Please don't jump on my back till you read on. He as very good blood lines and a good temperment, he is my service dog. The female is to and as good temperment. The trainer of my dog wants the puppies to train for service dogs because mine is so good at his job. She gives the trained dogs free to those who needs them. She would let me keep two puppies But I wouldn't becasue that would take away dogs need ed by other people like me. she dose not want to use pund dogs not sure of how they were treated and how it effected them. They are4 not going to ban pits here beacuse there as not been pit attacks for 10 years and no deaths in 20. The owner of a pit bull kennel todl her he could not think of a better sire than my Batman. What do you think.

Like my batman they will be used by people in wheel chairs and there is a K-9 policeman who like to see about a pit for that use. The ones who don't make will be sold to good families who will have to sign a contract that staes if they can not keep them they will come back to me or my friend. They will have to pass a baackround check and put up a nonrefunable 100. that will go to the ASPCA or a pit bull rescue. I have thought this thur.

I think its wonderful that someone is taking the responsibility to properly train a high-energy dog. You would be doing a wonderful service to someone in need. And hopefully the service dogs open others minds to the fact that Pit bulls aren't problem breeds, people are just bad owners. (not you obviously)

As you expected, my initial answer was going to be absolutely not. However, with his background and training, I don't see why not. Does your trainer train very many at one time? Are you sure the puppies will all have the same opportunities your Batman has had?
How will this affect your dog? If it makes him aggressive in any way, I would say to never breed him again, and have him neutered. Remember that anything a pit bull does bad will be magnified greatly over what any other dog does in the minds of people. You do not want to jeopardize your relationship with him just to breed him.

This is a decision you should not make lightly. Yes it may be for a good cause but allowing your dog to be a stud can give him serious attitude changes. Stud dogs are vastly more likely to spray-mark their territory, become distracted by a ***** in heat (even if she's miles away) and can cause an increase in aggression, to name a few. Is your trainer going to be able to help you through these changes in your dog's personality? Living with a dog who has been used as a stud takes a lot more work than one that hasn't. I would suggest discussing this with your trainer and perhaps finding other local breeders who can give you more information and support if you decide to do this.

Your question made me smile! There are so many dog horror stories that I love to hear that others are discovering the intelligence of this breed. In my experience, they are as smart as poodles with less barking. I would also love to know what type of service these dogs are performing!
My only concern in this - is not all dogs can be service dogs, what will happen to those that "flunk out" of training? If they will be found loving homes with people that understand this breed, I say go for it!

Oh, do it! You couldn't have a better situation! These dogs would get to help all pit bulls with their service... If more people saw them in that light it would help a lot! I can only hope to find an area like you live as I'd like to have a pit bull rescue later on... Best of luck to you!!! :-)

Nothing wrong with a responsible owner breeding, and it sounds like you are doing it for good reasons. I assume you are aware that using your dog for stud may make him harder to handle, but it sounds like you can deal with it.
I personally do not take deposits. I don't want the buyers to change their minds about getting a puppy, but get one anyway because they have money involved. I would rather not take money at all, or refund it, than have a pup in a home where they don't really want it. Something to think about.

Sounds like you thought it out very well and have a very good reason to breed him. And it might be a good thing to do. BUT, I hope you're prepared for the fact that that he may begin lifting his leg on everything in your house? And maybe mounting your kids or visitors? And being more aggressive in general? Once Pandora's box is opened, you can't close it again, if you know what I mean.
If you DO breed him, make sure you DON'T do it at your home. That would make problems even MORE likely.

I say go for it. I'm not opposed to responsible breeding. If it's for a good cause then you should do it. Do your research, make sure they will be service animals and keep in touch with the adoptees.
Good Luck

You can get a lot of money out of them dogs. You should get the 2nd 4th and 6th of the litter. Sell them. Some go for as much as 500$.

Go for it, it isn't going to cost you a thing and give your Batman a little fun. I believe that animals are how they are due to how we treat them. Pitbulls only got a bad name from bad people who train them to be mean. Good Luck.
