit bull as your pet! Now it is a party time to choose a perfect name for your beloved pet. Naming a pit bull is really a Herculean task. Yes!!! Selecting suitable name for your pit bull is mandatory.

Some of the Pit Bull owners select some crappy name and here I am going to share how you can avoid selecting lousy name and fix a perfect name for your pit bull.

Most of the owners prefer to choose a name, which reflects the Pit Bulls size and strength. e.g Bull or Tank or Bear. But some of the owners prefer to select the contrast names such as fluffy, honey, sugar or softy.

But do choose a name with one or two syllables because you can remember very easily as well as your dog too. Most Pit Bulls will respond quicker with short names.

Select a unique name. Don't try to name your dog that shows your love or strength of your pet. Do select a name that has value to you and your dog.

Try to spend more time online to choose various names of Pit Bull available online. ALL THE BEST!!!

The History of Red-Nose Pitbulls

Nobody knows from where red-nose pitbulls orginated. Probing the fact of its intrusion into U.S., so many interesting facts are being revealed.

A famous boxer- John Sullivan, came to the USA to fight in a world heavyweight championship from Ireland. He asked his parents to ship his rednose pitbulls over from Ireland. This was the time the red-nosed pitbulls are being introduced in USA.

The red-nosed pitbulls are GOOD dog as long as you teach them early not to be aggressive. Beware these dogs are becoming so notorious if provoked or taught with aggresive behavior. These Red-nosed pitbulls have gone from never doing a thing wrong in the way of aggression to chewing up a three year old child who walked past the fence in their yard. So be careful while dealing this dog. Please keep in mind that two pitbull fighting is more dangerous than one. All the best to rear a red-nosed pit bull.

You Don't Get a Second Chance!

If you don't want to see your Pitbull put to sleep or even shot, please read this article.

I'm sure you're aware of the bad reputation Pitbulls have. That reputation is mostly based on ignorance and irresponsible owners that don't take the time to learn about the breeds special needs.

You see, alot of people buy a Pitbull and expect it to naturally turn into a perfect pet without any work on their part. That's exactly why you hear so much about Pitbull attacks in the news... Irresponsible and Uninformed Owners(as well as neglect and abuse in many human attack cases).

As a well known Pitbull expert, I receive up to 40 emails a day from normal people all over the world. Most of the emails are from people that are desperate for help with their Pitbull.

Unfortunately I don't have time to answer every email I get, but I often spend as much as 5 hours in a day answering as many as possible. It's because of this fact that I wrote The Pitbull Guide. The goal of my book is to help people before they get into a bad situation that requires them to give their Pitbull away, or put it to sleep.

You wouldn't believe some of the emails I get(It's depressing sometimes)... These are some of the common types of email messages I get:

Emails from People that believe you have to physically beat the heck out of Pitbulls to get them to behave. This is incredibly stupid because it leads to them being more aggressive toward strangers and terrified of their owner.

Emails from People that are upset that their Pitbull might be put to sleep or taken away because of an animal or human attack. It should never get to this, there are several simple things you can do to seriously reduce the risk of your Pitbull ever attacking.

I've even received quite a few emails from upset owners that had their Pitbull SHOT by a neighbor or Police Officer, simply because it was roaming, or because it attacked another dog. Pitbulls were bred as fighting dogs and if you don't take the necessary steps to prevent it, there's a very good chance your Pitbull WILL attack another animal, and it will almost certainly maim or kill that animal.

Don't get me wrong, Pitbulls are not human aggressive by nature. However, there is a huge demand for Big, Mean, Aggressive Pitbulls by people that shouldn't be allowed to own any animal. Because of this demand, people have started breeding Pitbulls with bigger and more aggressive breeds. They still call it a Pitbull but it's behavior is far from it.

I know alot about Pitbulls, and due to the amount of email I've received, I'm possibly the leading expert in the world on the problems people have with them. Most of the problems can be solved or prevented very easily if you just learn and use some simple techniques.

I want you to ask your self the following questions and really consider them:

What if your Pitbull gets out and kills a neighbors dog? What if that neighbor sues you?

What if your Pitbull gets out and approaches a police officer that has the common misconception that Pitbulls are viscous dogs?

What if a child chases a ball into your backyard? Are you confident that child will be safe?

You might be thinking "that'll never happen" or "my sweet Pitbull would never attack another animal." I more than anyone, am qualified to tell you that it can and does happen all the time. I get the emails from people that are desperate and depressed, seeking my help because these things did happen to them.

It is true that Pitbulls are naturally loving toward people, but don't dare think, for even one second, that Pitbulls aren't naturally aggressive with other animals. Sure your Pitbull may get along great with your two Yellow Labs and maybe even your cat, but when your Pitbull stands face to face with another animal that it's never met, there's no one on earth that can guarantee the safety of that animal! But you can greatly reduce the chances of your Pitbull ever attacking another animal if you know how.

You need to face the fact that Pitbulls are high energy, animal aggressive dogs. You need to know that Pitbulls are incorrectly viewed as viscous, child killing dogs and that people have shot and killed Pitbulls just for coming on their property(even when the Pitbull was wagging it's tail, looking to be pet).

I know some of this is a little scary, heck I'll probably even get some hate mail from Pitbull lovers because of it. You see, Pitbull lovers hate to read anything negative about Pitbulls. But due to the increasing trend of outlawing Pitbulls(It's happening all over the world), their future isn't looking very bright. The purpose of this article is to slap Pitbull owners in the face with what has happened to other Pitbull owners, so they don't have to experience it.

You need to learn how to properly care for, and train your Pitbull so that it doesn't attack other animals or people. You need to learn how to keep your Pitbull from roaming. You need to understand why your Pitbull has certain behaviors. How to manage it's energy level so that it doesn't dig and chew everything in sight.

I want everyone to understand that Pitbulls have special needs and that a little bit of work on your part could end up saving you thousands of dollars as well as a lifetime of heartache.

We Pitbull owners tend to blame the Media for the bad reputation Pitbulls have, but it's really the fault of irresponsible owners and breeders. People need to know how great this breed is, but they also need to know that this breed has special needs and requires a responsible owner who is willing to put in the effort needed to ensure their Pitbull doesn't ever need a second chance.

I really don't want to receive any more depressing emails, so please do yourself, your dog, and your community a favor and learn how to properly raise, and train your Pitbull. With a little effort on your part, your relationship and time with your Pitbull can be better than you ever imagined.

Pitbull Castration - A remedy for ferociousness?

Some of the pitbull owners think pitbull castration is a perfect remedy for ferociousness. Even some owners fear to have their pitbulls castrated because they believe it will cause them to get fat. Here I am enumerating the advantages of Pitbull castration-

1. Stops unwanted pregnancies
2. Completely stops urine spraying and marking
3. Agression towards other male dog will be completely stopped.
4. Minimizes the roaming in the street, which in turn minimizes the accident and decreases emergency hospital visits.
5. Decreases the incidence of life threatening diseases like prostate cancer and prostatitis.

As bottom line, I would like to confirm that your pitbull agression will be minimized if it is castrated. The surgery will not serve to make him more passive if your pitbull does not have an aggression problem.
