thanks.

there are a few cities/counties in the US that have bans. some of them also ban all bully-type dogs, including American Bulldogs, so i'm already not allowed to move there. dumbass politicians and their misguided beliefs.

as for guarding the house, that's what my firearms are for. in any case, my AB does a pretty good job at that already. if anyone comes walking down the drive, he goes nuts. it's pretty funny - people are terrified of him, but if i welcome them into the house, he's suddenly a 90 lb lap dog.

cute pup, Kane.

Vick's Pits helped a lot of people see that these are just dogs like any other. I've personally rehabilitated a VERY animal aggressive dog (Mastiff/Boxer), its not easy and takes dedication...but it can certainly be done.

Kane, what do mean by 'exotic' diet?
They rightfully won't let him adopt vicious animals because he plans on feeding them RAW MEAT (probably throws some gun powder in there too) and baby feet. Plus he most likely goes down there high!
