Pitbulls (They were the original nanny dog and trusted with kids - what happened?)

My son brought home a pitbull and I tried everything to get rid of that dog. I researched the internet and found disturbing stories about the breed and although I always loved dogs I didn't want a dog that could "snap" . I kept looking and reading and further discovered that pitbulls were the original nanny dog. They were nearly always left to watch over the kids and to keep the family safe. A popular tv show from years back, the little rascals, it is a pitbull riding around and hanging out with those kids in the show. Pitbulls were well known to be protectors of the family and the children were in good care when left to be watched by the pits.
I tried to get rid of the dog but my son wouldn't have it. Now the dog is almost 11 years old and he is the best dog I have ever owned. Smart, obedient, trustworthy and stable dog.  Great with the kids and always loved kids so much he would cry to get near a child.  Now there are grandkids around and when they stay over the pitbull guards them too, he chooses to sleep where they are and lays in the doorway so no one can harm those kids.
Pitbulls are wonderful dogs. I wasn't looking for this one when I got him and tried everything to get rid of him when he was but a few months old. So glad my son resisted, we've had quite a journey together and while I don't think I want another dog when I lose this one, if I did, it would be a pit.  People are the ones that make this strong dog bad. You don't need to encourage a pit to defend you, they will do it naturally. Encourage the kindness of the pits and give plenty of exercise to keep them lean and rid of the energy they have.  The only trouble the dog has had is they have lots of ear aches and ear yeast problems. over the years we've spent a ton to take care of the dogs ear infections and ear symptoms. He gets crackling ears, red ears, fluid ears...you can hear it sloshing around inside. Vets said the pits get lots of ear infections and not much we can do. I now use natural remedy for ear infection treatment and with regular use the dogs ears don't have all those problems anymore.
if you have a pitty pit with ear problems like mine did, use a natural remedy for fighting the bacteria and restore order in the dogs ears. many years of ear infections and my old dog can't hear anymore. don't let it happen to your dogs ears, it's terrible. If they always show signs of ear infections, use a regular dog ear treatment and keep dog ear yeast infections away.
we're using Dr Dogs Ear Oil, you can get it from Amazon.com or from http://www.drdogs247.com  probably other places too
Anyway, pits are so fantastic and I have had quite a few other breeds of which I was very fond of. Nothing like the relationship with this breed, they are something else.....steel and velvet, a beautiful strong muscular loyal friend for life. Never be mean when training, be kind always and socialize the dog well.
