This is a big question what do you think the difference is in the way you breed your apbt compared from the way (BYB) do meaning what do you look for in the bred that's different than the (BYB) ??????
Well said and very trueWell for starters we should NOT be supporting a BYB...so there is no need to look for a BYB breeder. That's not to say that all "registered breeders" are perfect...you need to do your homework on any body that you buy a dog from imo.
Let's make a simple list of some things you should expect to see from a licensed breeder.
-health tests
-knowledgable of the breed
-looking to improve the breed
-pedigree from a recognized registry
-culls properly (covers all genetic defects or any HA)
-titles (both work or show)...preferably "work" for a apbt
Chances are you will NOT get any of the above from BYB
Edit**I'm at work so I tried to type as efficient as possible lol
The way it really should be, when producing these Bulldogs, APBTs, etc the only way to ensure these hounds are properly worked and taken cared of (legally, of course) is to ensure you are limiting where your yard travels to.. Theres enough uneducated people out there that shouldn't own a dog, even in higher numbers when it comes to these "bull and terrier" breeds.. Therefore, breed for what you need, keep what you need and ensure all else produced are going to fine hands..Im not licensedhowever I do produce good enough dogs not to receive any complaints yet.. I dont title my dogs either.. (chuckles) I do health test or rather natural selection, survival of the fittest. We do predator control
I produce bulldogs, some may be bandog sized most will be 37lbs and down all of them are sure game fire.. nothing more nothing less.. However unless you know me personally or you have been vouched by someone who does then its not likely you'll ever get a dog from me, just how I roll.
Lol!! A USDA License doesn't count for much other than help keep the breeder accountable.Im not licensedhowever I do produce good enough dogs not to receive any complaints yet..

This id true but in this day and age the amount of bybs and shelter "pits" are beyond out of control. If the legal system could regulate who can and cant bree dogs things would hopefully weed it self out. Unfortunately this is near impossible and bsl is the only other alternative they can turn too still not solving the problem and hurting the only ones that matter... The dogs and the responsable breeder/ownerHow many of the old dogmen, you know...whose names appear on true gamebred pedigrees, actually adhered to the standards that have been suggested here? There was one reason they bred these dogs....it didn't matter how pretty the dogs were or what kind of physical examination they could pass or what title they could achieve. There was only one test that mattered. I suppose that's the difference between now and then, and when you're shelling out the dough, I somewhat understand.
