Explain why this breed was good/not good with your kids:
I rescued my pit bull, she was badly abused and mis treated. What ever you hear about this breed; ignore it! This breed is a great family dog, they are protective of your family, they have a high pain tolerance (Which comes in handy when you have toddlers running around wanting to bite, grab, twist, and pull averything they can get there little hands on.) This is not an evil breed, This breed will treat you with the same love and affection that they recieve. I couldn't imagine having any other canine has a family pet.

Special grooming needs:
Very short coat, to clean just wipe off with damp towel, bath only when needed.

Just normal walks, I run both my dogs about 2 miles every morning, but that is not necessary. No matter what the breed walks are very important, at least take them for 2 15min walks a day.

I love this breed, I hate hearing the bad things that people and the news say, most of the time they are not even talking about this breed but the word PIT-BULL gets more attention. If you have any questions or concerns I will be more than happy to talk with you, Just e-mail me.
