My black lab pit mix wont eat unless he sees me either! I think its just nerves. They are nervous dogs and very very dependent on their owners.

We have a black lab/pitbull. He does not like children because one of our friends kids smacked him in the head with a 2-3 pound chunk of cement. A crumbled part of the portch.
We had him fixed, we are both crippled, and he takes his job serious. We do not allow children around, although he is gentle. We will not allow him the opportunity to be bad. He protects us, huge amounts of medicine in the house, and licks the side of out bodies that is disabled. I am proud of him, but I will not put him in a position where children are around unless they are able to handle his body-weight when wrestling. He is very smart, and he is are guardian. Very proud of this dog, and the pit-bull name is bad, the dog is only what the owner is.

I am very glad to hear your lab/pit is such a great worker and protector.My lab/pit (DOC) is a wonderful friend and also an asset because when I have to work late I know no one and I mean no one has the balls to cross his threshold which in my house where my wife is alone.If he hears something outside he will come and almost sit in my wifes lap and he weighs an easy one hundred.We love him so much but we’ve had to make him stop sleeping with us cause we don’t get much sleep.I wish someone would make this dog a type of breed so they could be avaliable to everyone.Good luck.

My lab pit mix Rufus is funny when it comes to eating sometimes. But let me be eating my own food and here he comes looking at me. I always share a small amount with him right out my hand. Best damn dog in the world.

I have a wonderful way to train a pit/lab to be a good dog. Lots of love and affection. I have a pit/lab mix that I rescued at 7 months. Upon his arrival into my home, he was a terror. I tried yelling, swatting him with a newspaper, etc to get him to stop going on the floor. I felt terrible doing this so I asked a dear friend how to handle this situation. She told me a big secret about these dogs. Talk to them sternly but softly when they do something you consider to be bad. They will respond more effectivly to your voice. If you yell, they retreat and become nervous. Well, as soon as I began to be in control and calmly speak to my puppy, he started to learn rapidly. By nine months he was fully trained and no longer tore up my favorite shoes. He is 4 years old today, and the best dog in the world. He is so good, that I seldom use a leash when we take walks together. He is so well behaved, even without any formal training. Duke is my first dog. After being a cat owner for 30 years, Duke was a handful. Today, I can say that I will never regret the rescue of my sweet little guy named Duke. They also love to be pet and praised frequently. A pit/lab makes for a great pet. Loyal, loving and generally great with people. My dog is also very friendly to cats. We like to call him CatDog. He seems to think he is a cat at times. I guess because he was raised in a home with 2 felines. Good luck to you and your pit lab/mix.

WE HAVE A TEN MONTH OLD LAB/PIT MIX NAMED HOOK. WHEN HE WAS FOUND HE HAD A GROUPER HOOK CAUGHT IN HIS JAW. POOR BABY. HE IS VERY SWEET AND IS LEARNING TO BEHAVE MUCH BETTER THAN MY FIVE YEAR OLD YELLOW LAB. RECENTLY IN OUR AREA A CHILD WAS KILLED BY THREE PIT BULLS WHO WERE PETS OF THE FAMILY. MY CONCERN IS THAT HOOK MIGHT BE AGGRESSIVE AND WE LIVE BY SCHOOLS AND HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD GRANDSON. MY QUESTION IS, I THINK, DOES THE MIX CHANGE THE AGGRESSIVENESS OF THE PITBULL BREED. I KNOW THAT THERE’S NO DEFINATE ANSWER BUT HEARING FROM SOME OTHER LAB/PIT PUPPIES. THANKS.

I too have a lab/pit bull mix. Willow is almost 5 months and is one of the smartest dogs I have ever had. She knows most all her commands. She is anxious when kenneled and drools like crazy. Thanks for the info on training. Willow does respond well, but at times I am frustrated, so I may get louder than I should. She is loving too which my cats don’t appreciate at all. She goes to Doggie Day Care for socialization with other dogs. Plays well with others. She is getting big. Anyone know how to break a dog from counter surfing in the kitchen?

My Lab/Pit Mokie looked exactly like that picture. She was a dumped off 6 month old that found her way to my house in the middle of a bad snow. She was a handful at first, but became friends with my black lab Bandit (RIP) instantly. She is the best dog I have ever had.

OMG that is so coincidental. I have the same exact story with my lab/pit Jackie. Below zero weather in mid January. Just sitting on my porch. Great dog, just gotta watch for the temper with other dogs. Still working on it.

