Allow me to introduce.. 'Cali' the Amstaff

[Bouncer]

It's funny the little things you notice. For example she HATES the bathroom. I can tell the previous owner simply put her away in the bathroom when they left or got tired of her intensity. It's understandable but you can just tell she spent a lot of time in there. I'll probably have to get a crate for when I'm not here, no doubt she would tear shit up in the house. Costco sells crates for literally half the price as petsmart so that's where I'll go. Should be able to get one for $35. Don't need a huge one as I'll have her trained by the time she's grown. Just need one to contain the little devil pup for now. :P

[blm]

Big enough to comfortably turn around will suffice.

[rado]

And make sure you give this pup a bath, smelly ass dogs you got all the time brah. You want me to visit Costco to get you some cases of body wash?

[blm]

She finally laid down after none stop playing since 10am.

Look at that good looking girl. They have such a great energy.

[Scrumhalf]

Nice looking dog, bro. You're a good guy to take her off your neighbor's hands. I am sure she will have a much better life with you than with someone who cannot put in the work needed by a high energy breed.

She is adorable. I would definitely get her crate trained, even if you decide later she doesn't need it. She probably needs it now to feel comfortable/safe taking a break!

I'm convinced she is powered by nuclear. She does everything with intensity and vigor. She takes a shit with vigor, she eats with vigor, she plays and play and plays with vigor, she pulls until she chokes herself and keeps on pulling with vigor. The list goes on and on. Holy fuck. This dog should thank her lucky stars she found me because I have no doubt most would have taken her to the spca or let her loose. She's smart, she beautiful, but God damn is she one of the hardest headed dogs ive ever known. She will be an ambassador for the breed by the time I'm done with her but its gonna take many many months to get little miss thing in check. Holly luya holy shit and pass the Tylenol!

Took me all damn day to get her to this point. 4 mile walk and swim. She jumped in the water and just swam and swam like a pro. My Boxer only goes up to his chest. Lol.

Good luck. She does sound stubborn. That poor family had no idea how to properly take care of her. I'm glad she found you. She is beautiful.

So the Alpha dog met his bitch:hug:

[rado]

All jokes aside, you got a big heart for animals brother. MOST wouldn't of done what you did. If it's true indeed you had approached those folks about the dog being given to you and it finds a way to eventually fulfill your request, that's good karma my nigg;)

I think it's because when I was little my house wasn't very peaceful. Lot of stress and our dogs was my escape. I used to lay on them with my blanket. They were my peace in all the chaos. My mom has like 10 pics of me on my dog when I was a baby.

In some kind of way I see them as pure. A dog would love you just the same if you had a dollar or a billion. They are genuine, they are loyal, they truly are man's best friend.

What a fucking neat touching story, gotta get back on destiny :D

No dog should ever be put in a crate unless its absolutely necessary. Maybe for travelling. Not trying to be a dick just my two cents.

[FitnessBrat]

/\ I'm sure we'll all just have to agree to disagree on that. Nobody loves their dogs more than a few of us here, and we've all mentioned crates. Do I think you should lock your dog in a cage all day - of course not.

B - are you planning on taking her to some training/obedience puppy classes?
