Haynes Pit Bulls highly recommend NuVet Plus.

More than a million dogs and cats are using NuVet to protect against
most ailments (from back yard pesticides, pet food allergies and
hormones, toxic formaldehyde in furniture and carpeting, ailments
transmitted from dog parks and the vet's office, etc), while
maintaining a beautiful skin and coat.

NuVet Plus is not just a vitamin. It's is an immune system builder
with a precise balance of vitamins, minerals, omega fatty acids, amino
acids and high-potency antioxidants. That's why it works so well
through all three stages of a dog's life.

For younger dogs (under 2 years old), it strengthens their immune
system, while building and strengthening the cardiovascular, skeletal
and nerve systems.

For dogs in their prime (age 2-8), it improves the luster of their
skin and coat while protecting against allergies, skin and coat
problems, staining from tears, digestive problems, etc.

For older dogs (over 8 years old), it helps reduce and eliminate
arthritis, tumors, premature aging, cataracts, heart conditions,
diabetes and many types of cancer, while extending the life and
improving the vitality of many dogs.

We highly recommend NuVet Plus to keep your pet on the path to perfect
health! It's not available in stores, and is only available to the
general public with an order code from an authorized pet professional.

You may order directly from the manufacturer by calling 800-474-7044
and using Order Code: 58709, or ordering online at
www.nuvet.com/58709. By using autoship you can save an additional 15%.


To the long life and health of your puppy!

We would like to welcome our new members to the group.  At this time,
we do not have any puppies available.  We are expecting a breeding
around November/December with Padme and an awesome Black & Tan stud.

We will update the group on any changes and a better date of puppies
as we have it.

Currently we are unable to update our website due to some issues with
Yahoo's Site builder.  We hope to have a new update this month and
change some things around on the website. We will also be adding more
education and training articles I have been working on collecting.

In the meantime, please post any general questions you may have or a
topic you may want to discuss.

Thank you and have a great day.

Hello Friends,

I was doing some looking around on the web yesterday for a coupon
organizer and came across a story about families and organizations
sending in their expired or extra coupons to Overseas Military Bases.

Our useless, often trashed, expired coupons are good for 6 Extra
Months to the Military!  I was unaware of this and I thought back to
all the coupons I have just thrown away when they could have used
them.  Every penny counts and they could really use our help. Plus it
will show them that us at home are thinking about them and giving a
little back.

I already have a stack of expired coupons to send out that I found
while I was putting in new ones.   I hope you all will send this email
along to a friend and spread the word. Some may have already known
about this, but many I assume have not.

Thanks!

Expired Coupons - Give Grocery Coupons New Life
http://www.savingadvice.com/forums/grocery-articles/2575-expired-coupons-give-gr\
ocery-coupons-new-life.html
There is nothing worse than finding a great coupon only to realize
that it has already expired. While the automatic reaction is to toss
it into the trash, before your do consider giving it new life by
sending it to military families overseas.

Military commissaries overseas accept manufacturer cents-off coupons
for up to six months past their printed expiration dates. That means
that coupons that are useless to you can still save oversea military
families some money. By simply sending any expired coupons you have to
select bases overseas that want and need the coupons, you can help out
military families save money on everyday groceries.

You can contribute coupons as an individual or organize a group to
help out in sending coupons. Either way, it doesn't take much effort
to make a difference and help the military families save some money.
Coupon inserts from a typical Sunday paper have over $100 worth of
coupons so simply collecting these can be a great help.

Before sending the coupons, you will want to contact the base to see
if they have any specific preferences in the way the coupons are sent.
Most military bases receiving the coupons ask that you neatly clip the
coupons (which you will want to do anyway to save on postal charges)
and sort them into "food" and "non-food" categories. The "food"
category should contain coupons for anything that humans would eat
while the "non-food" category would be everything else (pet food
coupons would be considered an "non food" item)

Once separated, add up the value of all the coupons in each category.
Place the coupons from each category into a zip lock plastic bag and
write the category and the dollar value of all the coupons on the
outside of the bag in permanent ink.

There are a number of ways to send the coupons to the bases. The
cheapest is by "Parcel Post". If you chose to send the coupons this
way, make sure that the coupons have not been expired for more than
two months since Parcel Post takes quite a long time to travel to its
destination.

For more complete information on the Overseas Coupon Program, you can
visit their website at ocpnet.org. The site also provides the

Hello!

I wanted to send out an email to everyone to let you all know that I
am going to make some changes in the group.  I am going to promote the
group more on our website and on MySpace. Don't worry... I dont want
the group to get too big. But I get so many emails and phone calls
from other APBT owners asking questions and needing my opinion on
things.  I would like for people to go through our Yahoo Group, have a
community of  sorts and possibly help more people in the group.   I
dont know how well this will work, and if I see it getting out of
control or become abused, I will make the necessary changes.

I have been laid off at work, and besides seriously looking for a new
job, I do have that extra 'me' time that I can work on the group.
Plus I need something constructive to do besides the same old everyday
duties of being a mom and wife.

