You want to be careful when choosing the breeder of any type of dog, but if you are looking for a pit bull for sale then you should take extra caution and check out the breeder thoroughly. It is no secret that pit bulls are temperamental and quite possibly dangerous when they have not been breed for the right characteristics. When unethical or untrained breeders start breeding pit bulls it is very easy for things to go wrong. I am sure you wouldn't want to put yours or your family's lives at risk by purchasing a potentially dangerous animal. Following are some of the things that you absolutely must do before answering those pit bulls for sale ads.

  1. Visit the breeder's place of business.
    1. Check to see it the place is clean and odor free.
    2. Are the dogs well socialized?
    3. Do you feel comfortable around the dogs?

  1. Get references for people who have purchased dogs from them before.
    1. Visit the dog if at all possible.
    2. Are the dogs friendly to strangers?
    3. Is there more than one dog in the house?
    4. Are the dogs around children?

  1. Check the breeder's reputation with your local humane society.
    1. Check with the officers directly.
    2. Ask volunteers what they know about the breeder.
    3. Never adopt a pit bull from a shelter.

When you make your visit to the breeder's place of business the main thing you are looking for is the interaction between the dogs as a group. Pit bulls that have a tendency to attack humans will always be overly aggressive toward other dogs and the breeder will keep them separated. If the dogs are kept in individual cages then there is a very good chance that this breeder is either inexperienced at breeding for the right traits, or specifically breeding for aggressiveness. I would caution you to stay away from these animals and most certainly don't buy one. If the dogs are barking at each other and you feel uncomfortable then leave as quickly as you can, these are not dogs you would want to bring home to your family.

When you get the references for people who have purchased dogs from the breeder, make the effort to actually visit the dogs. Interact with the dogs and take note of how comfortable you feel with them. All dogs regardless of their breed take a little time to warm up to strangers but it really shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. If after that amount of time the dog is still leery of your presence then they have not been properly socialized and you should start looking for a different breeder.

When checking with your local humane society it is always best to talk with volunteers, they usually know all of the information you are looking for and are under no obligation to keep any secrets. People love to share their knowledge and if you find the right volunteer you will get all of the information that the humane society has on that particular breeder. If the humane society knows nothing about your particular breeder then it is possible that they are a backyard breeder without the proper knowledge to breed pit bulls for sale.

I’m so tired of reading and listening to bull shit about bullies! They are one of the best dog breeds around! Look, if people don’t know how to handle their dog, no matter which breed or mix it is, the dog will misbehave. Just to make my point, let’s look at some breeds and their issues… Poodles (toys through standards): when not exercised they entertain themselves… by destroying whatever’s in the house/the yard. It is in their breed to have energy and to have brains that need stimulation… they’re hunting dogs! When not socialized they are aggressive towards other dogs. It’s in their breed to be aloof and protective of their owner! If you won a gunning dog, you better exercise them… it’s in their breed to run. If you own a sight hound you better keep them on a leash… it’s in their breed to chase a lure (even if it’s the neighbors’ cat). If you own a guard dog or a Bully, you better train them from a young age… they are powerful dogs. Now lets look at Chihuahuas (and other miniature dogs). In my many years of experience with dogs, I have never seen as many full out attacks on humans/other animals with large dogs as I have with minies! Though for some reason, that’s completely beyond me, no one notices it when you’re barked at by a mean Chihuahua or “nipped” by one! It's NOT cute and it's NOT a “nip” damn it, it’s a bite! Just because the snout is not as big or strong, it’s still a BITE! So why don’t we all start educating and disciplining our dogs no matter what breed they are. And why don’t we all start getting on to owners with badly behaving animals, no matter how big their dogs are!

Little-known facts about Pit Bulls: Pit Bulls serve as therapy/service dogs. The Chako Rescue Association has Pit Bull therapy dogs in Texas, Utah and California. Helen Keller even had a Pit Bull as her canine companion and helper. Cheyenne and Dakota are a team of hard-working Search-and-Rescue Pit Bulls in Sacramento, California. They play an important role in their community by locating missing people in conjunction with the local Sheriff. In their off-duty hours, they do charity work as therapy dogs. Petey, the faithful dog on the TV show, The Little Rascals, was a Pit Bull. He spent countless hours with children day after day and never hurt anyone. He was one of the most intelligent Hollywood dogs of all time. There are quite a few celebrities who have Pit Bulls as members of their family including: Rosie Perez, The Crocodile Hunter, Judd Nelson, Usher, Alicia Silverstone, Cassandra Creech, Sinbad, John Stuart, Amy Jo Johnson, Linda Blair, Vin Diesel, and Bernadette Peters. Pit Bulls are one of the most stable people-friendly dogs in existence. The National Canine Temperament Testing Association tested 122 breeds, and Pit Bulls placed the 4th highest with a 95% passing rate!

