EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Just got two new catch dogs.  Two females 3/4 pitt and 1/4 bull mastiff abt 14 weeks old. These are my first pitts to own and I am unfamiliar with a pitts temperament. (We have labs, lacys and setters)

These two dogs are very timid and like to hide or lay prostrate when I approach them. It is surprising because they were very bold when we went to pick them up.   I have had them for 5 days and they are warming up very slowly.  They haven't been abused or bullied by other dogs.  I haven't corrected them either, only petting, feeding etc.  Is this behavior standard for the breed?

Thanks in advance.

they are just nervous take them out on a walk and take some hot dogs with you and every once in a while slip them a piece and keep walking

Just love on them, they will come around.

pits are a good loyal dog, like they said just a lil nervous they will come around. Whered u find that cross iam lookin for a male like that.

Good, I was hoping that was the case, thanks.


Craigslist Austin - she had one male left Mastiff color with a light brindle underneath, pretty dog.  I bought my two for $75.  I bet she'd give the last one away.

x2 had a cross just like that was a good dog, good cross. ;)

I'm suppose to get a pup from a buddy thats 1/2 pit 1/2 mastiff, been wondering about the cross myself....I'm gonna try one, they sure should have some size to 'em.....

Heres mine,he was about 3-4 months old when i got him 1/2 pit 1/2 bullmastiff. The most loyal and courageous catchdog and family dog i have ever owned.

Heck man, that puppy picture of your dog looks 100 % identical to my 1/2 pit 1/2 have ab cross same exact color, head shape, white chest, and white paws.  Literally identical she is also turning into a good loyal companion and house dog I'm hoping her head will be comparable in size to your dogs now but as far as weight I'm betting she won't pass 65 pounds.  Good looking dog

Here's a pic of my two at 15 weeks.  This is Sally and Sue.

Identical dogs, a nice matched pair.  They should be fun to hunt together.