What a cute dog! She looks a lot like mine. How old is she in these pics? I have what we think is a lab/pit also. The Humane society says that the people who dropped the litter off said that the mom was their black Lab. My puppy has the red nose pit color, but with the Lab head and body shape. He’s very handsome. Not as easy to train as the Lab we had before him, but he’s learning the ropes, slowly. Best wishes to you and Marcy! By the way, are you in Alabama? Marcy could be a relative of my boy.

She is about 18 months in the photos. We are in Vancouver, Washington but we adopted Marcy in Clearwater Florida before we moved here 6 years ago.
She now is a bit heavier.

Hi there! We rescued a black lab/pitbull mixed female dog and she was thrown out of a moving vehicle straight into my neighbors front yard right infront of our very eyes, she ran up to the porch where we were sitting, and I agreed to take her for the weekend until I could take her to the vet.. I have a jack russell terrior also named Max and he’s male, and they instantly became the best of buds, anyways, the issue we have with her is hopping fences. She will not stay in our yard for the life of her, however when she does hop the fence she won’t leave the area she’ll hop the fence into the neighbors yard and play with there male dogs.. how can I get her to stop doing this? We exercise both the dogs by walking them, and she won’t play fetch either.. she’ll chase the ball but won’t pick it up.. I need some help! When we walk her she is very calm and never pulls on the leash but she is a leaping kangaroo when it comes to our fence. Please help!

Wow, I rescued a Lab/Pit that had been thrown out of a car! there is something wrong with people seriously that do that! My puppy, Ripley was injured and taken to the animal hosp. they did the surgery on his hip, and fostered him till a friend heard of him and knew I had been looking for a Lab. I was thrilled to get him and love him to death! He is so smart, sweet and loyal! I hadn’t had a dog since I was very young, I am so glad for him, he is my best companion! ( : jackie

I know that this is a very old comment, but I have the exact same fence problem with my 3 year old black lab/pitbull mix! He was born to our black lab/rottie, and since the first day he’s been a trouble maker; before he could jump the fence he literally climbed right over it by hooking his paws in the links and wriggling over. His name is Uno (he was first born in the litter, I thought it was cute) and he loves to run off! Sometimes he’ll be gone for days, and he’s cost us several SPCA bills, even after getting fixed.
The good thing is, he’s virtually impossible to catch. The dog catcher shot him with a tranq once (he wasn’t hurting anyone, he just stole a lady’s picnic lunch…oops lol), and still Uno ran across a major highway with the dart in his butt, and no one could catch him. The dog catcher (our neighbor) came to our house and waited on Uno to come home before taking the dart out. The few times he’s been caught was because our other dog snuck off with him, and the dog catcher can catch her easily, so he grabs her and waits for Uno to double back to find her.
Anyway, I was wondering if you’d learned any tips for keeping those little demons in the yard? I’m going off to college in the fall, and my dad doesn’t want to keep Uno unless we can find a way to keep him in the yard. I don’t want him to give away my baby.

Our lab/pit rescue pup could climb any fence–she was a ninja.
The only way to handle it was to extend the height of the fence–three different times. Now it is too high even for her. But we take her out often, so she can run and hang out with us.

we have a year old black lab/pit mix named Simon. He is VERY hyper and constantly needs our attention. He listens well to all commands but when left by his self it seems that he disobeys everything he is taught. He seems to be a very nervous dog but is not aggressive at all. He loves to play but how do we get him to differenciate between his toys and things we dont want him to chew like shoes and etc. if you could give me any answers that would be a great help.
thank you,

Possibly you should get another dog to keep be a companion to her. I’ve always had to 2 dogs; you have to make sure they’ll get along well with each other. I’m thinking of getting another dog to be a companion for the one I have and it’s a black lab mix with pitbull. I’m leery of this though because of all the stories you hear re pitbulls. I was told that this dog is very friendly with children and dogs and is about 3 or 4 years old, the same as my dog who is a mix of beagle and foxhound; she is almost human. I have a 50×70 fenced in yard which is great for playing as I cannot do any walking. I called the people and told them no but I’m still give it some thought!

