BSL will cull 4 U
IMO there are a lot of people out there that just want a pet and may feel a pit bull is for them. Whether they are right or wrong, I don't know but they will take the easiest route to get their "pet bull".......BYB. It's quick & cheaper. Most people wont do research so may not know the signs or questions to ask a breeder either good or bad. Example: I have a young troop that just purchased a "blue nose pit bull" (I know it's just color...roll with it) on craigslist. He lives in an apartment that doesn't allow pets over 25lbs. I asked him why did he get the dog he said, "I never had a dog and wanted one so I saw her & wanted her. He didn't ask about papers, temperament, or nothing....exchanged the cash, took the dog and left. He and his wife now are trying to find a new place because a neighbor dime'd them out to the management.
I believe if people didn't buy from BYB they would eventually move on to some other "hustle". Either way you look at it....BYB or shelter..dogs are going to lose their life. People have good intentions but may be doing more damage than good by acquiring sick dogs. That's why we need sites like this one to help educate. Ignorance is a disease & education is the antidote.
At the end of the day, regardless of 100% pure & papered or 50/50 mixed & unknown, stray or loose pet, the BSL doesn't care if it came from a reputable breeder, BYB or if it fell from the sky.... the BSL will "CULL" it if it resembles a "pit bull".
This is really a good topic.

People realize that some people spend money at a reputable breeder and then something happens (kid is now allergic, had to move, broke your back and can't walk and care for the dog) lots of "reasons" people feel excuse them from the commitment they made. Embarrassment is why they do not go back to the breeder. They promised and joked about how terrible some owners could be and they would NEVER do that, so they don't want to go back on their word, and drop at a shelter thinking it would not get back to the breeder.
My cousin works at a shelter and she has done the due diligence on some if she can to research the lines when she is supplied with and will contact the breeder herself and the breeder's have almost ALWAYS taken the dogs back, as they had said they would to begin with.
My point is, no matter what the ped, BYB, opps litter, tons of these pups are killed. I feel saving a dog is saving a dog. Some people suck, even ones who are cleared and felt would be a good home. You can't win the war, just each battle. And if one dog is saved and loved and not abused and the owner is responsible, I think its a great thing. No matter what the bloodline or history is or isn't... Your dog gets lost and is not chipped, he is just a pit bull type dog to the person who finds him, its not like he remembered to grab his papers before he got lost. I know that's not the question from the OP, but it seems like people have gotten into a non papered vs. papered fight instead of puppy mill vs. reputable breeder.

If you don't like what i have to say ignore my posts, easy enough isn't it?
But to comment on this particular post, i would rather "kill them all" than have every single dog out there go to thousands of homes where the people "taking care of them" have no clue how to handle ____ breed, ____ mix of breeds as well have little to no common sense.
But, did i say kill them all? No and you seem to be just picking my posts apart to your liking rather than taking time to understand them or have a mature, healthy debate here.
Got to love it..

Honestly I give you grief because of the way you state your opinion it comes of as rude .. you need to choose your words more appropriately instead of calling people fools and what not . Its rude and honestly no one wants to hear anyone's side of anything when they choose to debate like that .. I take it personally because I am a "sick" dog owner and I am no fool . I also used to work at a shelter and I know what happens in them and to the Cull dogs in them .. Ive seen alot of bad things , alot more then I have ever wished to see .. also being mature is not calling people names who do not agree with your side of things .. I didnt say anything negative about you until as you stated as a "whole" we are fools .. I wouldnt pick your post apart if there werent derogatory things in them that made me feel like I have to .. just because I havent spoken with you directly doesnt mean I cant see what you write on every thread and believe me there are alot of things I have wanted to say but havent until you started talking about something that I hold dear to my heart wheither you like it or not. maybe you dont see where im coming from maybe you do oh well .. like you said no harm done and things that are so personal get heated at times ..
And if you want to know why I can understand where sadie is coming from and not you .. its not that I dont get where you are coming from .. look at the way sadie was speaking to me and then you .. thats why I pick you apart .. thats why everytime I comment on anything you say its negative .. because you get what you put out and honestly all I ever see you say is negative things that can offend people and I dont think you realize it ..

Let me give my on topic spill. IMO if you walk into the situation & the yard is not taken care of, you have 3 options. 1. Walk away 2. Buy a pup anyways because you really need a "pit" (sarcasm) or 3. Call the appropriate authorities.
I agree saving a dog is saving a dog but what about the rest of the litter? It's hard for me personally to take 1 & leave the other 6-10.
Some shelters actually do test & the spay/neuter where as a mill will not. Like mentioned earlier...it's a revolving circle. Take a pup from a mill, that's 1 more dog in the shelter that may be PTS. Adopt a shelter dog, that's 1 pup from a mill that may get dumped in the shelter & may not get adopted...then he to is PTS.
Bottom line if your heart is genuine for the dogs ....I commend you but having a dog with unknown history is a gamble redgardless where you got it from.

Ive done it and Ill do it again. Ive taken whole litters.....make no mistake abot the fact that I have always had plenty of resources to not only take care of the pups but to make sure that breeder never owns another animal legally for a long time. not to mention the finacial burden it puts on them for legal reasons.
it can make a difference but even then not every pup makes it to a home and family. I have to take full responsibilty right to their last breath. personally i would have put bob down by 6 months old but the family thought it was worth following thru and make him ours. I would never place that dog with anyone lol
this is a good thread Angel!
Thanks everyone for taking the time to share your thoughts. this is good education!

