New! Introducing myself and Hercules

[RIPZeus]

Hey all!

I'm happy I found this forum : ). My name's Megan and my baby is 8 month old Hercules, registered APBT but with AM Bully Ped.

I'll rewind to the dog that made me fall in love with Pits. His name was Zeus, and I rescued him about a year ago (his picture is last). I have never had such an amazing connection with a dog before. Long story short, he was hit by a car and couldn't pull through. It was probably the worst heartbreak of my life, but thanks to him I now have a lifelong passion for the breed, and he'll always be remembered.

Enough of the sad stuff though...I purchased Hercules as a pup from a reputable breeder because none of the dogs in nearby shelters were permitted to be around other dogs. Not one : (. I still feel kind of guilty for it, but my boyfriend has a female APBT and I knew neither one of us had the time needed to safely acclimate her to a dog-aggressive rescue. I still volunteer at the shelter weekly and hope to someday adopt again. Anyway, I'm currently training Hercules to shed (antler) hunt and agility.









RIP Zeus

welcome to GP

what do you mean hes an apbt woth an am bully ped??? doesnt that make him an am bully??? just fyi dogs purchased from breeders are just as likely to be DA than shelter dogs are

So sorry to hear about Zeus and him being hit by a car. That would have been a hard experience to overcome. I am glad that you decided to adopt another one though. He is priceless.

[RIPZeus]

@circlem, he's registered APBT but has an AM Bully ped, like most AM Bullies. The reason I chose not to adopt again was because all the Pits in the shelter already had a history of DA...although any bully breed has the potential to be DA, I felt it would be less risky to introduce a pup to our other Pit instead of one who was already DA. I would have loved to adopt again but am not in the position to be able to crate and rotate, it would be irresponsible of me.

Great looking pup! I love those ears! All three of mine have natural ears, their ears are so expressive!
