If you want a rednose why not wait for one? The blue fad is the color of the month for backyard breeders, any breeder producing dogs based on their color is the type to stay far away from, they generally aren't interested in temperment, structure or health. Not to mention they are usually largely overpriced for a low quality bred dog. Make sure you aren't buying from some fool byb.
Also there's no such thing as a "bully" pit. APBT have a standard, they aren't meant to be a massive thick dog. Maybe you are buying an American Bully which is a different breed altogether. As far as raw, you should really pick one or the other, raw digests at a different rate than kibble so it's not recommended to mix, not to mention raw is much more involved than just throwing some chicken in. |

They are a backyard breeder, their dogs have accomplished nothing, they don't health test from what I can see, don't show and poor structure all around. $1500 is getting you what exactly? The same crap thousands of other byb's are putting out in huge numbers. Look around enough you'll find the same quality blue dog sitting in a shelter near you. They also apparently don't care if their dogs have mange, even though it's a genetic immune issue. APBT are prone to hip and elbow displaysia as it is, adding weight and bad breeding to it is a recipe for heartbreak and huge vet bills. Plus they call their dogs APBT even though they obviously are not. ---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ---------- i rather have this guy (then those 3 poorly bred ambullies that were posted ) |

Even though it's true that there are 100 lbs APBTs. I've heard of stories of dogs breeding to standard and one of the pups out of so many come out to be 3 times the size of the mother and father, it's genetic and those are rare (from my understanding).
The saying, "No, Those Bullies are 100% Pure Bred Pits! They're just bred with big ass pits"....lol I haven't heard any truth to this. ---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ---------- I sent you a message of a post on PBF of American Bullies and The REAL American PIt Bull Terrier. If anyone wants it PM me. There's over 200 pictures of each. Great looking dogs. |
