Pit Bulls are the most preferred dog in America, in spite of the bad press they’ve been receiving lately due to the aggressive nature of some of their clan. Pit Bulls are dogs that know and understand love. So, if you can provide affection to your pet, then a Pit Bull can make a fine companion.

Pit Bulls can be purchased from breeders as well as rescue shelters. It is infinitely better to adopt a rescue dog. Dogs in rescue shelters are taken from the streets where they’ve been abandoned by heartless owners, or from people who have become too occupied to care for their dogs.

There are Pit Bulls who are being put to sleep just because some of their breed have been involved in violent incidents. Rescue shelters also save dogs from such euthanasia and house them until some affectionate owner adopts them. Read more

Pit bull Breeder Types: “The puppy peddler”

As we talked about earlier this week, there are many different types of pitbull breeders. I would like to bring you to terms with a breeder type called the Puppy Peddler.

When a breed becomes popular and in high demand, many breeders see a chance to do as many breeding’s as they can to make money selling the puppies. Some can have a very large operation and loose track of what dogs are breeding with each other. When things get out of hand like this a process called inbreeding can take place. If you don’t know what inbreeding is here is the definition: Inbreeding is breeding between close relatives. This can cause numerous problems because inbreeding can cause a dog to have so many other issues.

Other results of inbreeding are:

• reduced fertility both in litter size and sperm viability

• slower growth rate
