Since soooooo may lately seem to be asking questions about breeders, I thought this would be a good post. I just did this quickly and the links have GREAt info
Finding a good breeder 101
Going to shows & working events as well as word of mouth are the best ways to find a good breeder IMO
But before you even start looking you should study the standard and really look into different lines and decide what qualities/traits are exactly what you are looking for .
Decide if you want a show, working, or strictly companion dog.
I suggest this so you have things set in your mind and are not as easily swayed into the first cute litter you come across because sometimes those little faces can be irresistible and you need to put things in perspective so you really get what you want
Study the standards for the org that your pup will be papered with whether it be UKC, ADBA for APBTs or AKC if you are looking for an Amstaff or any combo of those orgs if the pup is to be dual or triple registered

You may have to travel out of state or be put on a waiting list as well depending on what you are looking for and the availability of pups when you are ready
Be prepared to answer a ton of questions and also have ones in mind that you want answered as well
