Default Re: Genetics or upbringing or ??

I have a Pitbull or as some people around here call them Petbulls I first met My dogs mother and father and they were very sweet and non aggresive dogs, and when I heard they had a litter, I went to see the pups, and My pup stood out from all of the rest, and he came over to Me and I knew I had to have him.

His father liked to bolt and run, and got lost.
My dog seems to have inhereted that characteristic as he has bolted and ran more times than I can count, I was able to chase him down most times, a few times he came back on his own, one time animal control found him and I got him back from the pound, and another time a fellow dog owner found him wandering around, looked up his licence on the internet and called my cell phone and drove him back to Me.

I think all dogs inherit behavioral traits, My dog has always been in a loving enviornment and is not hostile, and like to play with all dogs large and small, and only twice has he gotten in a confrontation when another dog tried to bite him, and My dog let Me pull him off and carry him away from the confrontation.

My dog is very strong and likes to run ans can jump very high, he really likes it when I tell him to jump over something and it is pretty impressive to see him jump on top of My minivan and other stuff.

I really like pitbulls and feel that they have an undeserved reputation, I have met many pitbulls and all of them were very affectionate towards Me, it is now My favorite breed of all with the exception of yellow labs.
