Puppy Love Part 7: Gimme Some Sugar
This is Sugar, a 6 month old female Blue Colby Pit. She is exactly like her name and is the complete opposite of her littermate Zeus.
She loves people. She is completely calm and is affectionate towards other dogs.
Sugar’s owner was asked to take Zeus because Zeus’ owner couldn’t control him.
Sugar’s docile personality makes her the prime candidate for breeding. Breeding isn’t just about cosmetics. Temperment is an extremely important characteristic with Pitbulls and Amstaffs.
Here she is with Face, a two year old Rednose Pitbull, and they get along great.
Face is a small adult dog, who is great with people and other dogs but he didn’t like that my dog was near his property.
He was putting on a show or acting up, which is more accurate, because he’s not an aggressive dog, but he felt like my dog was there to take his lady friend so he went on the defensive. He wasn’t too convincing though. All he’d do is stick his head out of the gate while standing his ground behind the gate.
It’s best to stay away from a dog you dont know when they’re in this kind of mood. Face was just trying to let everyone know that he wasn’t a chump.
He eventually stopped his angry behavior and chose to bask in the sun instead.
His owner called out to Sugar, but she didn’t respond. Face did instead. His owner said, “Face, gimme some sugar!” and Face did just that before sitting proudly at his owner’s feet. His owner said, “That’s my little guard right there. My little bodyguard,” while petting him affectionately.