and whats worse is my fiance moved in with me and he instantly liked her but when we went to pick up her dog zues a few days later they act agressivly towards each other we tried all the tricks of introducing them the first time they met was around the block from my house so that they met on neuteral territory we’ve even tried walking them together regularly so now we have to switch them every hour in the cage zues is a pure bred american pit and perfectly behaved wit a flaw or 2 but no where as near as bad as loki since shes moved out to her brothers house with zues because she refuses to give up zues and i cant find an owner for loki and dont want to give him to the spca so if anyone has any tips on curbing these serious problems let me know because i dont want to get rid of loki hes been there for me for the past 2 years when i needed him the most and i dont want to lose the love of my life over a dog i dont know how to properly train thanks in advance

I just adopted a black lab pit mix yesterday from the APL. Her name is Maggie and she is about 2 years old. I’m having problems with her being aggressive towards my fiance’s dog. She is only aggressive when the dog gets in her face when eating or when someone is petting her and the dog comes over. She bit her snout twice. They play well together for the most part but my fiance is worried for his dog. Any advice?

I found my black lab/pit mix when she was six weeks old, abandoned and whining at a door in my neighborhood. She didn’t even have her fangs all the way in yet. I already had a small dog at home and they grew up together and ate together no problem, until Naga (my black lab/pit mix) got bigger than Azurl (my schnauzer/wire hair/whatever else mix). She started getting aggressive with the food, so I started putting the food bowl down and letting her start to eat, then taking it away. If she snarled at me or growled i would give her a gentle smack on the nose with a stern “no!” then put her food bowl back down, let Azurl eat, and hold her away from it and make her sit and watch for about thirty seconds. Took about three days to get her to stop nipping at her.

I have a 5 month old lab/pit mix who is very vocal if I pay any attention to the other 2 dogs. Rodney will come over, sit down and move my hand with his head and ‘talk’ until I pet him. It isn’t a growl or whine but a kind of ‘yar,yar,yar’ noise. Anyone else have a pit that’s vocal like this or is it just the puppy thing. I’ve never had pits but have had lots of other puppies who never did this vocalization for attention.

Hi Brandy: It is totally normal for male dogs to squat for the first year or two while they are puppies. They start to lift their leg as they grow. And may go back to squatting when they are elderly.

Hi i have a 15 week old what we think is a lab/pit mix. We rescued his this weekend from A place called Angoon here in Alaska. He wasleft outsdie for dead along with his 3 brothers and 1 sister. A friend of mine had them flow to my town and we took one. We named him Chevy. So far he is really mellow, great with my 4 year old, great with other dogs and just a loving happy dog. He is clingy to me and my fiancee he sits with but wont listen to commands from him. He is a little shy around people he doesnt know, but he is getting better already I think that will take some time as he was left outside alone for the first 15 weeks of life…with only his brothers and sisters. Some thing i need help with are…..eating, shyness, and training tips. He wont eat unless i am right there and he just macks it down then does somthing else. How can i get him to eat? The other thing is traning, him he is potty trained, knows his name and can sit along with sign language and ALMOST got him laying down….does anyone have any tips for training him more effectively and faster? I had 2 boxers before that were easy to train but they never stuck around, always ran off when not on a leash…one got hit and the other just collapsed and died on me
NO MORE BOXERS FOR ME! Anyway, he is a little stubborn when training…..Please email me with any help….otherwise he is the best dog I have ever had so far!!! I am very happy with him….he sticks around doesnt run off (so far fingers crossed). I would recommened this type of dog to anyway.
PS my 2 friends have the 3 others, one has the female and my other friend has the other 2 males and they are very satisfied with them as well. Great dog! People can be so CRUEL! Makes me sick! Anyway thanks in advance!

We just adopted a 4 month black lab/pit mix. We have a 3 yr old Black Lab & a total of 6 cats (3 inside & 3 outside). This little guy (Howie) is the most laid back easy going dog. Loves our black lab & all of the cats. Has shown no aggression towards animals or children. Hardly ever wines or barks. We have yet to put him in a kennel, he is the perfect dog. I think Pit’s have a bad rep, but it all depends on how you raise them! I would recommend getting one as a puppy & train them to be a good, nice, loving and affectionate dog! God Bless!

I have a black dog that I thought was black lab and pit mix. He looks like your dog. He is the best dog I have ever had. The only thing is that he is very protective over his food. He will not share with my other dogs. I have to feed him separate. We rescued from the aspca. Nobody wanted Magic. He was fostered by several different people. Everyone kept taking him back. We fell in love with him, but we know now why nobody wanted him. He pees a little when he is nervous. I’m not sure why. You have a very beautiful dog. Take care of her. God bless!

