Hey!
So I'm about to adopt a 7 month rescue pit bull/weimaraner and have a couple concerns. I've been doing my research about this breed and there's so many contradictions and hot and cold which I'm sure everybody's aware. My boyfriend grew up with big dogs (weimaraners and vizslas-very high energy dogs) and my brother and close friend has a pit bull. My concern and the kicker is I have 2 cats. If you have any cats with your dogs what is your experience. Also being that the pup is 7 months old will it be harder to train and break bad habits? I am told he is crate/ house trained and obedient but you never know what you can be handed with rescues. Also what are some signs that the dog is aggressive and what's the best way to correct it without making the problem worse. Any feedback would greatly be appreciated. I'm trying to gain more confidence in this breed from people that actually have the experience and not uneducated people that read bad stories and being my first pit bull experience, just very curious on how to take the right approach.
