When I first got my female Pit Neva I knew nothing about the responsibility of dog breeding and I decided to breed her. She is a brindle with white pit and we bred her to a fawn male that our friend owned. Neva is ADBA registered but the male wasn't so no papers for our puppies. I also did not do any health testing or anything else that you should and it was pretty much a disaster. Placing the puppies was really hard because I did know that a lot of people interested in this breed are not having good intentions on what they will do with the puppies. I spent several days researching and creating a legal document that explained that if the dog was not appropriatley cared for that I could remove the pup from the home. It was extremely detailed about everything from cropping ears to spaying and neutering. These pups were my mistake and my responsibility. They were fun and cute but SOOOO MESSY and extremely time consuming. I did end up removing one pup because the owner was jogging him hard at a young age and I knew that would be bad to the pups health. Another of these pups was diagnosied with lymphoma, cancer of the lymphatic system. Her owners have spent thousands of dollars to give her a good quality of life for the short time she has remaining. This could be hereditary I am not sure because I don't know anything about the dad, if he is even still alive.
I would highly suggest that if you want puppies so bad you volunteer at a rescue organization and when they have a mama with a litter that needs to be fostered you take them and foster them. This will give you a great idea on how it is not all fun in games to breed and how unwanted puppies end up in rescue organizations all the time. There are too many good dogs dying already, after learning my lesson I will never add to that problem again and I will leave the breeding to the pro's. Just my two cents.
