My brats (AB-Johnson and Johnson/Scott Bloodlines, Red-nose pit from my first litter 6 years ago, puppies from my first litter of ABs...just a mixture of my dogs and a couple litters they had)

Don't care for the clipped ears. Gorgeous coloring though

OMG, I'm so excited!! Ok, one of my boy's friends has a white Pit, she is in heat and they want to breed her with my Rufus!! I get the pick of the litter if we do it. So I may be getting a pup after a while. She is 2 and this would be her first litter, anyone have any advice on how to make this go smoothly??

Make sure both dogs pass all the pre breeding health tests at the very least.

Aww...the infamous pit thread!

I agree with evilyardgnome. Pits are dangerous dogs. Yes a little toy poodle is far more agressive, but you are in absolute denial of the truth if you think a pit is less dangerous then a toy poodle. Id rather walk into a room with 100 little yappy ass ankle biting toy poddles then one pit that I dont know. They are powerful animals and you must respect that.

Am I pit basher? Hell no! I love them. Im a pit owner basher...99% of pit owners are either thugs who treat their dogs like **** OR naive people who think their dog could do no wrong.

To own a pit...or any other large powerful dog an owner must always be aware of his dogs POTENTIAL to cause serious injury or even in many cases...death.

Exactly right. In the past few years we have had 2 children killed by pit bulls in my area. In one instance 2 pits attacked a boy riding a bicycle, dragged him off of it and mauled him to death after escaping their backyard.

You start with a potentially dangerous animal and put it in the hands of someone irresponsible and disaster occurs--for the owner, the dog, and of course the victim. Pits can be great dogs but they seem to have a procilvity for being acquired by people who have no business owning one, who do not investigate the bloodlines of their particular pup throughly before getting it and/or do not know how to train it. Sadly, a large part of the problem is the deliberate breeding for agressivness that has infiltrated so many bloodlines.

I am sure the folks here have wonderful animals. I love dogs and have always had one but we can't ingnore that fact that pits are illegal many places for good reasons--reasons pretty much traceable to human, not canine, behavior. Congrats on on some beautiful dogs in this thread.
