Question

Help answer this question below.

I recently lost my 13yr. old yellow lab (purebred). I have been offered a puppy (mother is choc. lab, father is a pit bull/choc.lab mix). The grandfather was a calm pit bull. What are the chances this puppy will show pit bull traits (I have grandchildren)

    Even if the grandfather was calm that doesn't me the puppy will be. There are so many tragedies that happen I wouldn't risk it. The age of your grandchild and their temperment is a factor as well. If your grandchildren can't be trusted to behave responsibly around the dog then I definitly wouldn't trust it. For instance do they know not to approach a dog when they are eating or not to suddenly take their toy away.

    However there are tests you can do to check a dogs temperment. I would speak to a professional and see what they are. That would at least give you some idea although I don't believe that it is a guaruntee.
