Pitbull breeders
Choosing from different Red nose pitbulls
Pitbull breeders American Pit Bull Terrier breeders often have very different specialties in the type of pit bulls that they breed. For example, some emphasize breeding to control the behavior or temperament. Others emphasize physical strength of the breed and appearance, while other will breed specific qualities such as Blue Pit Bulls displaying a bluish grey coat.
The reputation of the breeder is obviously important to consider when purchasing a dog in general and may be more important when purchasing a pit bull. When looking to purchase from a breeder, whether private or public, it is important to be certain as to the breeder’s knowledge on the purpose for which the dog is going to be purchased.
To successfully buy a show dog for example, breeders that specialize in show dogs would be the best option. Proper health precautions should be taken both by the potential buyer as well as the breeder. Hip dysplasia is a major concern with pitbulls, and necessary precautions should be taken to rule out the concern prior to purchasing the dog.
Health problems, demeanor and other characteristics of the offspring are often the result of common characteristics shown by the parents. Thus, it is an advantage to see the parents of the offspring and to inquire about their health and temperament among other qualities. Whether or not the dog is purebred is key as well as whether the dog fits into the norms of the pitbull breed. For example, the breed averages between 20-65 lbs for the standard. Finding a breeder that meets your needs for a dog and also meets your needs in terms of being comfortable with them often means looking at several breeders.
A very positive sign as to the morality and quality of the breeder is for the breeder to make a good effort in finding a good home for the dogs that are available. This means that the breeder may ask questions such as the space available for the dog as well as the size of family, for example. Socialization should begin with the breeder, and the method should be checked by the potential owner for effectiveness and thoroughness. A pitbull puppy should not be taken away before it is eight weeks old. Weaning and enough time with siblings will be covered by this time and will make the transition of the puppy much easier.
Although most pit bulls are very kind and loving (assuming proper socialization and training), some do have very aggressive tendencies that can lead to dangerous and horrible events. It remains the responsibility of the owner to properly train and socialize the dog so that it is safe for the owner, the dog, and the public in general as well. www.petsmart.com , www.amazon.com, and www.sitstay.com, among others, provide many resources including manuals and equipment that facilitates proper training and socialization.
