HEAR HEAR!

i absolutely agree with this post.
and miakoda may have been rude, but shes right.

this is a regular poster, so she gets special treatment?

im sorry, but its ridiculous. this breeding is doing nothing for the breed. ask elegy for her stats on how many pits are being bred each and every year.

ask your local shelter how many they euthanize each year.

I have to agree.. there are so many pits now that need homes.. I really don't see the point of bringing more into the world.. it just seems like you want to do this one time to experience it and maybe get some hunters.. I respect that you plan to do all the health testing and that's more that some other people would do.. but I still don't really see the point..

I honestly don't see how someone could make that kind of judgment (that it isn't going to contribute anything to the breed) by just a few rather vague posts. How is this *not* helping the breed if she is breeding to produce good, sound hunting dogs? Granted, it may be something any APBT can do but I am not too familiar with the breed or hunting . . . Totally hypothetical situation, but if I had an exceptional working Border Collie and wanted to breed her to a carefully chosen stud after she passed her health tests, how would that be harming the breed?

Really, if I had any question about the breeding it would be "why". With a breed as overpopulated as the Pit Bull, excellent breedings are definitely needed but "decent" ones are completely unnecessary. I don't think anyone can judge Darkchild's dog, having never seen him work.

I personally wouldn't do this breeding because there are so very many APBTs in shelters, but Breeze has been a member here long enough to know what responsible breeding is, and I think I know her well enough to trust that she wouldn't do an irresponsible or mediocre breeding.

Maybe it is "special treatment", but isn't everyone more likely to trust someone that they are familiar with?

thank you rd and i have thought about it from all sides and i have went back and forth but i cant find a hunting dog and yes i could give up my hunting dogs but they have been in my family for generations and to me its just not something im willing to give up. and i will always have sheltar pits too so im not excluding anyone .

I think I just have a problem with breeding any dogs anymore.. I think that's all it is for me.. If you do what you feel is right then go with it.. I'm honestly just sick of the idea of bringing more puppers into the world when we're so overrun with them no.. even though they aren't always specific breeds, they're still dogs.. and no matter how you look at it by breeding ANY dog you aren't helping the population.. But you do seem to know your..ahem.. poop.. so good luck to you and your puppers!

thats why i keep saying no but then i come back to the hunting aspect. And if it wasnt for the hunting i would stop breeding now but hunting is a very important, big part of my life. And to me its not hunting without dogs. ANd i actully have been in touch with our pit rescue about hunting dogs and how many they get and to call me when they get a dog that would be a good canidate in the rescue. because we know very soon we will have to put booger to sleep and we want to rescue another dog in her place.

Are there not other breeders, perhaps more established that breed hunting dogs? Could you get on a waiting list for a pup from one of them?

I'm not going to say if you should or shouldn't breed. I don't know your dogs. But I think it should be possible to find a breeder of hunting dogs you can can a puppy from without having to breed your own. Plenty of breeders out there, bound to be a good one within a days drive or so.

This is a good idea, Breeze. Especially if you only want another pup or two for hunting.

yes i could but im very picky and would want to hunt behind their dogs before i commit to a puppy but if i can do that and im pleased with their preformance i would do that.
