Your daughter is flirting with a disaster breed and you bring it up like you’re proud of it? Good Lord.

My 1st husband and I were ranch kids who grew up with and were taught early on how to properly handle livestock, horses and large dogs-our daughter grew up with big dogs-and she was never left out of our sight with her guardian German Shepherd until she was 12-she was the one who took our 2nd German Shepherd-also a female-through the drills at obedience training.

She is a teacher and a married adult woman who loves animals and worked as a vet tech. She is well able to choose and handle her own choice of companion dog. Her Pitbull is an indoor pet that sleeps with cats and was purchased at a reputable, recommended AKC kennel as an 8 week old puppy-not from a backyard breeder in a gangbanger hood-he was neutered at 5 months and he is now 11 years old-there has never been an incident with him-she took him to obedience training as soon as he was old enough for that.

I adopt my pet cats from the local animal welfare facility-but I always buy my companion dog from a reputable AKC breeder-not cheap, but I save up the money for the dog, then I buy the best-it is the only thing that makes sense if you are fond of the large working/guarding breeds of dog-as does making sure the dog knows that you are the alpha/pack leader from day one. Small milder tempered dogs are obviously better for some people, too-different strokes and all that...
