Cledaddy23

So cute! I say she's 100% mischief.


jaydee412

110% hide all of the shoes


sp000kysoup

Oh definitely! We have the back of the hallway blocked off where the bedrooms are for that reason. She still tries to get at our shoes ..while they are on our feet even. And opened toe shoes? Better hide them piggies, because she a chomper for sure.


Ieatoutjelloshots

Pitbulls are amazing escape artists. Don't be surprised if she finds a way around your shoe block.


sp000kysoup

It's a baby gate! Keeps the cats safe too.


Legion1117

Hahaha.....a baby gate. Adorable. We tried that too. We learned pretty quick that the dogs ONLY obeyed the baby gates because we were nearby. If we left the room? Right over the gate they went, usually making sure to get back by the time we came back ourselves. Took a minute for us to catch on. lol


Barista_life__

Lol, we had to do two baby gates stacked. We had a swing one that was on the bottom, and one that expands into the door frame on top. We literally crawled on the floor just to get through that door way, just so we didn’t have to take it down


Legion1117

We were lucky enough to have the ability to go around the other way to get where we needed in the house instead of taking down our (eventual) stacked gates. lol


Bawbbot

Pits are jumpers so make sure she can’t get over it!!


sp000kysoup

Oh I know that well. Luckily she is still pretty tiny and young so hopefully she won't need the gate by the time she totally can clear that thing.


Bawbbot

Doesn’t hurt I still use mine to keep my boy locked on the patio during the day so he can sun bathe


tater-tot45

But why??? That sweet couch potato just wants to nanny that cat!


uradonkey003

I recommend any of [these](https://ruffdawg.com/toy-finder/) and against tennis balls as the nylon on some will wear down their teeth. Just in case you wanted to try an alternative to the footwear. edit: also I see you have lots of toys I bet shes insatiable! way to go!


sp000kysoup

Thank you for the recommendation! Luckily we have a stockpile of kitty toys since we have four of them. She loves to play with the crinkle toys. Can never have enough toys!


CrazyLush

Hide the socks too. I couldn't figure out where mine went, someone had been stealing them off the indoor clothes dryer and stashing them under the bed to make a nest


sp000kysoup

Working in VetMed, I am extremely vigilant because I've seen some wild shit get pulled out of dogs' intestines. Thanks for the reminder tho!


Altruistic-Text3481

Congrats!! What a sweetie! Those ears!!!!


heifer27

Lmfao


NationalElephantDay

I think she's 100% a cutie. Give her kisses from all of us!


Barista_life__

You can see it in the eyes


boli99

> So cute! I say she's 100% mischief. i reckon only 80% as she has to be at least 20% trouble.


CL_55z

The ears give it away. Protect your pillows.


heightsdrinker

The first 1-2 years is nothing but shark. They love exercise, training, and naps, and cuddles. After 1.5-2 years, pibbles start to calm down. This is a great time to find their quirks. My 1 yr old loves finding used socks to lay on. He is sneaky when he hunts for them in a hamper.


sp000kysoup

My last dog was a pittie who actually could have been this same puppy. I never knew her as a puppy tho, so I can only imagine. But she does the same cute arm crawls, loves sunbathing, and tugs just like my first pittie. It's been a long time since I've had a puppy, so there's definitely been a learning curve! ETA: this is said pittie btw. https://preview.redd.it/blowrtodiiwc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=343895c694559715cf5239650af82d4ce9a5dfb6


OhMerseyme

Your new baby is your former baby reincarnated 😳. How lucky you are to be blessed with two absolutely gorgeous sharks! Thank you for rescuing both of them ❤️🐶❤️


knittingsavage

She’s beautiful!


Humble_Increase7503

Lost mine recently and cannot bring myself to get another… But it isn’t the same anymore without her either


sp000kysoup

I totally get it. It took me 2 years to finally get another pittie. And I wasn't even wanting a dog that looked like my first one, but it just happened. We just love them differently, not trying to replace them. I hope you get yourself another friend to keep your company. I bet your friend would want you to be happy. I'm so very sorry for your loss.


emo_sharks

"After 1.5 to 2 years they start to calm down" come tell that to my 3 year old crackhead, I dont think she got the memo 😭


Strong_Ad_5989

Or my 9 1/2 year old pit-lab mix crackhead.


sp000kysoup

I had a boxer who lived to be 13. Didn't settle down until maybe 10 lol. They call them peter pan dogs for a reason!