Thanks for being a member to our group (I know I havent been active
and Im sorry). I have some updated pictures of our dogs I want to
share and hopefully find a good home for a few older male pups we have
now.  I cant update our website (Yahoo has some kind of bug in
SiteBuilder).  But I am trying to wiggle around it.

Thanks,
Allison

Hey everyone,
I know it's been a while, but life was a little hectic for a while.  I
saw this article today and wanted to share it.

Their First 'Baby' Was a Dog;
How Will It Handle the Real Deal?
By RACHEL ZIMMERMAN
June 2, 2008

While pregnant with her first child, Meridith Duffy cried nearly every
day -- to her dog trainer.
She feared she'd have to part with her pit bull, Haley, when her child
was born. Haley "had never bitten anyone," says Ms. Duffy, who lives
in Braintree, Mass. "But I knew she had that potential, and I was
nervous."

The trainer had a solution: a program to get Haley used to having a
baby around. Soon, Ms. Duffy was walking through the house with a
stroller, playing a CD of annoying baby cries, and tugging the dog's
ears and tail the way a toddler might. Haley also got many hours of
obedience classes. "We had to learn that she was a dog, not a person,"
Ms. Duffy says. "That was hard for us."

The Duffys, whose baby, Isabella, arrived 19 months ago, are part of a
new breed of parents-to-be who pay to baby-proof their dogs. At least
a half-dozen dog-baby books and DVDs are on the market, with titles
like "Your Baby and Bowser." A canine re-education course called Dogs
& Storks, launched in 2006, now has 35 affiliated trainers in the U.S.
and Canada, with hundreds of graduates.

"It's catching on because people are choosing to have kids later, and
their dogs are really their first baby," says the course's creator,
Jennifer Shryock of Cary, N.C., who sells it to trainers for $300.

Dogs bite about 4.7 million people a year in the U.S., the majority of
them children, according to the American Veterinary Medical
Association. Bonnie Beaver, a Texas vet and past president of the
group, says that of the 15 to 20 people a year who die from dog bites,
about 80% are children.

Ms. Shryock tells expectant parents, "When the baby comes, you are
going to look at your dog for the first time as an animal. You will
feel different about Fluffy."

That came as a shock to Tracy Fuquay, of Raleigh, N.C. For six years,
her Shih-poo, Marcy, was the family princess: She traveled in a purse,
dressed in colorful sweaters, sundresses or a denim jacket with heart
sequins. When Ms. Fuquay graduated from the Raleigh School of Nurse
Anesthesia in August 2006, Marcy wore a cap and gown.

In the eighth month of her pregnancy, Ms. Fuquay finally started
saying no to Marcy. The dog was no longer allowed to ride in Ms.
Fuquay's lap as she drove, and was banned from her bed. The result:
"Marcy became racked with anxiety."

Things got worse after baby Leah's birth in December. Marcy now often
cowers, and she urinates on the rugs. "I'm cleaning as much dog pee as
I am changing diapers," the new mom says. "My husband is ready to give
the dog away, but I can't."

She paid Ms. Shryock $160 for a two-hour house call. The result was a
sobering assessment: "Because Marcy was used to being treated as 'the
baby' for years, she will have a more difficult time and longer
adjustment time to learn that she is not the only one needing attention."

Christopher Reggio, a publisher of pet-care books, says demand for
prenatal dog prep is rising because "dogs today are real family
members. They aren't 'owned' by people, they're 'parented' by people."
His TFH Publications Inc. in Neptune, N.J., last year released "And
Baby Makes Four: A Trimester-by-Trimester Guide to a Baby-Friendly Dog."

Natalie Rivkin is in the final days of her third trimester. But in her
mind she's already been a mom for nearly six years -- to Luca, her
chocolate Lab. "My schedule is built around her.
When she's sick, I worry," says the high-school math teacher in Boston.

The Fake Baby

One recent day, Luca watched as Ms. Rivkin reached into her
sport-utility vehicle, gently lifted a plastic doll in a blue "onesie"
from the infant car seat and buckled it into a new stroller, then
began pushing the stroller and doll through a local arboretum.

"Hey, that's not a real baby," yelled a passing runner. It was hard to
know what Luca thought; she was busy nibbling grass.

Ms. Rivkin was doing her homework for Barks & Babies, a seminar taught
to 10 couples at a local maternity store. Her instructor, Jenifer
Vickery, owner of the Pawsitive Dog in Boston, suggests practicing
with a fake baby four weeks before mom's due date. Other prebirth
strategies: ignoring the dog more, and scenting dog toys with almond
oil to distinguish them from baby toys.

Like older siblings, dogs can act out when stressed by a change like a
new baby, trainers say. Barking, biting and soiling the house can all
happen if dogs get less attention and exercise, feeling sidelined.

"It's harder to be a dog today," says Sue Sternberg of Accord, N.Y., a
trainer and specialist in testing dogs' temperaments.

Not necessarily, though, for Phoebe and Zack, two large members of the
Joe and Joelle Coretti household in Milford, Conn. Phoebe is an
85-pound golden retriever, and Zack, a German shepherd, weighs in at
120 pounds. "I was nervous about how big they were and how they might
think the baby was a toy to play with," Ms. Coretti says. "But I was
also nervous -- since they were our first babies -- that they might
have some issues with the new baby. I wanted the dogs to feel they
were still part of the family."