Hi all! I’m so glad I found this page! A few days ago my husband was working construction in a bad neighborhood and saw a man carrying and swinging a puppy by the scruff. Being an animal lover, he came out of the trailer he was flooring and started to watch the man since it didnt look like his intentions were good – and they weren’t. He threw the puppy down a 15 ft embankment of jagged rocks. My husband ran over, climbed down and rescued the screaming little fellow. Appears to be a black lab/pit mix, app 8 weeks old. He checks out okay, nothing broken – I don’t know how…and he is SMART….goes to the bathroom outside as long as you go out often with him which suits me fine since I just had surgery and need to walk a great deal. He uses the newspapers about 70% of the time if he’s in the house and can’t wait. Everything about him indicated he will be a great pet and we intend to keep him but he FREAKS out if you put him into the bathroom alone and tears up everything. From what I’ve read here, this doesnt seem unusual. He only lays down and sleeps well if he can sleep with one of us – otherwise the crying and destruction begins….so we just let him sleep in the bed.
It’s nice to know these are rather normal behaviors for the breed. Thank you guys for all of the posts on here – you’ve set my mind at ease!

Hey everyone, I hope some people are still checking this out because it sounds like you might be able to help me out.
I’m currently in the search for a dog, and I’ve always wanted a lab/pit mix. Today I came across a very quiet, reserved lab/pit in the local humane society. I was petting him, checking his teeth, and basically trying to “spot judge” his temperament, and he was very relaxed. According to their records he has been a resident since 8/12/10, and is obviously part pit bull (the short snout and pinned back ears), so that puts him at about four months (still in the puppy section of the shelter).
I found a worker and asked about his story, and apparently he is there with his sister. The only thing that caught me off guard is they call them their “UFC Fighters.” When they go out to play, they only bring those two out together without other puppies because they play a bit rougher due to their developed muscles and personalities. When we brought him of his cage (which he has to curl up to fit in…) out to play he was spastic.
If I do decide to get him, should I be worried about his “rough” playing nature and energy level? Is it too late to socialize him to be the gentle, sweet cutie that ya’ll talk about being around your small children and the like?

Hi, I am a previous owner of a lab/pit and man was he a beauty. This boy (because he was far from a dog) had the mind of a human. He was given to my by a friend who was unable to keep him due to their environment and the day I saw him it was like we were brothers. After he calm down from the departure of his original family, I released him from his leash and just walked. He stopped and starred of in the distance for a minute so I waited. When he decided to look bag in my direction I then kneeled down to one knee and called him by his name “Reese.” He slowly walked up to me and I pet him gently. I decided not to take him in my home right away (I think its best if you connect with the dog before having the dog connect with your home). So we ventured around my neighborhood with him leashless and surprisingly he stayed close by my side and not once did he venture off. When I brought him home he was so afraid of my Rott that he would not leave my room. For weeks he and I stayed tighter than a nut and a bolt, where ever I went no matter what time I left he was right by my side. He was very friendly with people (unless I was sitting down out doors and they walked up without my knowledge and even then he would get close up on me and bark loudly but without attacking). His first time lashing out at someone in a full barking brawl was with my mother (who for some reason was always overly cautious in his presence). Her slow movement and sneaky action caused him to be this way for about a month. After that he started sleeping in her room at the foot of her bed and when she woke up in the morning for work he would not let her out of his site for a second. lol Funny thing is she would have to wake me up in the morning to retrieve him from her room so that she could get dressed and even then the moment she opened her door he was there waiting. Here suspicion never officially died. She feared that the agression of a pitbull would come about through him and that he would target the kids. I could not believe this because of my connection with him and due to the fact he was so protective of the kids and really gentle with them. Nevertheless, she forced me to admitt him to a SPCA. I can say that was the saddest day of my life, as a young boy who felt mentally, spiritually and emotionally abandoned by his family, to have his one and only true brother taken away was a hard day for me. I am trying to look into an updated system to find out where and how he is. He was such a great friend and a fast learner, there is nothing more a man can ask for in a best friend. If anyone wants to see a picture of my beloved buddy email me @ [email protected]

