Our Pet Pit family is a busy one! Full of kids, grandkids, dogs, & cats - - - throw in a talkin' cockatoo named Dayzee, orange wing amazon named Wilbur, a maroon belly conure named Lil One, and you have the total zoo that is our home. *grin*
Even though we are NOT breeders, we are very committed to helping the American Pit Bull Terrier breed. Unfortunately many out there suffer from a sometimes-terminal case of what I call "pit bull paranoia" and misalign, slam, bad-mouth the "pit bull" without even ever having personal knowledge or even any interaction with any of them. For these uninformed people, I feel a sadness - to slam and attack innocent dogs all out of one's unwarranted fears. What a shame they favor continuing the hearsay, and/or verbally abusive slamming, rather than finding the truth for themselves.
All of ours have fantastic temperaments, and most of them come from the same bloodlines!! All of them live in our home with us, just like the family dog(s) . . . but as responsibile multiple dog owners, we NEVER leave our dogs together alone - unsupervised. Why ask for trouble? After all . . . dogs are dogs . . . regardless of breed!

Compared to the others, Miss Bailey's our little "China Doggie". Nicknamed for her more feminine build & fragile feelings. Her sensitivity made her my wonderfully reliable service dog for the past 6 years, during which time we earned one leg towards her CD obedience title. Unfortunately declining health issues have forced my beautiful girl into an early retirement at the age of nine years old. She now spends her time lounging around the house waiting for "mom and dad" to come home. Miss Bailey is a tremendous asset to the PetPit family, and helped give me the independence back that I lost after my debilitating accident.

Meet Tyra! She came to us from my good friend Dina of WestWinds Kennels! Tyra makes a great addition to the PetPit family! Doug & Tyra have graduated basic obedience classes, and hope to continue on with Beyond Basic classes later in the Summer of 2009. With dad (Doug) deploying with his job, they get lots of breaks in training! They're both hoping to start up with weightpull soon too . . . SO . . . watch for them in the weight pull barn as she attempts to earn her UWP!!

Meet "Koda", or "Miters" as he's known in the weight pull barn!! Koda came to us from Miakoda Kennels in Michigan. He's an offspring of a fantastic breeding between GRCH WestWinds National Legacy and Int'l Ch Nat'l Ch FO UWP UACH UCD GR CH 'PR' Marauders Klickitat of Vintage DNA-VIP TT CGC TDI. Koda Miters has quite efficiently stepped into the pawprints of recently retired Miss Bailey as my service dog! Miters secured the #7 spot in the UKC top 25 Weight Pull Allstars in 2007, and finished his conformation grand championship on September 27, 2008, under Honorable Judge Warren Shivers!! Because of an injury, Miters took a bit of a vacation, and after healing up rather nicely, he came out to get the last 5 rail points he needed for his last pull title - his UWPCHS (United Weight Pull Champion Supreme)! Being pretty much "officially retired from pulling, we sometimes come out just to pull for fun!!

Dayzee, a Lesser Sulphur Crested Cockatoo who calls herself "Dayzee bee-bee-bee", definitely adds to the comical charm of the PetPit house! A spunky little gal, full of personality, Dayzee's really quite the "momma's girl", who's slowly learning to trust dad too! She loves to spend time out on her perch, but is quick to squaller if I leave the room. And if I'm gone too long? She'll come a looking for me! *grin* Not quite a year old, we look forward to sharing the rest of our lives with this sweet girl. | ||||
