Quoted:
I own a blood hound...so Im not biased toward your breed/mix. Nevertheless, the best damn dog I have ever had the pleasure of knowing was a Bull Terrior/ rittie mix. (I assume that you mean American pit and not English bull terrior) He was an ablsolutely beautiful dog: brendel color, very solid medium sized at 75#, obedient to no end ( He would sit infront of his food and look at it for an hour if you let him...and not eat until directed to. I watched him jump a fence and go after the postman ((never a problem before or after, but his master was inbetween him and the PM(stranger) at this one time)) and stopped immediately at the command of "freeze". That dog was a stud ....the best of the working breeds and fighting breeds combined. He was smart as hell too. He could open door knobs(only know of one other dog that had this talent...a Greyhound). He also manipulated other dogs in the house. If he wanted to get into a particular spot on a sofa, he'd go into the kitchen and pretend he was eating, the other dog would go to investigate...at which point he would charge the said location.
Oaky...I've said enough. I hope your boy is a sound member of the family. If he lives up to my Buddy's dog, you will have a fine companion.

Thankyou for posting. Your breed description fits this pup, (decided a few ago to name him "Shawnee").
I've known [s]the pup[/s] Shawnee, for a couple of weeks, as I visit my carver friend frequently. Every time I went there, [s]the pup[/s] Shawnee, would come and sit between my feet, (not with others), I asked where he got him, couldn't find 'em. Last week he offered the pup to me.
Thought long, and hard. I've had 'em before... shepards, and labs. There's responsibility, AND Pain.
Your description of your grown dog fits this puppy, as I project out, based on what I've seen. (the cat door thing blew me away..he got a LOT of praise!)
This puppy is smarter than a shepard, or lab, (obviously [:D]), ever THOUGHT of being, at the same age.
VERY special... (in my lap now).
