raw diet and twisted paws

[Pit Bull Committed]

Alright, I just want to come back and share what I found out. So it was genetic like Scratchin Dog said and not my raw diet. Just went back to check out her littermates and all of them has east & west paws. I'm glad to know that it wasn't the raw diet. But since it's a genetic issue I have a whole different problem to solve. Thanks again everyone!

Just be sure you give the dog a fair shake.

Gr Ch Junior had some pretty shitty-looking feet also (hell, he was just an ugly-ass dog all over), but that didn't stop him from being game and tough as hell ... nor from whipping 6 dogs with better conformation than he had.

Too many people want to judge their pups every step of the way ... rather than just enjoy them

So just enjoy your pup and do YOUR best job with raising him. Sure, good conformation is important (or can be), but there are plenty of good-looking, athletic dogs that are rank curs too.

Don't ever forget that the truest conformation to "the APBT standard" is GAMENESS and the NEVER-ENDING DESIRE TO WIN.
It is not how they look.

You can't see his gameness or spirit yet, these things are still developing, so don't worry about your pup's feet as much as you worry about feeding him well, building his confidence, and developing the bond between you both.

I have seen some fuggen ugly-ass dogs that were bad as hell ... and I have seen some absolutely beautiful dogs that weren't worth two squirts of piss ... and the most beautiful thing there is to behold in these dogs is their SPIRIT. Period.

So concentrate on developing that above all else.

I agree with what you said Jack! Despite her curved paws I still love her to death! She's coming along well and has such a scary bite for a 6 month old pup.

Thanks for the advice! I know you've been around long enough to know some tricks under your sleeve. I will give it a shot buddy! By the way, what brand of COD liver oil and Vitamin d3 do you use if you don't mind sharing? Thanks again!

I agree she is a good-looking bitch, very rugged-looking for one so young too.

As far as a brand of oil goes ... cod liver oil = cod liver oil ... the "brand name" doesn't mean a thing.

What you want to look for is how many IU of Vitamins A/D per gram the oil contains.

And where to get this oil is in your book
