Went to the Humane society and got something new

Dude that dog wasnt just playing around. It has serious issues.

Hope you heal up there.

Ouch! Id a smacked that thing across the room and followed up with a good football punt!

I dont think rough playin causes the dog to bite. Ive got a pit and he loves to wrestle around, but would never ever intentionally nip me. On occasion, hell nick a finger if im playing tug with him and he goes for a better grip, but all I gotta say is ouch and he will stop. What happened to you is just the result of an A-hole dog. Just like humans, some are touch holes, unfortunately its harder to put down humans. Thank god for you and your family, (especially your son) that it happened there and not in your house.

^ Yes MANY humans should merely be put down

Glad you'll be AOK, I hope it doesn't scar up too bad, you may be ugly as hell even without the slice in your lip

[86trizinger]

A scar will distract from the rest of the face.. so that could be a good thing.. But it looks like it closed up quite well.. Should be only a very small scar at the most.

[harryredtrike]

sorry about the bite,you gonna get it anyway?

[86trizinger]

umm.. NO.. I have a very small year old that is more important then a dog.

The dog isn't being put to sleep though, I wanted to make sure of that.. It is going home with someone that works there once it stays isolated for 10 days.

Wow that sure does suck, I know what it feels like. I bit a hole through my lip, and my tongue in half, you really dont feel it until a couple days after. The needles hurt the worst IMO. But 2 days after biting your tongue in half is the worst pain I ever felt especially trying to eat thats for sure.

i would steer clear of dogs that bite you within the first 10 minutes. our family tried to adopt a jack russel cross, it seemed like a nice dog a the shelter, but it was in a nervous playful state. after about a week at the house it was growling and at about a month it was biting. had to take it back where it was put down. it was definitly abused

[86trizinger]

We actually got ahold of our normal dog breeder.. She reserved one of her puppies due in March.. So in May we will travel to South Carolina to pick her up.

I'm done with trying to find one at a shelter now.

[jeffatc250r]

What kinda pup you got on reserve?

[86trizinger]

Another American Staffordshire Terrier.. Van Gunn Amstaffs in South Carolina Here is a link to her site.

I think the mother and father of the litter is posted.. Very proven health records for her line, plus show quality.. we only want a pet for a companion for our other dog since he is turning 8 this year. Its kind of funny we are picking the pup up right around his birthday.. so Its kind of like a birthday present to him.

One time he took a nip at me and got one of my nipples with those little needle sharp puppy teeth! It hurt but nothing like your mouth probably does.

I am sorry but that comment was just to funny for me..

[TrailerRider]

oh and I am a huge bull fan and have a bull and grew up with them, but if it nipped you during the checkout phase, it needs to be put down. What if it would have not done anything during the checkout phase and went home and used your chld as a chew toy. Not all bulls are good dogs for sure...

Ours came from a shelter and I knew he would be good with kids as the first night he layed down and my youngest son at the time was 3 or 4 layed down next to him ( i took notice and started watching very closely to monitor situation) and started touching his eye ball. Yes his eye ball. Zen (his name) layed there and took it unitll my son got bored. He tried one time to establish himself as master or pack leader so I got in his face and he has been cool with it ever since. Although one time he kinda nipped me when I was trying to clean his rear foot off from mudd. This was around the same time he was trying to be top dog. It didn't hurt but I had to show him I was boss man so gave him a quick punch to the head and we have been pals ever since. He meets me at the door and greet me when I come home for lunch. Hell we don't even use a leesh for him. When we go fishing hiking he runs ahead a little and stops and turns around and looks for us or comes running back if he don't see us. So gental with kids to the point when we play with his sock and the kids pick it up he will not even try to play with them with it. Best dog ever!! To bad this is not a dog thread or I would post picsof him.

To OP, post pics of your current pal.

[86trizinger]

I have to find the pics of him.. OR take new some new ones.
