Bully max provides the right nutrients for this breed, great pup you have there.
I noticed your confidence which is nice but please for cautious for the safety of your pup.
Pitbulls aren’t furry so baths would do.

Looking forward to updates from you(I’m a fan of Pitbulls)
I’m a fan of Hulk from dog dynasty grin
Yea thanks I’ve been feeding him Boneless chicken and goat meat also. Although I read regular baths aren’t good, but due to his Color(White) I bathe him twice a month, then use a wet Towel to mop him on some days to reduce stain. Was going to get Bullymax but due to the stay home order cos of COVID-19 that will have to wait till the order is lifted.
Yes Hulk is a Bully breed though, that dog is a beauty.
I’ll keep on posting updates. Thanks for the advice.

This is GSD Rot mixed. Selling for 70k
Lol if you get someone willing to pay anything more than 10k, be thankful.
Best bet is to enjoy the dog yourself or sell to someone who has no plan of being a breeder, a dog lover(Make sure you tell them its a mix)
Pets / Diary Of Lord Draco (an American Pitbull Terrier) by Demide007(m): 10:58am On Mar 29, 2020
Hey folks so recently I got my dog Lord Draco “Malfoy” Lee, a White Male American Pitbull Terrier a month back at 7weeks(he’s 11weeks now). I was an avid Harry Potter book series reader, so it’s only fair I was inspired to name my boy after one of the controversial characters in the franchise.

“Pitbulls are dangerous” “Pitbulls attack their owners” “Pitbulls can’t be tamed”, these are few amongst the fears people associate with owning a pitbull. Most of these folks have no idea pitbulls are a general name for a class of four dogs which originated from a mix of bulldogs, and the pitbull just like every other dog reacts/responds to whatever training was instilled to it from its young age. A Chihuahua and other toy dogs have tendencies to be unruly than a pitbull if not well trained, the only difference is they don’t have the agility and biteforce of bigger dogs.

It’s important to note that a Pitbull is not advisable for a first time dog owner or one who hasn’t trained dogs before as they are quite filled with energy and you have to be able to keep up with them or else you’ll be stuck with a stubborn dog that doesn’t listen to you and would eventually attack your acquaintances or neighbors and even you if care is not taken.

I personally had a Rottweiler when I was quite young but it died during the harmattan period then due to complications arising from sickness. I’ve also trained a Boerboel for my Uncle for 2years when he travelled out and needed a caretaker for it. A pedigree Boerboel is a beautiful and one of the best guard dogs to own presently.

My Uncle finally returned late last year and the Boerboel was returned to him and I was duly compensated. I then decided it was time to get a new dog for myself, so I was stuck with the decision of what breed to select and factors that’ll influence my final decision.

I am a very athletic person myself as I constantly take jogs and lift weights 4-5 times a week. I usually took my Uncle’s dog while jogging, but I can tell you from experience with my Uncle’s dog, that the Boerboel is not really cut out for long distance walks as they have a strong attachment to the Home, so after a while jogging/walking it stops or tries to turn around back home.

So I made research on dogs that were very active when it came to exercise or high pressure tasks and the APBT suited the kind of lifestyle I live best from the dogs I saw.

Anyways Draco is 11 weeks now and from week 8 I started socializing him with my acquaintances and my friends dogs. Despite him still being small it’s safe to say no dog can bully a pitbull, despite his age/size Draco holds his own against every other dog he’s met during their “rough plays”.

I also started teaching him basic instructions and monitored his potty training from week 9(Now he knows the right spot to poop and pee), I also have a spacious compound so I’ve started leash training him and taking him on walks in the vicinity and sometimes a community park in my area where I unleash him and let him run his heart out.

I’m still trying to work on the best feeding plan for him and if I should get Bullymax, although I’m not really after him getting extremely big, I’m more focused on his athleticism.

Thanks for reading up to this point, kindly correct in areas I might have lapsed and suggest measures I can take to ensure he grows to be a well groomed and obedient dog.
