But since it's a genetic issue I have a whole different problem to solve. Thanks again everyone!

Just be sure you give the dog a fair shake.

Gr Ch Junior had some pretty shitty-looking feet also (hell, he was just an ugly-ass dog all over), but that didn't stop him from being game and tough as hell ... nor from whipping 6 dogs with better conformation than he had.

Too many people want to judge their pups every step of the way ... rather than just enjoy them

So just enjoy your pup and do YOUR best job with raising him. Sure, good conformation is important (or can be), but there are plenty of good-looking, athletic dogs that are rank curs too.

Don't ever forget that the truest conformation to "the APBT standard" is GAMENESS and the NEVER-ENDING DESIRE TO WIN.
It is not how they look.

You can't see his gameness or spirit yet, these things are still developing, so don't worry about your pup's feet as much as you worry about feeding him well, building his confidence, and developing the bond between you both.

I have seen some fuggen ugly-ass dogs that were bad as hell ... and I have seen some absolutely beautiful dogs that weren't worth two squirts of piss ... and the most beautiful thing there is to behold in these dogs is their SPIRIT. Period.

So concentrate on developing that above all else.
