Story
Libra was born oct 5th 2023 he is a very good, he likes to play and be spoiled but don’t let him sleep on your bed because he would start to think it’s his bed and never want to sleep anywhere else, Libra like to get dressed up but don’t like to take off the close lol he is one of a kind. Libra wasn’t raised to be a mean dog even tho he’s a pitt he also never got until any fights…he never had a girlfriend but that’s what I think he needs sometimes because he think I’m his lol. Libra is a protector he like to sit but house door or room door. Libra never bit up shoes or wires only ate socks when he was little, he likes dog parks but being that he’s not fixed I had to stop taking him, he also love to bath. Libra has a allergic reaction to chicken…his favorite shampoo is from coat defense he also like when you put the powder on him from that company…Libra still needs some training but he knows what sit means he knows the word Go and No or come here, also know how to give you his paw.