I WORK AT AN animal shelter and i dont think all pits are mean or agressive... ive only worked there a year and only saw maybe 4 pits that were agresive or just kennel stressed... if i go in there kennel to check for adoption they all seem fine and very loving... even the really big red nose pits that have attacks on their record... but saddly not all pit bulls go into adoptions. a lot are PTS for reputation but we always try our best to examine them and test them.

anonamys  says:

so basically your saying that guns don't kill people people kill people just about dogs. ive raised about 20 pitt bulls and sold pits at any age and never has any complaints on behavior. the problem is if you look at the stats the death related dog attacks there are about 10 different types of dogs accept that pits are at the top of the list and are far ahead. so people dont realise that most pits back in the day were bred for hunting, and its natural for them to hunt. but if your train your dogs correctly we shouldn't be on the top of that list.

Well I have four kids and 4 American Pitbull terriers. I have been raising or around this breed since I was 3 years old and I am now 28. I have been bitten 1 time when I had my dog all hyped up and as soon as I yelled he released and I was not hurt. He loved me to much to hurt me. The only problems with pitbulls is the owners who take advantage of that love from the and their desire to please their owners. Some people take advantage of this and use them for purposes other than companianship and fun. They are a real joy to be around. Really the good temperment dogs are into whatever the owner is in my opinion. If I am wanting to lay around and be lazy my dog is right at my feet doing the same, and on the other hand if I want to run 3 miles that day he is just as game to do that as well. All they want to do is please us no matter what that is, so dont hate the dog hate the bad owners. I dont believe its all the breeders either cause I know some good breeders who just sold a few dogs to bad owners as well.

i have four pitbulls they are not aggressive at all the only reason why pits are aggressive is because the way they are raised and the people that do raisre themn like that need to fuck off and die because thats who is giving them the bad repuation so i just want to say thanks because of you my loving dogs have to be let down because you guys are stupid

bruce  says:

they dont know enough information to state this "fact" that makes it seem like all pitbulls are mean and viscious...i mean i konw some are but its because stupid people like to fight there dogs, nd yea if one gets out they will attack...but no normal pearson would raise a dog this way. If u get a golden retriever nd give it to one of those people that train dogs to fight...it would be the exact same i promise. my pitbull is a blue brindle, shes never bit any one and my lil year nd half year old rides her around the house, takes treats right out of her mouth wen shes eating and takes toys form her, now please tell me she'll attack somebody. she is very protevtive nd she lets people know that dont get me wrong, but if u train and take care of a dog the right way then thats the way it will be. Stop putting up these false websites crtisizing all pitbulls becasue its not the cold hard facts, sorry.

bruce  says:

i mean really if ur gonna sit back and look at wat like probably 100 or less attacks a year from pitbulls and u cant even compare that to how many people own a pit, thats prolly like less than 3% of this breed are out of control. stupid people like this only look at the bad in thing obviously and hate there life, im sorry to have to be the one to tell u this but the world will never be a perfect place ever and if pits do become illeghal to have i promise there will be another breed to takes it place, theres always gonna be problems in this world and theres nothing you can do about it, but pitbulls are not a problem so id suggest you finda better problem to solve. and stop talking about something you know nothing a bout thank you!!

i have had lots of pitbulls! they are the best dog i have ever owned. my boxer and pitbull saved me from a house robbery! they cornered the robber who had a knife and didnt even attack him!! you shouldnt punish the dog because some dumb people have bred them wrong or RAISED the poor baby wrong as pitbull owners say dont punish the breed punish the deed! and do ur research right before you judge or actually meet and interact with one first

all dogs should be treated like children. Like children, if not treated right might turn and defend themselves. It is how you raise your dog. for example, you trauned or teached your child to play football, that's what they will learn. treat a child badly, and they will never forget.sooner or later they will come back for revenge. Pitbulls are great pets and dogs. If you treat them right and show them love, they will show the same to you or anybody, because that is how they were brought up. Its is the owner who decided to get a pitbull, so they should know all the facts about their dog. It is the peoples fault. Not the dog. keep pitbulls. Just like there is good and bad people, there are good and bad dogs to.

I have 3 Pit Bulls :o) They visit the nursing homes here in Kentucky, one is a therapy dog. Very well Loved and Adored.. It's sad you dont know how Loving these animals is... Maybe you will think different one day I hope. Do you know how many people who has died from horses, cars planes boats. Should we make all horses into soap? should we junk all cars planes, and sink all boats? Its sad, Lady white and brindle Pit Bull has helped my son to walk who has cerebral palsey, when he was just a child. She also woke him up when he would stop breathing, she was his best friend, If he was still around to write a comment on here I know he would, But he went to heaven at a very young age of 18. Have a blessed every day..

