I have been looking for a dog that barks, Guard dog acually well I had posted on petfinder.com and have gotten a few e-mails about dogs.
One is about 2 pits a male & female She is spayed he is not. This lady is willing to fly them here from Ny to Montana. She says they are good with Kids and house trained, I'm just not sure I want 2 pits.
any thoughts?

Are the pitts puppies or grown up dogs? The reason I ask is because I'm having my fair share of pitt bull experiences as of late. If you get a pup, you can teach it to behave according to the way they should behave and they are naturally protective at about 6 months of age. I have 2 of my own, a 6 month old, and a 7 week old. I also have 4 rescues, all different ages with different histories. Pitt bulls themselves are not to be feared in my opinion---it's the way the person raised them. If they raised them to be aggressive, then they surely will be hard to control. If you have the patience, I would suggest getting a just weaned pup. The ones I've been around are very smart and very lovable and sweet. I do have a full grown rescued Pitt female named Snowball who is as sweet as a puppy as well and her history is debateable. She had to be operated on twice when I rescued her, so that gives you an idea of what she may have been through. Both of my babies (my pitts) are housetrained and were easy to teach, but that might be because I got them both very young. I got the first one and she was just about 6 months old when I got the second one and he was only 6 weeks old. Funny, they get along fine and I think he is smarter because of her. He is potty trained a week later and knows how to go in and out of the doggie door all by himself and this little guy had never been inside a house before. I think it's easier to get one at a time, though and then get another as a playmate. That's just what works for me.
I hope this helps.

Well, i think I may have heard something to the effect that pitt bulls may become banned from New York. I'm not positive, but I think that was what I heard. Don't hold me to that, okay.
Did the lady give you a reason that she no longer wanted the pitt bulls?
Personally, I would ask lots of questions and ask for pics via email. Too many questions is better than not enough questions and if she's being honest, she'll have no problem answering any of them pertaining to the doggies. You can look at the pictures and the answers she sends and then go with your "gut feeling" on this.
I will tell you this---they demand a lot of attention. They are just like kids and need human company and most of them don't like being left alone. They can get sad very easily. These dogs are very sensitive and a lot of people don't know that. Some of them can be quite clumsy as well.
One question you need to ask is "do they get along with other dogs?" It's important because if not, it could cause problems later on. If they don't like other dogs, they might end up killing them. If the dogs have been raised like mine, and they adore other dogs and have no idea that they are really pitt bulls, then I see no problem.
If you decide you want them for sure, I suggest talking to the lady on the phone before finalizing the deal. I hope this can help you in some way. Don't hesitate to ask her anything you are not 100% sure of on the dogs. I do animal rescue and am very cautious when I want to adopt out a pitt bull. So many people do abuse this breed and use them for fighting, etc.
One more thing, I also suggest you get the male dog neutered, keeps him from straying...grin..
I don't want you to think I'm an expert or anything and I by no means am, we just seem to rescue a lot of pitts in our area and I have done a bit of research and talked to several breeders and pitt owners, and then of course, the ones I have here. Maybe a tidbit of my input will be of some use to you or anyone else thinking of adopting a pitt.
