A Roundup Baby

As the months warm up, I'm reminded of a fond summer day last year when we met Chris and Tanea. It was their first Roundup and with them, they had their tiny, adorable, champagne colored puppy named Posie.

She played rough and quickly became the groups favorite pup. With Chris's quirky comments and Posie's tenacious attitude, it wasn't long before people were welcoming them into the gates before they were near them!

Little Posie isn't so little anymore. In fact, I could be quoted calling her a ham on several occasions. Of course, I mean "ham" in a loving way... She could also be accused of being a mini-moose, a baby mac truck, and a human bowler. Posie loves wrestling with other dogs and can often be found covered in dirt pinning a helpless puppy to the ground. Don't be fooled though! This big girl knows how to play fair... If you watch long enough, you'll soon see a limp Posie rolling around in the grass with a puppy on top of her that "managed to pin her". Truly a sight to be seen!

The benefits of growing up inside the Roundup are plentiful. Not only does your dog have a LARGE steady playgroup to burn off steam at, but your dog gets the opportunity to grow up well socialized to many different things. They get the chance to meet dogs of all ages and sizes in a positive and controlled environment! Posie came to us at a crucial time in her development... An important window during puppy-hood in which dogs learn how to interact with each other that molds (for the most part) how they interact with dogs the rest of their lives. Doing this the right way helps you build the positive aspects of the breed's character and promotes dog-positive behavior instead of the breed's genetic predisposition to be dog-aggressive. Proper socialization is the key to this breed's prosperity!

Thanks to Chris and Tanea's hard work, Posie is a wonderful example of a pit bull raised the RIGHT way.
