Welcome!!! Our first AB owner here that we didnt steal from Kingsnake!!!! WOO HOO!!!

I own brutus a male AB who was probably trained for fighting with slight abuse. He was found as a stray and has tons of energy and full of spunk. Right about now we are estimating him (if my opinions of who i think his breeder is) at little over 1 year. We have done basic obedience with him and are looking at getting into round two. Right now both myself and my fiance are working our behinds off with work so we have just found new ways to work with what we learned in our classes. He has good days and bad days, but is overall a good dog. He seems VERY protective when out with me (or fiance) on walks, puts his body between me and anything he views as a threat. Heck he does it in the house as well. I am seriously considering training in protection since it seems to be his instinct. I also feed a raw diet. I am also in the Midwest located up here in the frozen tundra that is Wisconsin.

Welcome!!!
Cindy
PS This is my boy.
