Pitbulls

[Spicoli]

Feed mine Diamond Premium Maintenance. A good food and I have never had problem of any sort. It has a bit higher % of corn than I like, as corn is just a filler and can dry a coat out, but I've never run into that problem really and my dogs have excelled. Low stool volume as well which is nice. Also has a bit more by-product than I like but as I said I used mine for working/hunting dogs and they've always been very healthy. I've been feeding it for years and years. Stay away from Natural Choice dog food; runny stools and poor coats.



IAMS is good as is Science Diet.

I used to work in a pet store and Science Diet seemed to be heads and shoulders above the other commonly found brands.

i heard that makes them fat

R/D....Science diet is the shite but it has gotten boo-koo expensive,as has everything else.

Well Science Diet is good but they use, or used to use, corn filler as well, for 1/2 the price of Science Diet I could get just as good a food with some by-product in there. When I had a whole bunch of dogs it made a big difference. I will be changing though soon as I only have about 20 and they are all getting older, so I will go to a lower protein, minus the by product so it is easier on them. But I had one of my dogs pass a few months ago at the age of 15 1/2 so he did alright. But a high protein count in the food when a dog gets older will sometimes bust their kidneys up; to the point of smelling piss out of their mouths, so something to keep in mind as a dog gets older. Just my experience sometimes.

Ok, we are only talking about Pitbull breeds right? Cause I am. My pits father was 90 plus pounds and he is on Nutro as well. Im trying to get mine as big that is why I have him on Nutro.

What breed and how big is your dog?

What food is good for building your dogs size? Thats the food I want, any suggestion?

Well genetics from breeding will determine what size he has; feeding a dog bred from some of my stuff and you'd never get a 90 pound dog and if you did he'd be a fat pos. So if you're working with bloodlines that carry alot of different scatter bred dogs they will tend to be larger over time. Alot of my dogs are no more than 55 pounds and that's all I need. It's like feeding a horse jockey as much as you can and thinking he'll get big; won't happen except in the gut area. Genetics man.

Here's a pic of my Napolean dog. Actually it is my girlfriends baby and she feeds him dogfood, ice cream, cookies, spaghetti, etc. etc. Fat pos can't even turn over if he falls on his back. He's very overweight but still only 70 pounds; and should be low 50's at best.





Here's my boy Tombstone 4 years ago; never over 58 pounds and as well put together as a bulldog can be. He is right now 10 years old and 50-52.

Nice pit, the bottom pic looks like my first dog. My first dog's ears weren't cut as well. the one I have now has an appointment tuesday for his vaccination shots, I will speak to the vet about cutting his ears. His at the right age now for it too, his 8 weeks old and about 15 pounds.

Sorry; I misunderstood what you were trying to say. It's too complicated to say what "kind" of pit bulls I have as I breed pretty much one bloodline. Those giant dogs are so scatterbred they have no real firm family they are behind. I run the Mayday and Honeybunch/Jeep lines; gamebred lines; which run smaller. As far as the food just look for a brand that you like and it will most likely have a "Large Breed" bag; though I think that whole large breed thing is stupid and a $$$ scam. And what you feed him will be alright as you said you will supplement his diet anyways with red meat.

And my dogs ears aren't cut; I've never trimmed a dogs ears as I don't like the look and it will save you hassle from pit bull haters who think cropped ears mean you fight your dogs; trust me. Plus floppy ears are better Tombstones right ear got mangled by a big feral hog and looks like Sebastian Lujan's ear after MArgarito handled him

yea i know, thats why i ask what breed you guys have. Thats why I mention my dogs father. I know pitbulls come in all sizes now, I use to always want the smallest kind. the staffordshire bull terrier, my first dog was half that and half original mid size APBT. The one I have now, is the large size pits. Thats why I want to know about the food best for large breed dogs. Nutro is the only one I know about that i have been feeding him but lately i heard its not a good idea, Im not sure why. Anybody out there does?

Heres a pic of my pup.
