I don't want your dog sniffing me while I'm there, I don't want to touch your freaking puppy, I don't want to feel uncomfortable walking around while your dog or dogs act like idiots, and I don't want to feel like I have to wait until your off the aisle before I can walk down it since you can't control your dog. (no one in particular, just saying you in general) Maybe I'm just unsocialized, .
The vet makes exceptions for Benjamin & Maddie ~ by my request, and as long as it's just a minor issue such as shots or anything else I'm allowed to bring them in before they are open. As long as I let them know I'm coming, and to expect us. It's not that I don't trust my dogs, it's that I don't trust everyone else.

Now about not muzzling.
Why do people insist on bringing their dogs into Petsmart?

i just can't see the pro's to your breeding
Well I have 2 acres of land so I have enough room for "X" amount of dogs I have the ability to feed and house the ones I could not find good homes for which would most likely be with friends and family so I would have the ability to take back any that were "problem pups" I am not saying that I am for sure going to breed them, and if I decide not to I will have them both fixed.

Not with dogs he knows that come over i.e. my friend's dogs (both small breed mutts both fixed) he does great with them its playtime all the time.. Then we leave the yard and walk alone.. any dog that he can even catch a glimpse of he wigs out.. lunging, barking, the whole nine yards. At a local rabies shot clinic he was so bad I had to remove him from the group. He's worse when I walk the female with us... so therefore we only do solo walks now. I live way out in the sticks and so there aren't many chances to socialize him with other dogs and now... I'd be afraid to take him somewhere with other dogs around for fear of him hurting one. I even muzzled him once when we went into PetsMart... and he still was in the "I must kill everything around me" mindset. Any thoughts? as to how to socialize him... we've had a few come to jesus discussions.. doesn't seem to help.. on choke collars or prongs.. they don't do much.. he pulls untill it hurts.. stops the lunges again.

Michelle, I appreciate you telling Ruby's (I assume?) story, it helps make things a little more real.

I found a local trainer who works in everything from basic obedience to protection training who is willing to assist me in socializing and training my boy Boomer, and he's reasonably priced and has a soft spot for pits, so I'm gonna take them both to him for training if all goes well with Boomer.

Dragging me over the coals about breeding opinions aside I thank the ones who attempted to help me with my question.
