What makes for an honest and reputable breeder? The fact is that although a breeder may seem professional and knowledgeable, there is still no guarantee that he or she is a good and honest breeder. Some breeders are only motivated by profit and could not care any less about their dogs. It is up to you to use your instinct and better judgment to determine if the breeder of your choice is honest and trustworthy.
If possible, try to visit the facilities personally so you can take a look around and make your own observation. Watch how the breeders treat their dogs as well as the overall atmosphere of the place. Keep away from Pit Bull breeders who treat their dogs like livestock or fighting animals. Also, if the breeder does not allow visits from prospective buyers, then you are probably better off looking some place else.
Watch out for clues that the breeder is breeding Pit Bulls to use as fighting dogs. These breeders may have their dogs tethered on heavy chains. You may see spring poles, treadmills, and other equipment used for building muscles and strength. This type of equipment, however, is also found in Pit Bull breeders who are not raising fighting dogs. Many show breeders use treadmills to condition their dogs. In addition, many breeders and pet owners have spring poles simply for their dog’s fun and exercise.
Observe the other Pit Bull dogs in the kennel and watch out for any scars, particularly big ones. Old scars on dogs may indicate that they have been used for fighting, although they could also indicate accidents. But finding a lot of dogs with scars, especially around the area of the face strongly suggests either a fighting history, or of a very careless breeder.
Know exactly what you are looking for. Do you want a Pit Bull simply as a companion and a playmate for your kids or one that you can train to be a show dog? Being honest with the breeder about your intentions will get you the Pit Bull that is perfect for you and your family.
We plan each breeding with the paramount intention of improving the breed.
We select the stud dog and brood bitch with an eye to temperament, working instinct and ability. We will not breed any male or female until they are both physically and mentally mature.
We believe that only those dogs known to be free of serious or disqualifying defects should be used for breeding. We will not breed dogs with vicious or shy temperaments, or dogs with serious defects or disqualifications addressed in their breed standards.
Upon the sale of a dog/puppy, we will provide the buyer with:
1. Properly executed Registration Certificate
2. Diet record (Verbally) & sample.
3. Innoculation and Parasite Control Record.
We refrain from releasing any puppy until it is at least six (6) weeks old, or eight (8) weeks old if the puppy is to be shipped.
We avoid encouraging buyers regarding the breeding potential of a dog/puppy. We believe breeding purebred pitbulls involve certain responsibilities and we do not take it lightly.
As a matter of ethics, we pledge to help educate the general public as well as to assist the novice breeder.
