Sacr69 Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Hi All... Just thought i would share this with you guys, Well I have Spartan now for 2 months… I also have an American Pit bull Terrier called Storm For those that believe that these are vicious savage dogs… Think Again… Obviously at 1st Storm did not like the idea of another Pet being in the house… and naturally Spartan didn’t like Storm as to him Storm is a predator, So gradually as the day went on I slowly introduced the 2 for a few minutes a day (with Spartan being in his cage of course) Then I decided to leave the cage open and let Spartan out while Storm was around…(Supervised Of course) Storm showed interest but stopped her immediately… This again went on for a while… Then I decided to take Spartan outside with Storm on a Leash and allowed some distance between the 2. I then noticed that both where getting a little comfortable… This morning I got out the Shower… Spartan Flew into the hall way to see us and landed on the floor, Storm decides to inspect… Guess what! They both just stared at each other for a brief 2nd and Storm just walked away Spartan walked up the bed sat next to us and just chilled out while Storm was still around! Hard Work and Patience Pays Off At The End!!!!
Malikah Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Just don't ever let them get too close. If Spartan is anything like Kito, once he/she gets too comfortable Spartan will want to bite Storm and things could go very very badly in a split second.
Luvparrots Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Well done! But although my dog is a pug and 11 years old, I never trust my fids and pug to be alone. Congrats on your hard work!
judygram Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 I have to echo the other's comments for even though they may appear to get along well together never ever leave them out without supervision for it only takes a second for it to turn ugly but congrats on your success.
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Congrads! I believe birds and dogs CAN develop a relationship, that is trustworthy.My dogs and birds have loved and trusted each other, for past ten years. Dogs share their chicken, Birds share their peanuts. They have all worked it out I am no longer involved in their decision making. Nancy
Sacr69 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Posted February 3, 2012 Hi All, Thanks for the comments guys, I agree with all of you anything can happen in that split second how ever they will be supervised at all times,
munch Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 We have a pit also (pit-german shepard, the big puppy). Took (the CAG)'s first word was his name and she still calls him all the time (and tells him he'sa good boy. Then she calls herself a good boy, too). And no, we don't leave them alone together ever but well, here's our situation. Took loves him and we used hold her up to G's back and she will kiss him nicely...then suddenly bite. Our poor Big G will yelp and run away. We don't do that anymore. Poor G But Took still loves him and she chases him around the house. Poor G. He runs away and she runs after him. We're giving her consequences now for chasing G and she doesn't do it as often. But she does like to stand next him when he's around (He sits on the floor, she sits on couch right above him staring at him with affection.).
Greywings Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 A dear friend lost her bird of 35 years last week to a sudden unexpected bite from a small dog in her house. Strive to avoid any situation where the dogs drive can become engaged. Her bird climbed down on the floor and followed her, she did not see him do this and the dog walked up behind the bird and just bit once very quickly with no warning-heartbreak and self recrimination follow. Horrible traumatic scene to have to live with.
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I know what my dogs will do. Intensive training. Past 12 years, everyone gets along. Alot of work. Nancy
Sacr69 Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 Nice story Munch... Makes you wonder hey what really go's through an animals head... Greyowings thats sad... bottom line is these guys should not be unsupervised... but then again accidents do happen,
Thebirdistheword Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I also have pit bulls 4 of them and i just brought my cag home last night. So far so good but I dont let them get close to each other. They are gentle dogs but you never know. Good job watching carefully.
Sacr69 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Posted February 7, 2012 N the sad thing is that these dogs have such a bad rep, due to man... its sad, 4 Pittys Mmmmm that dont sound to bad, Thanks for you post,
