If you decide to purchase a puppy from Swampdog Kennels, I am praying that you will be willing to stay in contact with me and help me with my research. The picture above is what I'll be doing after our kennel places a puppy in their new home. This dog did not like her head touched and would let people know. Through classical conditioning, I can now hold her head in my hands for long periods of time. This also worked for nail grooming.
Every single dog has a personality that is different from the next.
My American Bulldogs and American Pit Bull Terriers are treated as one of the family and trained how to behave correctly in order to be viable members of our society. These breeds have a natural protection instinct that needs to be guided into knowing right from wrong. The media destruction of the American Pit Bull Terrier is very upsetting to me. It is their job to protect their home and property, but it is your job to teach them right from wrong. These are very intelligent dogs and are easily trained, whether you do it in a good way or an unacceptable way in our society today.
