Not sure what you are asking here? Are you here trying to find other pits to breed them with? And why???
I love the pits. But you and others breeding need to realize that pits are being banned in areas all over the US. No, I'm not for that . I'm in rescue. 1000s of the bully breeds are being put down every minute of every day simply because they are a pit, rottie, etc. There are not enough good pit owners. We are running out of counties where they can live and not in fear of being picked up.
Yeah, we just really need more litters being produced. Rescues are full of pits, those that will accept them. It is hard to find decent homes. The bad press pits are getting is making people leery of adopting.
Rescues are still handling a overwhelming pit population from Katrina. New Orleans was 98% pit bull population, many dog aggressive for whatever reason. Most Heartworm Positive too.
And you want to breed more? NEED to? So you can pay your bills. Because they certainly don't NEED to breed.

Please don't. Just spay/neuter. There are SO many pit bulls in rescues and shelters, that have little chance of being adopted. Why lessen that chance, by breeding? Pit bulls have probably the hardest time finding a good home.....let the ones who are already alive, have that chance at a forever home. Don't steal it away from them, because you feel the desire to make some cash and breed your dogs.

If you have to ASK, then NO - you should NOT be breeding them. It isn't the bed of roses you'd expect. It doesn't make you money (ever price a canine c-section delivery? Shots for a whole litter?) and it takes more to be an "animal breeder" than animals with corresponding genetalia. Have you tested them for hereditary diseases? Are they from different bloodlines or closely related? Don't breed your dogs. Spay/nueter them.

First, do your homework before you breed. There is a lot involved including financial expense to breeding. In some cases, you have more expense than return on the sale of puppies. Puppies are messy and require a lot of socializing before going to new homes. Ask yourself this, "Do I have the time to care for a litter of puppies for 8 or more weeks?", "What will I do if the puppies don't sell?" One place to look for answers is yahoo groups you can join to ask other breeders (long time breeders are the most informative). I'm a breeder and its a lot of work. First and foremost is to have quality dogs, "purebred" does not mean quality.

DO NOT BREED. Leave it to the people eho know what they are doing and are trying to better the breed. Do not be another backyard breeder. There are enough dogs, pitties especially, that are killed everyday because they are unwanted. Don't add to it.

Just because they are pure breds (not full breeds), doesn't make them breed quality. If you are not licensed - DO NOT ADD TO THE UNWANTED PET POPULATION!! SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR ANIMALS.
Again and again, just because you have two pure bred animals does NOT make them breed quality.
LEAVE BREEDING TO THE PROFESSIONALS. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

Just what we need, more pit bulls that are killing people because they are being discarded to run wild when the owners no longer want them. The shelters are full of pit bulls that are unadoptable in the Houston area, and they are having to be put down.