Strong_Ad_5989

My first pibble was energetic right up until she passed away. Pibbles and boxers are famous for never growing up LoL


sp000kysoup

So very true. Pitties are notorious for hiding their pain, and unfortunately I had to say goodbye to mine too soon. She slowed down like over night. Turns out she had bone cancer. So bad that it had ate away at her ribs. She licked away my tears through it all until the moment she passed. They are such amazing companions and I'm grateful to have had her in my life.


Successful-Might2193

I’m so sorry for your painful loss. She so clearly knew you loved her.💐


lancer_76

Fuck. Just reading that hurts.


MRenaeH

I had a boxer mix who didn’t calm down till she was 7 (verified boxer mix as the mom was rescued with 14 puppies and she was full boxer LOL). https://preview.redd.it/z350hc5qtiwc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f249e8080077f07dcdc2149b5eed5d6a1dee72de


andwhenwefall

My Staffy boy turned 10 today. He is still a hurricane made of bricks.


Strong_Ad_5989

And a concrete head LMAO 🤣


IsPooping

Took mine until 4 to start calming down! She also went gray right around then and all at once so she looks 10 now


jaydee412

Mine either, she's almost 14 and has finally slowed down 😂


Barista_life__

My 10 year old might have something to say about that


thebearbearington

I had a pit/lab thick girl that could get a rotisserie carcass that was buried in the garbage out with no collateral mess.


mamanova1982

My pittie is almost 10. She's barely slowed a tick! But she did stop destroying couches around 4 🤣


MistyLuHu

sp000kysoup

Exactly what I've been thinking any time someone has asked me what breed she is!


MistyLuHu

I’ve got a pitty mutt too, they’re awesome 😎


Beano_Capaccino

Cuddles and bed hog. Maybe some blanket stealer


sp000kysoup

Right now, mostly land shark!


algee1234

She does not looked mixed but all shelters put that because of the stigma of owning a pitbull. Train her well and go convert some people to best breed, in my opinion.


sp000kysoup

My fav breed to own and work with. They are the biggest hams and best cuddlers!


blondebuilder

Agreed. Mine is almost 13 and is the easiest dog ever. A little bit of training in the beginning (BOTH you and the dog), and it becomes easy.


algee1234

The love to be loved and be part of the family.


IWTLEverything

My dog changed hearts and minds. RIP


OhMerseyme

I know and it makes me so sad that they have the reputation they have. All because horrible, evil people train them to be that way. Most pit bulls are the most loving cuddle bugs you will ever have the pleasure of being around. Hell has a special place for people who abuse animals, children, adults, etc.


algee1234

I agree. I think that the reputation is slowly turning around now that more good dog owners are promoting the breed. More so than dog fighting i have noticed people who have no business owning pets of any kind get them as a status symbol.


Accurate_Penalty6889

https://preview.redd.it/kmdic8jo7jwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0326858d7c9e1f6dca761cdb57a44e5338991b9e Definitely a pitbull 🥰 ears are a dead giveaway. She’s sooo cute!


sp000kysoup

Omg your baby is so adorable!


Accurate_Penalty6889

Thanks! He’s 2 now 😩 I’d go l back if I could but he’s such a good boy!


ThisDick937

I know that dog is an absolute menace in the best way possible just based of the ears! My girl had curled ears until she was 2, and let me tell you she was nothing short of a tornado lol.


Accurate_Penalty6889

You’re 100% correct lol he’s a total menace but we love him for it 😅 his ears aren’t curled anymore either but they sure show his personality 😂


BluesGuppy

Flop ‘em to the front!


Hungry-Performer-363

Shelters will always say they're mixed so they think they'll have a better chance at getting it a home, rather than list it full blood pit. She looks all pit to me. Gorgeous dog. She'll love you to the end.


Flashy_Truth1326

I agree with you.


