ok, so i am being messaged and harassed because i breed american pit bull terriers. first off, i believe if someone isn't interested in a pup, dont message me. second, its my life, my dog, shes doing what she would do naturally.
a dogs first instinct is to become part of a pack. This is why puppies are so attached to people and have separation problems. they see humans as their pack. they are growing, believing the family they are with is their pack. they are naturally pack animals.
when a canine reaches sexual maturity, the very next instinct is to breed. Its simple and natural. its what they would do if they were still in the wild.
Now, I understand these dogs are used for fighting purposes. that is not why i breed them. My purpose is to preserve a piece of history. American Pit Bull terriers are actually americas first decorated war dogs. Not the german shepherd as so many seem to believe. It wa the american pit bull terrier that settlers would breed to watch their children as they were in the fields. hint the name "nanny dog".
I know the potential of a fighter trying to buy a pup from me. I am very cautious. still, some are tricky and might slip by. but what they dont count on is i request contact information. meaning, if you give me a phone number to reach you, i will literally call it in front of you to ensure it is the same number. i will also ask for vet references and if you have any experience with the breed. while i know these methods are not fool proof, i am doing what i feel i need to to ensure proper homes.
i do understand shelters are full. i do realize how many animals are homeless and abused. I've seen it all first hand. I've been there. I've volunteered at many shelters. I've picked up lost and abused dogs and cats from off the streets. I literally crawl into places people should not be , if the need arises, to save an animal. I've seen fighting dogs first hand. I've seen the sadness, the hurt, the misery, the fear. i know these dogs. I have no professional training, but im one of the first people to jump in to save them. that is not why i breed.
i believe if you know you r breed, you can work with them and love them no matter what social media says, and you know what your doing, and how to better what is already great, it should be understood. but so many people believe ALL dogs and cats should be neutered. like literally every cat and dog on the fave of this planet. but its not possible. animals were created to breed, to continue life. as were humans. if we were to spay and neuter every living canine and feline on this planet, we would eventually kill the species. yes, i believe some owners and breeders need to just quit. in fact, there are some breeders i wish would be arrested for animal neglect and abuse. forcing their animals to breed when not ready, and time and tme again. its not healthy.
many people may not agree with me, and several people will probably jump me, but you know what? i could care less. jump me, voice your opinion.
i only have one dog that is being bred. one. one out of four. I currently own four dogs. 3 of which are spayed and neutered. however, even though they cannot procreate, they still have the instinct to do so. they still try.
again, i realize shelters are full. so dont start that with me. i know better than anyone else here just how bad it is. however, this is my breed. the american pit bull terrier. a kind hearted animal, who sole purpose in life is to please its master, to protect its pack. an athletic animal, who rather enjoys pulling and fetch. a well muscled canine, who is one of the most determined work dogs. a dog, who social media likes to show you the dangers of. the monster that people make them.
I was indeed attacked by an american pit. i still have scars. but, i see past what ignorant imbeciles are making them. they deserve to be recognized and loved for what they truly are. big babies who never actually grow up.
