OK, i think i should start by saying i would like to buy from a reputable breeder and not rescue a dog, I am fully aware that there is an abundance of good dogs in shelters, but i prefer not to go that route!
I'm not looking to buy overnight as i feel that i have a lot more research to do, however this is an option! I would ideally like to buy my dog anywhere from 6months - 1year from now! Ok here are some noob questions & info about me...
I am a very athletic guy, and i have always loved the APBT, i felt as if it would be a great dog for me. I do not know why, but i am really not interested in any other kind of dog, i think the APBT just set my standards too high! Personally i love their beautiful looks and athletic performance, then add that to their intelligence and i feel like you have the perfect dog... here are my questions!
1) What are some good well known breeders anywhere in the USA? I live in NJ, but i have no problem going anywhere in america to purchase my dog! So far i picked up on colby and caragan. (however im not willing to "co own" MY dog.)
2) what are some athletic Pedigrees/Bloodlines That you guys are familiar with or that you prefer! Im looking for an APBT, NOT a bully... also where would i be able to purchase this pedigree? (i do like bullies, just not what i am looking to purchase at this time.)
3) can you guys recommend any great MUST READ books on pitbulls, or maybe any pitbull magazines that are well known or that you guys subscribe to?
Those are pretty much my questions for now! I would like to buy a male, i would not be getting him neutered, so i would need a breeder that was okay with that, its not that i plan on breeding the dog, but i like the option to know that if i ever did want him to have puppies he would be able to! The dog must be UKC/ADBA registered. Im looking only for true original american pitbull terriers! Im also interested in weight pull, so any good books or info on how i can get into that would also be helpful!
THANKS FOR ANY HELP GUYS!
