Ontario Pitbull Ban

From the online edition of Thunder Bay's Source:

The second phase of Ontario's ban on pitbulls took effect Nov. 28.
As of Tuesday, all newly born pitbull puppies must be shipped out of the province, given to a research facility, or killed.
The first part of the ban, which came into effect at the end of August, required all pitbulls to be leashed, muzzled and sterilized. The provincial government implemented the ban after a spate of vicious attacks by pitbulls on people and other dogs. Premier Dalton McGuinty says Ontario's pitbull ban is a ``matter of public safety.''
The law is facing a constitutional challenge led by famed defense lawyer Clayton Ruby, who has called the ban ``unconstitutionally vague'' and ``overly broad.''


Wow ~ that's serious ~ Read it online at http://www.tbsource.com/Localnews/index.asp?cid=78788

There is also an online petition against the ban at http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/pitbullban

It's unfortunate that the entire breed's reputation suffers because of the "bad apples". Not all pitbulls are monsters. I wouldn't have allowed our three pitbulls anywhere near my four children if they were.

Blue Pitbull Puppy Going to Guam


This blue pitbull puppy (female) is going to have a new home in Guam. We are in the process of obtaining the necessary paperwork to export her from Hawaii to Guam and hopefully, she'll be at her new home for the New Year! It's quite a chore to get everything organized and done during the specified time table that Guam and the airlines requires, but I think we're moving in the right direction.

Today, this blue pitbull puppy will be taken to the vet to get the required immunizations so that she can make the trip to her new home. Later this week we'll need to get her health certificate and make arrangements with the carrier. We've already gotten her kennel for the flight. I just hope she's not over the 20lb limit the airline places on pitbulls. If she is, we'll need to find other shipping arrangements. I don't think she's over 20 lbs, after all she's just 10 weeks, but she'll be almost 12 weeks by the time she flies. Hopefully everything works out okay.

Blue Pitbull questions

Many people ask us the following two questions:

1. What do you feed your dogs?

2. What kind of exercise program are your dogs on?

Now you won't have to ask ~ here are the answers.

1. Our dogs eat Nutro Natural Choice Large Breed Dog Food. They all ate Puppy food until a year of age. After that we switched them over to adult food. Angel, during lactation, ate puppy food twice a day. Our dogs have never been fed human table food at all. On occasion we'll treat them to some milk or an egg with their dog food.

2. Basically, all we do is take our dogs for walks. Other than that, all they do regularly is run around in the yard. We don't put them on a treadmill, train them with weights, or anything like that. Their physical conditions are primarily genetic. We just take them out on walks on a regular basis to give them the exercise and attention they need. Angel is the only one who ever went on regular runs. She loved to run and did so 3-4 times a week (about two miles a session) before she began breeding.
