Pit Bull breeders?

[rottiegirl]

Anyone know of any good pit bull breeders? I am just interested in the breed and I might even go buy one in the future. My future rottie needs a friend:) .It is hard for me to find a good one, because every time I do a search for a breeder I see breeders who make stupid comments like... "huge 25 inch head", "125 pounds!", "great guard dog", "the biggest pits in America", and "Widest shoulders you will ever find!". I just cant seem to find a responsible breeder.

I would search for an American Staffordshire terrier. There are tons of really good reputable breeders in that category.

Those big pitbulls are usually not pure breed even though they are sold that way. They usually have another breed bred into their lines as pitbulls are not that big. You do have to be careful as there are many backyard breeders out there.

Check out Amber-Lite kennels... I have had brief correspondence in the past with Carol (when I say past, I mean like 10 or more ago). Here's a link to their site...http://www.amberlitekennels.com/
The dog in the middle of the front page is Bogan and the most beautiful Pit I think I've ever seen... Her pups aren't cheap at all, but I think she sets her price so high, 1 because she has gorgeous animals and 2 to ward off those who are interested in her dogs for less than good reasons...

it IS hard to find a breeder that does things right in this breed - breeds a standard dog with proper temperament, working ability, healthy, etc.

one of the best breeders i have found:

Why buy one when you can find literally thousands in rescues all across the country that are in desperate need of a home?

So why are you thinking of getting one? im not trying to be rude but it seemed before that you had a problem with the breed. pit bulls arent just for anyone you need lots of experience with one you need lots of time and comitment cause they arent mean unless you teach them to be. and with the 25 inch head and stuff there just saying maybe how big the puppies heads would be at full grown....

I dont have a problem with any breed, I have a problem with irresponsible owners and breeders. Why do you think I have a problem with pit bulls? I am aware that a pit owner needs experience, and that is exactly what I have! I have owned large breeds including a rottie, chow, and a german shepherd. When a pit breeder says that thier dogs are huge and have 25 inch heads, they are not responsible! pits are not supposed to be big. I know exactly what makes a dog aggressive, and it has a lot more to do with other factors than just what you teach it.

*taunts* rescue rescue rescue ??? I got your point the first time. And yes, I might very well get a dog from a shelter, but they dont usually have puppies.

[pitbulliest]

Why do you want a puppy? Whats wrong with an older dog? Or a dog over the age of 1 year?

well before if seemed like you had a problem with the breed and pit bulls arent like rotties,chows or german shepherds they are really different than those breeds i think you should also get a dog from a shelter at least younger or about 1 years old because its better then just buying a puppy and letting other pit bulls get euthinized i think you should go to a rescue you know there are alot of rescue places here in arizona. and maybe with the expericence part maybe you should hang be around pitbulls more and see how you like them ( look in a rescue place and spend time with him/her so you can see how you like them )

Why do you want a puppy? Whats wrong with an older dog? Or a dog over the age of 1 year? its just my personal preference, I like to start off with a fresh dog who hasnt attained any bad habbits or problems from its previous owners. but i do see your point, older dogs need loving homes too.

I know that every breed is different, but I do have experience. And rotties, chows, and GSDs arent no harder or easyer to own than a pit would be. I have been around pits a lot. Why did it seem like I had a problem with them? was it because i admitted that the breed acounts for a lot of attacks?

baby pitbull/pitbull croses in Mesa Oh wow, thanks saje! i never knew a shelter could have so many babies, how sad. Yeah, theres a good chance I will get one from a shelter.

You just have to look around and you can find almost anything. I have a rescue contact lined up for when I'm able to get my Rottie, because she gets a fair amount of puppies in...more than you might think.

[juvee]

ill be breeding my pup in 5 months if u can wait shes a pure breed pitty i dont let her fight, she gets lots of excersise very nice colours just likes to play alot hates beeing left alone wich is normal i guess

[Amstaffer]

Glad to see you have interest in the breed, but I must warn you......once you go pit you never go back! Lol

I recommend home raised rescue first (try www.petfinder.com)
if you can't find what you want and have to have a puppy try going to some akc shows you find some good Amstaff breeders there.

[pitbulliest]

Juvee..why on earth are you breeding your PUP in five months? Dogs shouldn't be bred until they are AT LEAST 2 YEARS OF AGE...
did you health test your dog for virtually every disease/virus/health related problem possible? Is your dog temperament tested? Do you know the history of the parents? Is your dog show quality/ meets breed standards?

WHY ARE YOU BREEDING??? There are thousands and thousands..if NOT millions of pitbulls in this world that are being abused, neglected, or exploited...and too many of them don't even have a home to begin with...

Why add to the problem? FIX YOUR DOGS!!!

Excuse my question, I am not very familiar with Pitbulls. But aren't they said to be dog aggressive ? Doesn't that mean that they ahve to be the only pet in the house ?

4 u all pit lovers, I don't mean to say that Pits are bad .... :)

[MyDogsLoveMe]

Glad to see you have interest in the breed, but I must warn you......once you go pit you never go back! Lol

Now isnt that the truth, just when they start to be boneheads, they just look at you and melt you heart.

No problem....This is a common misconception. I have two Amstaffs (akc Pitbull) and they eat out of the same food dish (They each have their own but they tag team each dish). They have even shared the same rawhide together. They never argue but some times Athena is a little growly when Sal smells her butt when we first wake up in the morning, but can you blame her :p .

It is all in how you raise them, my 65lb muscular intact Male Amstaff submits to my mother's 35lb Male Cockapoo everytime we visit her. My Amstaffs are excellent with other dogs because I have socialized them correctly. The guy who lives next door to me has a Pit bull he got from the humane society that doesn't seem to know what aggressive means. He was bitten by a Cocker Spaniel at the park and he just stood there and looked like someone threw cold water him, no aggression what so ever.

I have had "Pit Bull" experts tell me never leave your Pit Bull alone with another dog, but I leave my alone together every day and they have been left alone with my mother's Dog, My Brother's dog, and my Sister's two dogs and never had a problem. Althougth one time I left Sal alone with my Aunt's Shitzu (17year old) and when we came back Sal and Reggie were laying together and Sal had been licking him....he was all wet...but he seemed to like it, he followed Sal everywhere after that.

[Bowowee]

Pitbulls are cool...

[pitbulliest]

I still want to know why juvee is breeding his dogs...
