the owner sends me a pic of her every few days, they take the pups inside to play with them for a bit and take pics for me

She looks young, how old will she be when you get her ? They do look mixed,maybe you should search for a breeder ?

Oh, thank dog. Sounds like a stupid question, but I see people getting pups that young all the time. Gives me an aenurism

They both looked mixed to me. Mom's head is wrong and dads ears are wrong. But I believe in general that you can get purebred dogs that do not have papers. Dexter has no papers but meets all the breed standards and so did his parents for an American pit bull terrier. I also have a Boston terrier with no papers but no one would ever question that she is a purebred. I also have an akc chocolate lab and while he is a beautiful example of his breed he has tiny white spot on his chest which in labs is rare but acceptable and called a St. John's dog mark so people question me on his lines more than the other two. It all depends on looks. If they meet the requirements it's a safe bet they are pure but I don't believe either of those dogs meet the proper specs. I prefer my pit not to have papers it makes it easier for certain places to enforce bsl which is another reason why many purebred ABPTs don't have papers because the parents or grandparents were not papered to get around stupid laws.

So you are seriously going to pay money for an outdoor raised 6 week old mutt? Neither of those dogs look purebred anyways. Dogs should not be sold at 6 weeks, this is illegal in many places, they should stay with the litter until 8. But this way your byb can skip some more basic care and don't have to clean up much mess, you on the other hand get a mouthy problem pup. I hope you found a good trainer and puppy class so we don't see this dog in the shelter in 8 months too, or maybe she'll just be pregnant herself by then. Keep that cycle going.

There is nothing wrong with looking to get a cute pup but know what you're getting. You just bought a mutt nothing wrong with that (except that you bought it from a byb). Please do me a favor and don't call that puppy a "pit bull" because it's not and I know you probably don't get why but stick around on this site and you'll understand. Without papers you'll never know what this dog actually is or what bloodline he is. All you will know is that it is not an American Bully, An American pit bull Terrier or any actual breed of dog. I'm stressing this point to you because a lot of problems come from people buying these types of mutts from backyard breeders.

Not always that simple. People hang papers all the time, quite frequently in my area. I say buy from a REPUTABLE breeder, one with a proven record. I see people with papers all the time for dogs that you can make a pretty good guess they ARE NOT what they are purported to be. I'd rather have a dog from a reputable breeder with NO papers than from just anybody that has papers. That is, if I really cared how "pure" the dog is.

In any case, that is an adorable little pup!

looks like the breeder is trying to push them as christmas puppys and is cutting corners by letting them go Dec 23rd at 6 weeks rather then doing the responsible thing and holding them even an extra week. You would be better off in the long run getting the pup after christmas at 7 weeks in age then 6 . personally I have seen nicer looking dogs in our breed specific rescue here then what that mom looks like. But to each there own , if this is just a pet then do as you like. Just remember that pups are usually always CUTE , but looking at the parents is that what you want as a finished outcome when he/she is grown up? best of luck with your pup hope you stick around here and do some reading.

Dad could be a pit mix, mom could be a shelter mutt. I wouldn't pay money for a puppy from this breeding. That just encourages them to repeat the breeding in 6 months to a year. I don't want to take away any happiness the OP might get from their new puppy. However, casual breeding does not preserve or improve the APBT. In fact, it is detrimental to both the breed and to dogs generally. There should be a good reason to make a litter, not just selling puppies. That's my 2 cents. I wish the OP all the best if they decide to go through with this.

Usually when a person is faced with reason, they decide to dig in their heels and reinforce their opinion. I would say take time and avoid buying a mutt. Don't be the one that asks if it looks like a pure APBT, only to say later on it doesn't matter when confronted with the reality that you supported a home based puppy mill who makes a living built on the backs of malformed and possibly HA mixed bred dogs. But as they say "A hard head makes a soft behind". Enjoy your puppy.

Wow, why all the vendettas against "non-pure" pups? I can see if the seller is labeling them as pure pit and charging full price(1k plus). But sometimes accidents happen. Are they supposed to abandon those mutts somewhere? Jaxx isn't pure by breed standard. But that isnt stopping him from being a great dog. OP, you have to take into acct, that yes maybe the parents might have 'pit' in them, but you got to weigh the price of what you are really paying for. If you truly want an AmStaff, or APBT, then wait for the right one. If you just want a family addition, and was just asking an opinion, then there is nothing wrong with those pups. As long as you arent getting duped into paying huge amounts of cash for a "pit"

@GoingPostal, that was a little more hostility than needed. Just saying.

Firehazard

6wks.. ?? they should have teeth and be weaned from the mother.. DO they ? Are they? If I plan on selling pups 6wks is the open window.

he couldve gone to a shelter and not only had paid less but wouldve gotten shots and a vet exam... if those pups were anything but free then he got ripped off.
