Eeeek! He's adorable!!! He looks a lot like what Bella did when she was that age.

Edit: Here's a link to a picture of her at 7 weeks http://www.creativebeauty.org/images/bellaoutside.jpg

and I'll post more pictures ASAP..

Nice looking pup and a great name! I was thinking of naming my pups after the Greek and Trojan warriors as well. I think that's fitting for such powerful courageous dogs.



Happy New Year!

I love it. We are getting so many blue pits and I love that color. Welcome and congrats on your new addition

 

[Mylexon20s]

Thanks again for everybodys kind introductions!! I am alittle bit nervous though about something Achilles has been doing.. When he gets into a deep sleep, he will start to twitch and shutter as if he was having a seizure.. Sometimes its lightly, and sometimes its pretty bad, untill I wake him and then it stops.. Do you think he is having seizures? or is this something common among the Pit-Bull breed.. I was doing alot of research about it tonight because it is something that is greatly worrying me! If you have any information, it would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks again, and I will get new pictures up as soon as possible!!

Bella always has twitchy dreams, some more violent than others. Sometimes she kicks her legs like she's chasing something. I wouldn't worry about it unless he starts exhibiting this behavior while he's awake.

Well I am happy to hear that.. Achilles is my pride and joy and I want to make sure he is taken care of ! I'll probably give the vet a call tomorrow just to make sure.. I hope that when Achilles gets bigger he looks like your bella.. You deffinately have a beautiful dog! Thanks for the speedy reply also!

Well, thank you! I can't wait to watch Achilles grow up in your pictures. You should post his pictures at least once a day.

he's cute

like the article said, you wouldnt be able to wake him if he was having a seizure. i use to have a dog that had seizures and its very scary, he would shake and foam at the mouth and he would be out of it for a few minutes afterwards. sadly he escaped and we never found him

Awww he's dreaming! I can't think of a dog I've had who hasn't done that. I always thought it was cute.

Great looking pup, btw

He is a great looking pup! Gotta love the blues.

Glad to hear that it sounds like dreaming and not seizures. My dog Mo dreams a lot and twitches his mouth and feet. Sometimes he even makes little monkey noises. :roll:

I bet it is a sign of intelligence that they can dream so vividly.

 

[purely_pitbull]

Beautiful puppy! My foster shepherd growls and whines in his sleep, and I had another dog who would bark, only he wouldn't open his mouth so it was this muffled "mrrumph" noise. I thought he was choking the first few times he did it. :roll:
