| Question from Kareem | March 1, 2010, 6:09 pm 173.70.159.88 | Question: how did dixie die
Answer: We live on a farm out in the middle of no where and one night she went hunting rabbits with my Bassett Hound, and they got up by the road. They were together, and the girl who hit her said she was going to fast to slow down and though she saw them both, one on one side of the road and one on the other, she decided not to hit Toby. She never stopped to tell me, her cousin told my husband several months later. We use to let the dogs just run free on the farm but since Dixie, I have fenced about four acres around my yard for them to chase each other, it was my fault, for not keeping her up while I was gone. The pain of loosing Dixie, has taught me a great leason, I am just sorry I didn't learn it sooner.

| Question from Sherri | February 22, 2010, 7:12 pm 98.207.59.221 | Question: Hello,
I live in Fremont, CA and have a three-year old APBT whom we adopted in Dec 2009. She's just recovered from her spay surgery and I'm looking for a male friend for her. Do you ever sell older males? If you do, please contact me - my e-mail is smillick@hotmail.com. Thank you.

Answer: Hi Sherri,
We seldom, have adult dogs to adopt out, because they are our babies. Have you thought of rescue groups. They make sure the dog will meet your needs and usually, they have a lot to choose from.

| Question from C Johnson | February 20, 2010, 7:44 am 75.66.234.100 | Question: I have a red nosed pit puppy, he's 5 months 2wks and weighs close to about 27lbs. he's gained roughly 4lbs a month. Is that normal? Is he too heavy for his height? He's not fat, just lean. And about how tall should i expect for him to get( on all fours )?
Answer: Well everyone has an opinion on weight and height so I am going to give you the height I go by and that is no taller than 21 inches at the withers or shoulders. A good weight is no more than 65 lbs, though my Samson, tends to average about 70 pounds because he lives in the house with me, and I spoil him. This is just my opinion and others may not agree with me.

| Question from Bryce Brown | February 18, 2010, 7:18 am 216.96.177.113 | Question: Hey I'd first off like to say you have a wonderful Kennel and your dogs are amazing. I'm looking into buying a Pup sometime soon. I also have a Red Nose male at home now almost 6 months. Would it be better for me to get a Male or Female? I tend to lean toward females
Answer: Hello Bryce,
I have known of people who raise females together and I have known of those who raise two males together, but not me. Samson and Ehud, got along till Samson, got jealous one day of Ehud, sitting in my lap. Sadie, gets along with Della, as long as there isn't any food involved. If you have a male, I would recommend a female, opposites seem to do better together, the males seem to tolerate a dominate female better than a dominate male. It just makes life easier and you can enjoy your dogs more. Bryce, thank you, for your kind words, we love our dogs.

| Question from lance | February 18, 2010, 4:56 am 121.1.54.211 | Question: how many times a week do i have to take my pup a bath?he's a 2months old pit...thank you for answering all of our questions..it helps us a lot about caring our pups..god bless
Answer: Hi Lance,
Well Lance, I don't bathe my dogs that much, unless they roll in cow mess. You see the oils in the dogs coat work best if the dog isn't shampooed that much. I do give my dogs that stay in the house a bath at least once a year. Pits have short coats so they are pretty good at staying clean. We showed Samson at a UKC show and didn't groom him at all do to time restrictions, Samson's coat looked shinny, but if you pet his coat your hand would be brown from the dirt. Samson, beat out a dog that was going for his Grand Championship. Johnny, thinks that story is funny, and wanted me to share it with you.
I hope this helped and Lance, God bless you too.
