I halfway rescued this dog, can these 2 behavioral issues be fixed?LONG story w/ pics
Ok this whole thing ties into when I thought Muggleston pits were good breeders and that lady that lives in this town. She has 26 Ambullies/some APBTs that are way overbred, she has a litter every month, but watch out, if you go to ......................now they have them on sale until the 16th of September for $850, its the puppy blowout!!!
It was odd that I received a call about this dog the other day because I have been working with the IRS against her for tax fraud (they do not work and are using the dogs as income, and here (not sure about everywhere) you have to report anything over $400) she is probably upwards to $9k+ per month or every other depending on what litters she has. Yea I check the site periodically.
So about this dog. There are these people next to my sister, I call the woman an animal hoarder because she always had a ton of dogs and always had AC there because they tied them up 24/7 barking all the time. So my sister calls, she said well Blake broke up with his wife. But he came home with a dog, can you come over and see if you will take it? It was from a drug raid (he works for the leesburg police department) but apparently he was trying to find it a home, I say sure I will come over, so a few days ago, I did. He had been there for about an hour or two barking up a storm tied outside with no food or water in a VERY populated neighborhood flooded with kids.
Now I know if I didn't know about the breed I would be pretty damn uncomfortable with a Pit Bull staring at me barking while walking with my kids, so I go over, this dog has tail in between legs, ears pinned back, no growling, but looked pretty intimidating. I go up to him, he sniffs my hand and then licks it. I say ok maybe this is a new surrounding, we play for a bit and I go home. So 2 nights ago I go back, leash time, he did PERFECT. I put him back to come home and talk to Ryan and he started whining while I walked away. I said NO, and he sat, I turn around to go and he does it again, I say NO this time he sits and tries to give paw. One last time and a NO to follow, he sits, paws, and lays, then silence.
Ryan says ok. I bring him home, he would NOT stop barking in my yard. I live in a neighborhood with all old people and I am not one to tie dogs outside, but I was going to Petsmart to go look at kennels and Ryan was outside working on his truck so I tied him out thinking he will stop. Well, while I was gone, Ryan noticed the lady in the house behind us on her deck with binoculars looking into our yard
And we did not want her to call AC so Ryan took him inside. He said he had smelled every single place our dogs peed as pups and went crazy peeing all over everything including our couch
Obviously marking his territory, would having him neutered help this at all?
So I called Blake, I said Blake, its 9pm, I didn't get a kennel yet, and I cannot keep him outside because I feel its not right to let him bark all night, so I brought him back for the night. He said please take him, please come back tomorrow and get him. I told him I would think it over and call him sometime this evening. He said he is a pup so he will outgrow it. I was like how do you know how old he is? He said the papers, I said what papers? He said ohhhh I didnt tell you?
I heard the wrong story, (you know neighborhood rumors)
Apparently, there is a shitty apartment complex by Blake's police station, and some boy at 11pm one night said look, this dog is my baby, someone ratted me out for having him and the landlord said if he is not gone by midnight, I am kicked out. So Blake says he will take him and find him a home. The boy said he would be right back and then he came back and said where do you live? Blake said Martinsburg Wv why? He said ohhhhh I got my dog there, and as Blake explained that to me I was like oh crap, not from this lady. Blake said yea it says ...................as the owner.
So yea, he got a pup from this loser. I said what if she finds out? He said nothing the dog was given to you by the police dept she cannot get it back. Is this true guys?
So my questions are, can the dog be de-registered out of her name so she cannot take him back? How can I train him not to mark his territory(I've never had an older pup before) and how can I correct the barking in the yard behavior?
He listens VERY well, and after I had them both on long leashes meeting each other I let her off and tied him down and she LOVES him, I cannot believe how much energy she has, she has TOO much with new dogs, not very safe for her she likes to jump in their faces, and he was just so chill and listens SO well.
We really want to have him, my husband was walking him when I got back last night and I was like awwww
Without further ado, here are pictures.
Oh yea, and his name is Dae dae, I think thats pretty lame though lol. At least he is not like some of the nasty looking dogs she breeds, I think he is very pretty
The initial sniff, of course she lays right down, what a hooch!
He does have very nice muscle tone, very workable
He slid Destiny across the yard on her back here

Didn't let Tyson around him because one, he is waaaay too small, and two, he hasn't had his last shot yet, so he was inside all alone
Could his blue eyes be a result of inbreeding? Or just a genetic fault? I cannot believe how much bigger he is than Destiny, difference between an ambully and apbt for sure, although he doesn't look too bad, maybe american bulldogish? Who knows, but he is 9 months and she is 1 year tomorrow
Enjoy and thanks in advance for your opinions
