mumof4girls Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Sorry just checked you said in the other thread due in April. Oh ok, I didn't know you where expecting a baby in April....When are you thinking of getting the puppy? Might be a bit hard to take on caring for a newborn baby & a young puppy at the same time...I know I wouldn't be able to cope with that, but that's just me. +1 I have a teeny tiny puppy - no where near the energy levels of a gorgeous and crazy bull terrier puppy... and it can be tedious! I couldn't cope with a brand new baby AND a crazy puppy at the same time. Do you plan on sleeping at all? :) One of the girls I work with went to one of those puppy palace type pet stores (where you walk in and can pat the puppies in pens not behind glass. Came home with a huski and border collie. She went back the next week and came home with a lab, 3 very high energy pups at the same time. I just met up with my other friend who said she's now got dog number 4 and has just fallen pregnant. Crazy crazy girl. Shes only 24 as well. ... Wow. That's crazy!! Maybe she thinks they will keep each other company so less demanding Hahaha! Yeah right.. Edited January 15, 2012 by mumof4girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 boy you will have your hands full with your 8mth Amstaff, a new baby on the way plus another puppy good luck with it all Hi JLD, i did post in the Bully thread but not sure if you saw it. Please really think about this Bull Terriers are not easy pups to raise, hell mine isnt even an easy Adult to raise! I really think you need to have another think about this. There is no way i would get a second dog while the first is still a puppy, if it was me i would be training the pup and waiting until i had the baby and got into a routine before bringing in what can be a very full on demanding dog. good luck with whatever you pick.

Its funny Ive never had much to do with Bullies but we had 3 or 4 in over xmas and you are so right, I found them LOVELY but bloody stubborn and hard work so I would have to agree with what you have said, REALLY think about it!

Shazzapug Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 If the breeder that Jess is visiting has any brains she will tell them to come back in 12mths time...when bubby is bigger and they have a handle on the Amstaff. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And she owns her own place of course and isn't renting at all. (sarcasm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep in mind that many bull terrier people feel that are not dogs that really like to be in a two+ dog household. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Also, make sure the breeder knows about your amstaff, so they can match a pup to suit. Bare in mind bullies don't usaully start fights, but will finish one, so you need to get a good match for it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
