Save money. Adopt a soi dog. It will love you and is less likely to eat you.

 

 

Exactly. No need to bring sand to the beach.

Many  wonderful animals here to adopt including puppies and kittens.

Single story, detached house on the beach with a garden (and the beach)

OK, thanks. The issue is that a lot of people in Thai and Farang get dogs and have them cooped up.

 

If you are on a beach, I would be looking at a more friendly dog. A pit bull is not what I would consider man's best friend, and if I was your neighbour, I would have reservations about being involved with a dog with their attitude.

 

I think going to the local pound you would be able to find man's best friend.  They can also tell you about the dog's temperment

No dog is ever vicious or attacks a living soul.......until it does......then the excuse...."oh well he's never tried to kill anyone before" simply doesn't wash.

 

We keep our dog on a lead whenever there are other people about....even at home he goes on a lead if someone visits.

The issue for pitbulls is they were literally bred for fighting.

That means significantly stronger jaw muscles, so if they bite...

Like most dogs, it's down to the owner more than the dog... But those jaw muscles mean it's a lot more serious with a pit bull.

 

I once had a dog who we rescued. And very occasionally, around other dogs, it would suddenly just have an immediate change of character and attack. Which is why we kept it on a lead if we saw other dogs around when walking it. If you didn't witness it, you wouldn't believe it if you saw the dog the rest of the time. (It was a Shih Tzu, so even the other people walking their, usually significantly larger, dogs, would mostly just laugh... They wouldn't laugh if it was a Pit Bull. They'd call the police on you...)