I live in a very cultural neighborhood and i get the same reaction from all races when i tell them my dogs are pits. my dogs have made several people come to love the breed.

I has nothing to do with what color you are!! the truth of the matter is pitties were raised for fighting over thousands of years. that is their breed. I love pitties and anyone I have ever came into contact with were the nicest dogs. This site is to let people know the horrors of getting a bad batch of pitties. I think the smaller the dog the meaner they are but if you have a breeder who is useless then you may just get a mean pitty I know just looking at this page he has informed people how to choose a good pitt bull. So why your all here bitching is beyond me. you should be thanking him for showing you what to look for in a breeder before you buy a dog. that goes for poms too!!!!

I thank you for putting this information about the breeders up.

i own alot of pit bulls.... they are not all mean in fact over 85% of pits are family dogs, hunting dogs ect. it is the way that you treat them and raise them. if you want a dog that listens and is a nice dog you have to be sturn but you dont hav to make them mean. none of mine would EVER hurt a fly let alone a human. and most of my dogs come from a fighting bloodline. dont get me wrong i hate dog fighting. i am just saying it is how you treat the dogs as to how they are going to act. i hate when people try to make the whole breed look bad. i am one of those people that is going to prove those other people wrong just wait and see....

i have six pits that range from 9 months to 5 years old and all of them are or were hunting dogs and everone of them love people. i have a dalmation that has bitten two people already and he was suppose to be a house pet. untill we got rid of him so any one says a pit is bad needs to own one first befor they can say anthing bad about a pit. my son and my newphaw learned how to walk by holdin on to my ol;dest pit zeus's tail and he has never once tryed to hurt them when my son would fall he would stop and help him up and all of my pis except the puppy sleep in his room with him on the floor and one in his bed so any one has somethen to say bout a pit needs to own a pit first and not one that was breed by its on blood meaning no incest so when yu have done that then come say somethen bad about them.. all pits need is love and care alot of it and then you willl have a great dog just tlc but thats with any dog though look up what dog has betean more people. dont say pits are a bad dog cause there is no such thing as a mean dog or a bad dog iam sorry i mean breed.get it right befor you talk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How sad! You all sound so stupid fighting over this junk..The guy who posted this blog, or page, is just trying to help weed out the bad! You all are in denial..Someone just got through saying that Chihuahas can be vicious just as much as the other dog...and that is this posters point..He wants to get it across how to recognize a pit with socialization problems that could lead to a potential problem down the line..That is all!! I appreciate it because I have two pitties..and this puppy I just brought home is showing major signs of aggresion. I've got my eye on him though, and he came from a home where the mother was caged up and seperated from the other two dogs that were also tied up and separated from each other..I didn't think anything of it then, but now it has me taking things into consideration.

you are obviously an ugly person inside and probably outside too. I currently have 11 pit bulls and they are all gorgeous and just want to love and be loved. You have no idea what you are talking about! Why don't you put yourself down and end your misery?!!?

People need to realize that by stereotyping pits theyre being racist. That shits not ok in any way. In saying this im also talking to the fag who said white people are scared of pits because we dont know how to handle em. I agree people cant handle em but mother fucker I'm white and I guarantee the pits that come out of my dogs are better trained than yours. To the fag who started this in saying pits are a problem and not to get one from a shelter. You should rot in hell. You are a waste of a human. Pits are one of the best dogs out there and by far the most loyal. If they attacked those people it was either the owners fault for being a straight up dumbass or the peoples fault for pissing the dog off. News flash for a long time the cocker spaniel was at the top of the bite list so if your gonna bitch dont fucken be racist about it!

I have a pitbull that IS mean. We have taken him to the main pitbull trainer/rescuer in our area, and she said he is dog and human aggressive. She advised us to euthanize him. I wasn't shocked by hearing it. I knew that could be a possibility based on his behavior towards us at home. That was why I took him to see her. Before you blame the dog, listen to the entire story. We got him when he was 5 weeks old. He was rescued from a rundown hotel room with the rest of his litter. He was being raised to be a fighting dog. Whoever was keeping him was starving them, making them bite and growl before they could have food. These baby puppies were being pinched, kicked, and hit and then rewarded with food that they desperately needed to survive for their aggressive behavior in return. He is almost a year old now. He is house trained. He has NEVER torn anything in our house up. He has never chewed on furniture. He lifted his leg in our house to pee ONE TIME, and when I corrected him he never did it again. He is smart. However, he is very stubborn, hyperactive, dominant, and all those other things that people don't like in pitbulls. We have had him neutered, have a crate to keep him in when we are not home, and have a muzzle that we put on him all the time outside- even if we are in our own backyard. He deserves to live. Who knows... in a year or two after working with him, we'll see how he does. My husband and I don't have children. I figure we are his best shot at getting to a point he can relax, quit trying to attack the world, and have a normal life.
