You said you were a breeder, now you say you're not. Whatever. The point is if you want a Pit stay away from breeders. They're almost all total scumbags, don't encourage or support them because the dogs in the shelter need you far worse than that dope fiend needs another dime bag, and most of them are fine dogs looking for a good home.

I have never said I was a breeder...I have never ever breed a dog. Period. I said I have raised some Pits and that is all I have said. Most of the dogs in shelters are just called Pits and are actually just mutts that look like Pits. They are all lumped into one category and it's just too bad. The breeders you are referring to are not breeders, but puppy mills, which should be avoided at all costs. The actual breed of American Pitbull Terrier is an established well defined breed that is recognised by many kanine registries. Most of the dogs that are in the hands of crank smokers that beat their wives are probably not from well defined bloodlines in the first place. They are inbred to get as many pups as possible and are genetically predisposed to all sorts of conditions, including aggression due to inbreeding.
I am in no way saying not to adopt a dog from a pound, but you best be careful at best. If it truly is a Pitbull that was bred for aggression, you may not have trouble immeadiatly. Luckily, most 'Pitbulls' from shelters are in fact not Pitbulls.