He was given to my by a friend who was unable to keep him due to their environment and the day I saw him it was like we were brothers. After he calm down from the departure of his original family, I released him from his leash and just walked. He stopped and starred of in the distance for a minute so I waited. When he decided to look bag in my direction I then kneeled down to one knee and called him by his name “Reese.” He slowly walked up to me and I pet him gently. I decided not to take him in my home right away (I think its best if you connect with the dog before having the dog connect with your home). So we ventured around my neighborhood with him leashless and surprisingly he stayed close by my side and not once did he venture off. When I brought him home he was so afraid of my Rott that he would not leave my room. For weeks he and I stayed tighter than a nut and a bolt, where ever I went no matter what time I left he was right by my side. He was very friendly with people (unless I was sitting down out doors and they walked up without my knowledge and even then he would get close up on me and bark loudly but without attacking). His first time lashing out at someone in a full barking brawl was with my mother (who for some reason was always overly cautious in his presence). Her slow movement and sneaky action caused him to be this way for about a month. After that he started sleeping in her room at the foot of her bed and when she woke up in the morning for work he would not let her out of his site for a second. lol Funny thing is she would have to wake me up in the morning to retrieve him from her room so that she could get dressed and even then the moment she opened her door he was there waiting. Here suspicion never officially died. She feared that the agression of a pitbull would come about through him and that he would target the kids. I could not believe this because of my connection with him and due to the fact he was so protective of the kids and really gentle with them. Nevertheless, she forced me to admitt him to a SPCA. I can say that was the saddest day of my life, as a young boy who felt mentally, spiritually and emotionally abandoned by his family, to have his one and only true brother taken away was a hard day for me. I am trying to look into an updated system to find out where and how he is. He was such a great friend and a fast learner, there is nothing more a man can ask for in a best friend. If anyone wants to see a picture of my beloved buddy email me @ [email protected]

I have a pit/lab. I rescued her from a couple that abused her badly. First 2 days I thought she was going to kill me in my sleep. She had been growling and baring teeth at me when I tried to pet her. For those 2 days I gave her treats and toys and fed her from the table and the third day she warmed up to me. Since then I made her a social dog and kept introducing her to other people with a muzzle and let other people pet her and love on her, and she has been very accepting to others. Now I can walk her without a muzzle and she is very good with people. She absolutly loves people and great with kids. She is a Damn good dog and i love her so much. Pits can be saved from any situation. I had 2 purebreds from a similar situation and they turned out fine. Any pitbull can be saved. I’ve did it twice.

Hi: Your dog is a bit young to understand the whole potty training process as yet. The ASPCA has very helpful articles on all kinds of training issues (including potty training and biting). Go to their website, I think you will find it very helpful.

We have a blonde lab/pit mix who is a great dog! We adopted him at 7 weeks old, he’s now 2 1/2. Very smart dog, but a slow processor….thinks about his commands for a few seconds, then happily obliges. Rough-houser, for sure, and our alpha female (a rat-terrier/boxer mix) keeps him in line. Glad to read here about other vocal pit mixes…mine talks all the time, sits by the bed and growls to wake me up, it’s hilarious. He is good, however he’s had LOTS of training because he would like to be in charge of everything, and we still put his training leash on and run through his commands for about 10 minutes several times each week. Very loyal and loving, a special dog.

We adopted our pitt/lab mix when she was 8wks old from the humane society. She is now almost 8mos. Her name is Maci. What a joy she has brought to our family. I have 2 kids, 9 & 11, and 2 cats, both almost 2ys. We keep her in a kennel when we are gone and at night to help with the potty training. My kids forgot to put her in her kennel and when we woke up in the morn there wasnt even an accident. Shes our first dog and best dog EVER. She is great with everyone…cats…dogs…people…you name it! Although she is very protective if she feels we are threatened. I will never get any other type of dog…WE LOVE YOU MACI!!!!

I am looking to get a lab pit mix. I have a 4 year old norwegian elkhound mix now his name is drake. Just looking for some insight how do these breeds do with other dogs. The puppy im looking at is a male also do you think that the having two males with this breed would be a problem or do they get along with other dogs well. Any insight would be appreciated thank you.

LOOKING FOR A GOOD HOME! I’ve been looking after a 2 year Black Lab\Pit for a woman that can no longer keep him. He is a complete sweetie and very devoted but I am moving and can no longer keep him either. If anyone in the Denver area is interested in adopting him permanently, please reply. We have two cats and a 12- year old and everyone gets along. He is completely house trained and way past the chewing phase although he will look for a sock or shoe to snitch now and again.
When that happens, it really means, “play with me!”
