showing. I have little 12-pound mixed breed (mostly poodle) who clearly was treated poorly in his life before coming to his forever home with me. He has fear aggression with strangers, though after living with me it's dispelled quickly. A friend had the most wonderful male pit bull who used to come over and play with my female Westie! Man, they had a blast racing around together. He was always gentle as a lamb with her.

Well, we tried him out with my new male adoptee. We were careful -- they were separated by a fence and couldn't get to each other. Well, my little guy did his best to start a fight -- he was all full of snarls & growls, leaping at the fence and at Mikey.. Mikey the pit bull was having none of it -- he was all full of wags & sweetness. That wonderful dog didn't have an aggressive bone in his body. He, also, was adopted -- he showed up half starved at my friend's house when he was still a young dog. She nursed him back to health and he was an absolutely magnificent, loving dog for all of his life. Before getting my male, I babysat Mikey many times as my friend traveled a lot for work -- Mikey would come stay with us, curl up in bed with us, and have a wonderful time. I trusted him implicitly with both me and my little Westie, and with good reason -- he was a fabulous, gentle, intelligent dog.
