Welcome to my "keep everybody up to date" page.

   My name is Dakota.  I'm a red-nose APBT ( American Pit Bull Terrier ).  I have worked really hard to make a great page for you to find all kinds of information about me and my breed.  I ask that you sniff through all my pages and links and you may contact me through the link at the bottom of this page.

My Story:

   I was born on August 22, 2003.  I came from a breeder in the Houston, Texas area.  My birth-mom was about 70 lbs. and my birth-dad was about 65 lbs.  My first Dad took me home and called me Tora; but after only one week, he had to go overseas.  He was so sad.  He asked his sister, (Miss Tatiana) to take care of me and find me a new home.  I really liked staying with my foster mom because I got to play with the cats, and the dogs, and the kids too!  Miss Tatiana put me in an ad on Petfinder.com under the name "Haley" and that is how my new family found me.  My new Mommy and Daddy (Patrick and Alex Taylor)  were so excited when they found out that I had not been adopted yet and came to get me the very next day, January 11th of 2004.  I now live in Plano, Texas which is just to the north of Dallas. 

My new Home:

   When I got to my new home, I was really scared because I didn't know what to expect.  I was very shy and only wanted to stay in my crate.  That was a hard first week.  I had to start a new house training program, deal with these new people (that would not leave me alone), meet a new sister named Squirrel, change my food, and even lost a baby tooth.   Now I just love it here.  I have a great back yard to play in.  I have my very own park at the end of my street.  My best friend, Black Kitty, lives right next door and comes to visit everyday.  I have three cousins that are Border Collies and do this Flyball thing.  (Bandit, my youngest cousin is a nut-case.)  I even think that Mommy and Daddy are wanting to get me a brother or sister to play with.  Most of all though, I really love my Mommy and Daddy, and Squirrel.  Mommy made me say "and Squirrel".
