We have a 4yr old pit/pointer and she eats canidae all breeds and she does well with that. We are strict with her diet and do not overfeed or give too many treats. However, she has had problems with her skin and give her vet medication for allergies,( apoquel) which works great.

I adopted a pointer/pit mix about 4 years ago. He was 4 years old at the time. We had another male pit and a female pit and he did try to “assert dominance” I guess you could say. When we brought him home, we let the dogs in the back yard to play and my pointer/pit and my male pit got into a fight. They had a few fights along the way as well, but now, after some getting used to it and being shown love he is a great dog. He does very well with our new puppy we adopted a few months ago too.

Initially, training him was just like bringing up a toddler. He had to be constantly watched because of his propensity to eat anything and get into mischief. From the beginning, I was determined to use gentle, rewards based training and corrrection to train him. The result after 4-1/2 years is a kind, calm, friendly boy who loves everyone and everything. He enjoys his occasional runs, but short walks every day or so are enough to keep him happy. Once a month he goes to doggy daycare just to play with other dogs. My greatest joy comes from knowing that he feels safe and secure in his home, and that translates into a confident, loving dog overall. My advice is to never aggressively correct a Pointer Pit, either verbally or physically; gentle correction goes a very long way, with fulfilling results. They are smart enough to quickly grasp what’s expected of them.

At the time, we were told she was likely a pointer/hound or pointer/lab mix. We love her all the same! However, we have a 3 year old golden in the house and will be trying for kids soon. So far, she has gotten along amazingly with the golden, she wants to follow him everywhere and cuddle with him

After finding out today her mix is 50% GSP, 28.3% American Pitbull Terrier, and 21.7% American Bully, I have started researching. Multiple sites indicate I should be worried about adding her to a multi-dog family or one without kids. What are other’s experiences here?

Especially my 6 year old lol he gets away with murder when it comes to Smoke lol I couldn’t ask for a better dog for my family. He’s the absolute best thing that’s happened for our family in a long time!! He brings so much joy and laughter.. he’s amazing!!!

I acquired a brown and white pointer pit and she was pregnant. Had her babies said and adopted had her said. Took 3 months to teach her not to dig out of our 2 acre yard. We have a Maine coon cat and they get along. She weighs 30 lbs. And is full of energy. 2 years old in May, love bug but has separation anxiety

We adopted out Pointer Pit 2 years ago, he was 10 months old, we have had dogs and a cat for the last 16 years, and every time one passed it just broke my heart, so after our cat passed, we said, no more! Our son has even had pet rats and I cried like a baby when one died and the other was put to sleep bcuz of tumors, but he talked us into getting another dog! He found Oreo at a shelter close by and asked to go look at it, we walked out with papers and where to pick him up when he was neutered and got all shots! Lasted year our son went off to college so we get to take care of him! They are the most craziest, funniest, smart, lovable and cutest dogs ever! But just like the article, they are very strong and very stubborn, have anxiety issues when we’re gone for a long time, chews/eats everything, but learn very quickly! Lol Anyway, we feed him Hill’s Brother Science Diet large breed adult.]]> In reply to Maryann Deegan.
