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.

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. |

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. |
