Do boards interview your dog(s)?

The (sad) truth is - yes - but it's unusual. Normally, boards are more concerned about noise (barking), size (clattering noise from a big dog or big ferocious dogs), and general demeanor.

Normally, it's discussed before the meeting, and maybe in advance you tell them the size, send a pic, and assure them that it dosn't howl in distress when you walk out the door and go to work.

But in some higher end coops, yes - you WILL have to bring the dog. And a tranquilizer is REALLY unnecessary unless there are serious issues to begin with, in which case you should just fes' up now BEFORE the board interview.

I hope that your dog is polite & well trained & well behaved or I wouldn't want them living in my building, co-op or no co-op. I think if your dogs are well behaved I doubt it would be a problem but your realtor should know the situation at different buildings.

you should start teaching your dog a few tricks - like roll over and kiss ass!

#4...now that was funny

woof woof... com'on baby... kiss mama's big ass... good boy...

That is cute. If you want to get into some of the premier co-ops, that would be a great trick. You might start practicing yourself!

Um, very funny! This is OP. I have 2 dogs, a big sleepy one and a young pit bull mix who is a therapy dog--visits old ladies in nursing homes. But she's young and energetic. I have found a dog-loving building in Murry Hill, and if I like the apt. (open house tomorrow) this may be the one!

pit bulls are dangerous and should be put to sleep

Which building in Murray Hill? I used to live in a coop at 20 East 35th, and know many of the buildings in that neighborhood well....

The Pit Bull should get you right in.

Young and energetic pitbulls, what do they become when they grow up?

lawsuits for coops

It's not the dogs at fault. It's the owners who don't know how to rear them.
Just like bad parenting - people who rear their kids to be unruly teenagers, or let them grow up to be violent adults.

blah blah blah... just blame it on the parents. why not blame it on the media?

oh... if u remove the pitt and it's a bull... would that be better?

"It's not the dogs at fault" right...tell that to the misfigured toddler.

They are beautiful dogs & I'm sure some of them are quite nice but PIT BULL carries a lot of baggage. Good luck. I understand they're banned in the UK.

You should be required to carry a million dollar insurance liability policy on your pit bulls.
If I was on the board, no way you would get in.

#9--nice. So you are advocating the murder of an entire breed of do for no other reason than that they are one of the breeds most likely to be bred and trained for aggression by humans. The humans should be put to sleep not the dogs.