Dave you are like one in a million of the shelter/rescue guys that I would vouch for and say this guy does understand the breed and is not clueless or blind when adopting them out. I wish more shelter rescues groups were more educated about the breed to begin with instead of being more into the cause of rescue that they become blind sided to the breeds nature and place these dogs under false hopes or pretenses. Understanding breeds is very important wether your a pet owner or working within a shelter organization.

I started in rescue; first with wolves that were pets in Oklahoma, and then later to SPCA where I was certified in Euthanasia and as a Vet Tech. Opening day I had to euthanize 26 dogs a day ( I remember that number because it was the minimum; most places dont realize over population and parvo springs up from nowhere) So .. SPCA prevents that by having a dogs/cats day numbered. We also got goats, pigs, hawks from time to time but those are all easy saves.
The problem always lies with the accountability of people. .. ITS all a HUSTLE.. so to speak ... LOL
In the shelters, and rescue facilities you will have people who know better or not, lie about the breed of a dog because "this great lil dog can't be a pit bull, it must be a boxer mix" then they lable the american bulldog mix or boxer lab mix ; a "pit mix" ...  I can go in almost any facility and see this. I know canines down to the "T" .. studied them my whole life along with other animals. It is a possiblity to know dogs and bloodlines so well you recognize the traits that make up a particular dog and or a family of dogs. PEOPLE.. get in the way of themselves.
For instance.. Am Bulldog comes in, bit someone, owners say "pit bulldog" on breed...  ... "Bully" style APBTs bite someone its NOT a bully, its a "pitbull"
..
In order to save an endangered species, what steps does it take? Well the APBT is an endagered species (breed) and considered a rare breed. So why are scattered bred yard dogs all over the place called "pit bulls" and not bulldogs or bandogs in which they really are? Ignorance.. "we are all so proud knowing; what we don't really know" .. Meaning people know it all and dont appreciate advice in general without getting prideful, most usually. Ignorance.. If we can't accept the fact that each and everyone of us has been ignorant to the breed and done had to step up our game or get prideful and keep doing more of the same, because at one point or other: it happens to us all. The BYB's .. are where Tudors looked for dogs back in his day< MIND YOU: back then all the dogs had to have contested wins to be a American Pit Bull Terrier~ Thats how the DOG was made..
Whats that mean? It means all the dogs out there with American Pit Bull Terrier registration are really: bulldogs, and bandogs (depending on size and work) unless the dogs themselves are proven or right down from proven stock. Just because paper law changes DOESNT mean GENETICS does.
What really needs to happen is the GENERAL populous need a new name for the scattered bred and BYBred dogs; rather it be Bully, Bulldog, Bandog, or what ever. Politics doesnt change genetics and we dont have American Pit Bull Terriers unless they are down from [] stock. People should BE HAPPY! They can HONESTLY take all these dogs and simply call them Bulldogs, or even better curdog. Because most places arent going to say you can't have a cur dog; even after they google it. You would even be honest if you said you had a bandog (working mastiff) if you have an APBT of 80lbs or more. So once again, its PRIDE.. PEOPLE think they want an American Pit Bull Terrier~ But NO they don't; they want a bulldog, a bandog, a cur dog, or even an aggie (bulldog) ..
People need to do themselves, their dogs, our dogs, the APBT as a "breed", and our community a favor............... "Call a Spade a Spade" .. Keep it simple..
Cant find a house to live in with you unpapered unproven or C' class registered "pit bull" .. then be honest with yourselves and the dog, and finding a house or staying in one isn't the deboggle; it's rather or not "you" (general euphanism) can handle the fact that "you" DONT have an APBT and you do just have ONE good dog, rather that be a bulldog, bandog, cur dog, or what havya.
That will fix the problem... So the question really is do we and everyone else, want to swallow that rock in our throat we call pride, and realize that "pit bull" is a generic term that reffers to any athletic bulldog type or bullterrier type dog, and so we need to change that generic term in OUR lingo and thus accross the board.

Well all i got to say is your the only one right now making it something it doesn't have to be.. Look at who i'm calling a fool.. Because they are... Someone adopting (for instance) that has no clue about these dogs, believes its all in how you raise them, takes that dog to the dog park every week, turns out to start showing signs of HA but shrug it off because their "pitty was just grumpy" and ends up killing another dog at the park or attacking a person.. Those people are FOOLS and i don't care if that offends you or not. It is what it is and you cant cure stupid.
I'm blunt, to the point and i don't sugar coat things. I'm glad your rescue worked out for you and for me in the end i have no problem with you..In fact i don't recall really ever talking to you until this thread.. If you have a problem though with my posts just don't read em.
I see where you are coming from i just don't see a point in it, i'm not calling the "good ones" that adopt and do right, understand and willing to educate themselves fools or morons for adopting. Unless you want to group everyone as one that adopts that is.. Which i wouldn't.

 Exactly!! Redog is an exception and is far, FAR from the norm of those that do adopt. If everyone was like redog when it came to adopting/rescuing than the world wouldn't be so...

Maybe this is for another thread but I feel that "breeding", whether BYB or pup mill, seems to be more of a Saturday afternoon hobby when, personally, I think it should be a profession right up there with vets, doctors, teachers, painters, etc. I guarantee you won't hear people talking about getting work done by a BYD(entist) or BYPlastic surgeon.
If you've ever been around somewhere & a person has a cute little "pit bull" puppy, the convo goes a little like this:
"Ohhh that's a cute lil rednose/bluenose pup. How old is he/she? Are you going to breed/stud her/him? They would make some cute pups."
IMO Breeders should have to be licensed & trained by some kind of tech school or something to produce & sell puppies of any breed.