Ms. Coretti went to a Dogs & Storks Seminar and picked up some
training tips. After she gave birth last year, her husband brought
home the baby's T-shirt and cap for the dogs to sniff. Baby Kyle, age
1, now plays with the giant dogs, "who," Ms. Coretti adds, "still
sleep in our bed."

Lynda Vanderhoven of Boston practiced relegating Bailey, her yellow
Labrador puppy, to his "doggie den" in the house so she would be able
to attend to her new son, Sam, when necessary. One difference between
her two "babies," she says, is that the dog "can be legally locked in
a crate."

Feeling Guilty

By the time Susie Flaherty gave birth in 2006, her pit bull and
Labrador mix, Rudy, had
completed dozens of private and group classes. But it was hard for her
and her husband to impose limits on Rudy, who'd been abused as a
puppy. "He was our first child, and he was such a loving dog," she
says. "Our need for the love and comfort he provided...made us
inconsistent -- when we needed it, we had him up on the couch with us."

Shortly after her son, Angus, was born, Ms. Flaherty, a personal
trainer in South Boston, couldn't cope. Unable to cuddle Rudy while
breast-feeding around the clock, "I felt horribly guilty," she says.

She gave the dog to her childless brother in San Francisco. Rudy
recently got a Facebook page so he can keep in touch.

As for Meridith Duffy and her husband, Keith, a marketing executive,
they continue to send Haley, their female pit bull, to
anger-management class. It seems to have worked.

"People think you're crazy to have a pit bull in the first place," Mr.
Duffy says. "But now the dog lies down and the baby pokes her in the
eye and pulls her ears, and she just takes it." A second Duffy baby is
due June 7.

10 Easy to Remember Tips for Responsible Pit Bull Owners

1. Exercise your dog everyday. Pit Bulls are high energy dogs that
need some way of burning off that pinned up energy. Even a short 10-
15 minute walk or game of fetch in the backyard will help burn off
energy that can lead to behavior problems.
2. Never leave pit bulls alone with other dogs (or any animal). Even
if you're dog gets along great 99.9% of the time with other animals
the Pit Bull is known for animal aggression and it is possible
something will happen. A good piece of advice I received a long time
ago was, Never trust your Pit Bull not to fight.
3. Always have your dog on a leash in public. Most if not all towns,
cities and states have leash laws. Obey these laws. This will help
people see your dog in a positive light and keep accidents like
getting hit by passing cars from occuring.
4. Always supervise your dogs and never allow them to roam free.
Loose dogs are often hurt by cruel people and accidents can happen
as well. Always know where your dog is.
5. Supervise your dog with small children. This is a must. Small
children are often hurt by dogs not out of angry, but because dogs
can scratch them, step on them, and otherwise injure them.
6. Spay or Neuter your dog. Unless you plan on doing something where
the dog can not be spayed or neutered get it done. This will reduce
accidental breedings and stop roaming males from getting loose.
7. Train your dog. Take your dog to obedience classes or hire a
private trainer to help you train your dog. This is very important
for Pit Bull owners. If you can not control your dog bad things will
eventually happen. Get your dog into training as soon as possible.
8. Avoid dog parks. While your Pit Bull is a puppy and up to date on
all their shots going to a dog park isn't a bad idea. However, when
the dog gets older it turns into a bad idea. Because you have a Pit
Bull is not the main reason for not going to places like these.
Rather it's because other dogs and owners are not responsible and
let their dogs run around like jackasses. This can cause friction
between your dog and another dog at the park. Not a good scene rio.
9. Socialize your dog. Take your dog to as many places as you can,
meet new people and while they are young meet as many other dogs as
possible. Socializing your Pit Bull will help curb any future
problems that might occur.
10. Keep your dog properly confined. Pit Bulls are known to be great
escape artist. Make sure you have the means to keep them in your
yard and properly confined. Installing a six foot privacy fence is
not a bad idea either.
Responsible ownership starts from the time your Pit Bull comes to
live with you. Irresponsible owner's are one of the major causes for
all the problems the breed faces today. It's our hope here at Pit
Bull Lovers we can spread the word and educate more owners to take
responsibility for their dogs actions.

In order for things to change, we must change the way we look at our
own actions and how they effect the world around us. Until we do
that, things will simply stay the way they are right now.

Please go to this page on his website:
http://www.pitbulllovers.com/health-articles.html
Research as much as you can on the Health Issues that you may/may
not be faced with.  Even if you think you know everything there is,
there is always something more to learn.

We get quite a few questions about what books to get about Pit
Bulls.  Jason has already created a page that is detailed and all
the books that we think you should have as well. We only have to get
a few more and Amazon is the best place around to find them. Check
it out at: http://www.pitbulllovers.com/american-pit-bull-terrier-

We hope we have inspired you to learn a little bit about your dog
and being a responsible owner.

Check out our website in a few weeks as we will be adding to it.  We
will also be starting a Breedings page to keep you updated as to our
puppies and so forth.
