I adopted a full blooded APBT from the Humane society about a year and a half ago. It was the best decision our family ever made. She is a wonderful companion. We went with her to obedience classes in the first few months and watched a lot of Dog Whisperer. She is a good well-balanced dog, she's the perfect anti-depressant, its hard to feel sad when someone is so happy to see you come home from work.
