Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hank is a gorgeous Brown/Tan and white Pitbull (American Stafforshire type - Short blockly), he has uncropped ears and undocked tail. This boy is what a pitbull should be, well except maybe his male dog aggression.. But we'll get to that. He stands about 18 inches at the top of the shoulder, weights about 52lbs, and is roughly 3 years old. He's great with kids. Low drive. Likes the springpole but isn't obsessive. Likes to play ball, but he'll tire before you will. Has no food, treat, or toy aggression. I can't say enough good things about this boy. I'd call him bombproof but he does have a couple quirks.
First off and on the top of the list. He is Male Dog Aggressive. He will play with and has no problems with a smaller submissive male dog (as long as they ALWAYS SUBMIT to him). But he won't stand for a larger male, doesn't matter if they submit or not. He has the nepolian complex. He still counter surfs from time to time, still working on that one. He can get mouthy when he's playing. NO! works great with this guy. He loves to lick, some people like this, I DO NOT! He will steal your childs stuffies/barbies/blankeys if left unattended and shread them. He's a digger!
His perfect home would be one with a 6ft fence reenforced at the bottom. Older children 8+, he can go to approved homes with younger children but they must be pitbull savey. NO MALE DOGS, NO CATS and NO LIVESTOCK! This guy would love another female (female will have to be approved) friend to play with, he LOVES to play. But if you can give him all your time and energy he'd love to be an only dog as well. I'd love for him to stay local, but all locations will be considered.
Hank is currently located in Sierra Vista, Arizona but can be transported.
