Is your pit white with a red "liver" nose? Red nosed pits aren't as healthy as black nosed bulls. I don't remember why. I encountered this info in one of my books, or while searching on the 'net. I would google this info, because you might need to know what the health complications are for the dogs with red noses. I know it's odd, but somehow the gene for this illness shows up in red nosed pits.

First of all, there are a few basic things that need to be asked when it comes down to even contemplating breeding a dog.

These questions are:

- Is your dog registered through a reputable registry (UKC or ADBA in the case of a APBT)?

- Is/will your dog titled in conformation and working events?

- Will this dog be health tested (hips, heart, patellas, elbows, cardiac & thyroid are the basics) through the OFA or PennHip?

If you answered no to any one of those three basic questions then breeding should be out of the question. Unfortunately, pit bulls (APBTs, ASTs and SBTs are commonly called this even though it is incorrect) and pit mixes are, sadly, a dime a dozen in many local shelters due to heavy overbreeding by unqualified individuals and dogs who were not the peak of the standards set forth by reputable registries.

Regardless of if your dog is purebred or not, breeding is not something to take lightly since you would be responsible for the lives of the puppies that your dog and female of your choosing produces throughout their lives.

It also means that every puppy produced is a life in the shelter (more than likely a pit bull) that will go unadopted and likely face being euthanized.

It is also much healthier for your male dog to be neutered if he will never be bred since he won't lust after females in season or run the risk of cancer and other problems intact males are prone to.

Please, do the right thing and have your male dog neutered. There are many programs out there that will help if it's a financial burden. For example, www.pbrc.net.

why do you think we need more pit bulls in this country?

I am sure that yours is nice....talk to any pit owner and they will tell you the same thing. However, statistics show that the majority of pits at some point either have or will turn on humans at some point.

I am a vet tech. I don't know if you know how many times I have seen other animals come in to get sewn up because a pit used it as a chew toy? Countless. I have a friend who just bred her rednose pitbull. I tried talking her out of it but she wouldn't listen.

I wish you would go get her spayed. Most cities now across America are starting to make it very difficult for ppl to own pits. I know where I live the pit owners now have to have $500,000 bond on insurance just for owning the breed and they have a $500.00 a year reg. fee for the city. Plus they are not allowed to breed the dog or acquire more. New people who do not own them may not get one. This is in response to several ppl getting chewed on in the last several months. One pit owner needed almost 700 stitches and the cops had to shoot the dog while he was latched on his owners arm. What did the owner do to the dog to provoke such an attack? He was an elderly gentleman who happened to be happily sleeping at the time. He had no history of abusing the dog in any way.

If I didn't change your mind about breeding her, please wait untill she is at least 2 years old before you breed her. She is about the age of a 12 year old girl right now. Old enough? Yes? Ready? no.

DON'T BREED! Here are some reasons why -- all these reasons are waiting in the Los Angeles animal shelters to be adopted -- and if they aren't, they will lose their lives.
http://www.laanimalservices.com/adoptsearchphotos.htm

We don't need more dogs, honestly. If you live in Pittsburg, they'll neuter your Pitt for free:

Now why would we offer free spays and neuters for this particular dog breed? We know that pit bulls make wonderful pets, if they are trained and treated properly. But we also know that many pit bulls fall into the hands of bad owners and become part of the dogfighting circles that our humane investigators try so hard to stop. And we know that there are many pit bulls already homeless in shelters, in desperate need of finding loving, responsible homes.

Pit bull litters can be very large, often producing 8-12 puppies or more. For every new puppy born, these dogs have less of a chance of leaving the shelters. We want to help pit bull owners who want to be responsible with the breed to do just that. For more information, call our ABC Spay/Neuter Program at 1.800.SPAY PGH!

Every person in every household should own 7 dogs and 9 cats.
Answer: True. Then we wouldn’t have any homeless animals, but a family of four would be sharing the house with 28 dogs and 36 cats! This is the ratio of dogs and cats born each day to the number of people born each day. But since it is hardly feasible for everyone to do this, spay and neuter reduces the pet population and the need for homes.

There are 6–8 million animals that enter shelters each year; 3–4 million are adopted; and 3–4 million are euthanized. Spaying and neutering can reduce these numbers.
Answer: True. There are many places in the country that have reduced their homeless animal and euthanasia numbers dramatically because of spay and neuter.

Why would you want to breed? You do not even know how to spell pit bull...it is American Pit Bull Terrier, APBT! It is NOT pitt!
We do not need any more puppies in this world, especially pits. You can go down to any area shelter and find pits that need loving homes and some solid basic training. These puppies you produce, what if they get in to the wrong hands and become victims of today's breed bias world?
You are not responsible, for you have not neutered your male.
You need to get off your high-horse and neuter your dog, NOW!

I went to the shelter by my house yesterday to donate some blankies. In the dog kennel were about 50-60 dogs. Wanna know how many were Pits? 32.

So, if you figure the cost of responsible breeding, you could just go adopt all the Pits from my shelter and find homes for them for about the same amount of money as caring for a litter.

Think you're going to make money off this litter? You won't, not if you breed responsibly..

Is it an UKC champion in conformation? Does it have champion parents? What genetic diseases have you tested it for? American Pit Bull Terriers arn't registerable in the AKC, so I assume its registered by the UKC, if it isn't registered in the UKC, and if you arn't going to show it, neuter that baby right now! We don't need more puppies bred by irrsponsible owners overcrowding the shelters.

Its really hard work, and im genuinely serious. Im not telling you what to do, like some other people, but it takes lots of time out of youer day form doing other things. I wouldnt reccomend it. I bred a shitzu and she had 5 pups, they cost us over 800 dollars for shots, some medicine, vitamins and all that other crap. We sold two of them to loving homes for 250$ and 350$ two of them are going to my tio, and one were keeping, we havent made anyhting NEAR what we spent on those boogers. Yes, theyre cute, but by the time theyre all gone, you wont want to see another puppy in your life. LOL. Umm, and theres lots of sick abandoned ones in the pound, and unfortunatley they are mostly pitbulls. Save yourself some money and time, dont do it. :)

whoa whoa whoa. what are you thinking??? i dont know where you live but do you know how many pitts are dying because they are becoming banned in lots of places. lots of these poor dogs are ending up in shelters and getting killed.trust me i work in that kind of field to know. i cant tell you how much this breaks my heart to have them be put down they are my favorite dog breed. i know your going to do it anyways but this is my thought on this matter. just think about the potential grandkids of your dog that could very possibly get put to sleep.
