I love APBT's, but I don't know that I'll ever be at a point where I can say yes to getting one. Wouldn't really fit my training goals, etc. at this point. That said I know exactly who I'd want to talk to for a nice apbt. Its really a matter of getting to know people, meeting dogs, seeing a variety of the dogs from those lines, etc.

I've also heavily researched the breed(s) I am much more likely to go out and purchase in the future for a sport/working prospect. Working line GSD, Malinois, and Dutch Shepherds. I've been reading and researching on the breeds since I adopted Lily 4 years ago. I've talked to many people and interacted with many dogs. I've researched genetics, health testing, etc. and I still feel like I'm only begining to learn all there is to know. That said I do have short lists for what breeders I would feel very comfortable going to.

I wouldn't buy a papered sled dog. I'm not going to show, so what the hell is the point with all the idiot pet owners of the world getting them because they are pretty and then dumping them because they act like what they are.