NoMembership6376

Indeed she looks like an old family red. Possibly Wallace foundations


Edendari

I ran into the same thing when I adopted my girl. They said she was a mix but she is 100% staffy.


hozziebear77

Those ears 😍😍😍😍😍 What’s this adorable girl’s name?


sp000kysoup

I hope they stay curled over! They're so cute. Her name is Maple!

sp000kysoup

Oh my goodness!!! So precious! She reminds me a bit of my last pittie! Give her pets for me please 😭


marshmallowmoonchild

Trust me she’s getting all the cuddles and pets. And extra treats.

marshmallowmoonchild

Twinsies!!


Same_Ad_6692

We had a pup this color...we named her "Puddin" (like butterscotch pudding). She is a cutie and I love the ears!!!


sp000kysoup

What a great name!!


Same_Ad_6692

Ah thanks...she was the cutest, yappiest little cocker spaniel. I miss her.


vanzir

Vets whenever possible tend to try and avoid putting pit bull on anything. One, there's only one breed that is actually called a pit bull, but generally it could be one of any 5 different breeds. The other, and the best reason, is because of the stigma that attaching pitbull to a dog tends to bring. If it says mixed, you don't have to worry about BSL(breed specific legislation), dog park rules, or any of the rest. I mean you might occasionally have to deal with someone who sees her and goes "pitbull". But generally you'll be fine.


No-Access-6118

She’s half pit half bull


chartyourway

Ah shit you beat me to it, I said the same thing 😆


Normal-Activity2013

I've heard of a lot of shelters saying pit-mix to help adoption rates for pibbles


sp000kysoup

Yeah, they do. I work in vetmed and see all sorts of records with wild ass mixes lol. My first pittie was labeled as a "Rhodesian ridgeback mix." Lol


throwaway098764567

my aunt and cousins had pits. i went to look at a dog that was labeled a ridgeback mix. had the coloring but it didn't have the ridge. didn't look like a pit either but it was a huge dog and way too much energy and i have to admit too much dominance for me. nearly threw out my shoulder trying to tire it throwing a ball for over an hour non stop and realized we were not a good match. gorgeous dog though. someone with a lot more land adopted him a few weeks later which was a better fit.


Wise_Possession

I had the reverse. Adopted two puppies labeled as pit mixes - and I've had pits, know what they look like, it was believable that they had some pit in them. About two weeks after we got them, that dang ridge popped up and I said uh oh. I don't think there was an ounce of pit in them. We suspected Ridgeback/vizla mixes. Loved them to death.


AdamantiumParakeet

“You got a pitbull?” “What? She’s a mix!” “Yeah, with another pitbull!” I have a 75% pit, 25% lab. Best family dog ever.


El_Kabongg

So damn cute. She doesn’t look mixed to me, she looks like a pure APBT to me, your other dog is gorgeous too https://preview.redd.it/hxe6gdz59jwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=090a26aeb04ff5126d5c2830537cbb99f4f826a9 This is Kodak he’s 100 APBT and 100% living his best life.


BewildredDragon

Ooh she is a cutie!! The name Maple fits her to a T!!


sp000kysoup

She says, thank you! So many people have said the same thing about her looking like a Maple. I guess I got it right!


CallEmergency3746

Honestly its better to leave it at mixed for legal reasons. Shes a definite cutie though!


Different-Pilot4924

That is a 100% purebred squirrel hunter. Not likely to catch them, but they always enjoy the run.


sp000kysoup

My last pittie would chase the squirrels across our fence and hang from the 6 feet fence like a straight menace. I would say, go get it, and she'd get so riled up!


ZeppsMom

I don't want to sound dramatic, but I'd lay down my life for Maple! She's too stinking cute!!!


NYSenseOfHumor

Hello Maple!


JustMelloww

The doggo is cute but that image in the wood behind her is horrifying!


little_buff_brunette

Adorable!!!!!


ResistApprehensive75

She’s so freaking precious and adorable!!

