I dont disagree with that statement. One of my dogs is a shelter rescue, and she came knowing commands and everything. But shelters are a gamble when involving children. Its a lot harder to retrain a dog then it is to teach him in the first place.

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.

Because the OP is asking if they are "pits". The thread was created with the intention of determining whether these dogs are in fact pit bulls. No vendetta against mixes, just honest answers to the question of the litter's parentage.

I agree that those pups shouldn't have been called pitbulls, however, they look to be good family dogs. I also agree that they are way too young to be taken away from their mom. I have to disagree with the not charging part though. If my dogs weren't spayed and somehow had pups, I would charge something for them and screen just to make sure they go to good homes. I always tell people that first and formost to screen really well before handing a pet over to anyone. I myself wouldn't worry if your pup is a full blooded pitbull or not, if that's the dog you want. But I would make sure that the person selling it doesn't make you pay full price for a mix. In the meantime, when you get your puppy, enjoy him/her!

and you would be in a walmart parking lot in a week. no one wants to buy a mix, the only reason they are even adopted out is because of the feeling they get off "rescue".