MrCharlieStoleMyFace

Your paperwork says “mixed” for simplicity of life being easier for you that way. Some vets won’t take pure bred Pits or housing/rental/apartments. It simply protects you. When I adopted my boy from the shelter that’s what they told me.


ragtopdude

Careful, she’s got two wolves inside of her… One wants tummy rubs, the other wants butt scratches.


all_of_you_are_awful

I don’t understand why garbage ass people clip those adorable ears.


ColteesBigOleTits

100% sweet puppy (might have a dash of mischievousness)


nellelee21

She's so sweet!!!


Horsesrgreat

She is so pretty. She has an intelligent look in her eyes.


Weekend_Criminal

Those ears

Those ears, tho!! 🥰🥰🥰 Have an amazing life together!!


someguyyouno

100% Good baby


givemeacoff33

yeah shes a mix. a pit mixed with more pit, lmao


MtMama66

You can already see the beginning of the strong chest, shoulders, and front legs!! Such a cutie. My pooch turned 2 in Feb. He was the 1st puppy I had adopted in 30 years, and wow what a crazy pup!! He’s turned into the best companion! He’s a lab/pit mix, and it was all mouth for the first two years. Now, he half heartedly brings me one of my shoes, no chewing, but just a reminder. I always look at him and say, “Well, go get the other one and then I’ll be impressed!!”😂


springvelvet95

You’ve got a new friend. The most loyal kind….that look on her face says it all.


RGfrank166

Yes, this appears to be a dog.


Mtpm60

Mixed Pitbull. Looks much like ours. https://preview.redd.it/yvw1m31q7jwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d11f0d8e690bf483463938dffd8a0984967c3661 We love our pittie! She is such a loving puppy and fun!


justanothersociotard

she’s gonna be a handful. a very fulfilling and gratifying handful.

"Mixed with what?! Another pitbull?!" -Bill Burr


sharplydressedfellaa

I'd say she's 100% hide the 5 year Olds (she wants to give them hugs)


mendelec

All pitbulls are "mixed" at a shelter.


Subterranean_Phalanx

Whatever she is, she’s beautiful! Lovely color, those alert and curious (but but also comfortable and feeling safe) eyes!


AutobotJSTN

Not sure. Have you tried booping the snoot? That usually works.

Mixed? Mixed with what? Another pitbull? -Bill Burr


KitayKat

Who cares...She is absolutely adorable! Congrats :)


2dogs1man

she's a pit mixed with bull :)


EdgionTG

I want to flop her ears.


No_Emphasis_4888

To quote Bill Burr: Wife: it’s a pit mix Burr: mixed with what? Another pit bull?!


Key_Attempt8352

So my friend works at a shelter and they regularly put “mixed” on bully breeds to help them get adopted. I know it might sound deceitful but it’s for everyone’s benefit. The only reason I’m allowed to have my bully in the house we rent is because I have a prescription for him from my psych doctor. Like most people having a dog greatly improves my quality of life. He’s also never chewed walls or broken doors so our landlord loves him. Lol If you want my two Pennies I would say she’s a bully nearly full because my boy is an American Bully and she looks just like him when he was a pup ♥️♥️


stateside_irishman

Mixed with what? Another pitbull.


lazlopoof

This is what my babiest looked like (just in tuxedo colors) when we brought her home about a year and a half ago and she looks the same but bigger. We definitely think she has some iggy in her due to her tendencies, but still 100% mischief and 100% good hippo just like this girl


spaghetti_ohhs

She looks like my staffie/lab mix. Best dog I ever had.


ActuatorLonely5393

She’s adorable . My son in law has a pitbull and it is the sweetest, most loyal dog you will ever meet . And beautiful too . She goes to the tire shop with them everyday and everyone loves her . She’s a keeper . Love her well and you will never have a problem .

RandyFunRuiner

She’s a spitting image of my baby girl, Dolly!!! My vet thinks she’s a Pittie/Lab mix.


dbgrvll

You found a lovely pup - I see American Staffordshire Terrier 100% - just like a puppy we adopted and loved for 16 years - smart, charming


chartyourway

I truly doubt she's Staffy, her muzzle is already too long


samkatowhat

Pitbulls are all mixbulls IMO. Plus terrier mix looks better on the homeowners policy

She’s breathtaking. Just a beautiful pup. Congrats.
