Puppy Peddling on this Site.

That's right, two different verdicts:
1. Forgiven, go and dont do it again,
2. Burn baby burn!

 

You reckon there will be a big weenie roast? lol Marshmellows any one? Just remember take no joy in it or you may be next. I am going to hang out by the fishing holes and the dogs so I am not tempted to enjoy any thing I should not.

 

Keep this on-track, or it will be closed. Also, religious debates need to be kept in pm's.

 

ewwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

I agree 100%... I have a pretty dog with papers... should I breed her to the first pretty dog with papers I come across?? She is 3 years old, and never been bred. If I ever get the chance to take her out and get her titled in weight pull or confirmation, I might think about it. But that opens a whole other can of worms. Puppys are hard work, and they are expensive. You dont make any money... unless you are selling blues... for some reason they always seem to go for a couple grand... which I dont understand... I wouldnt pay a cent for a pretty blue coat....

 

Yea Lethal, You always bringing up religion and stuff!! Keep on thread!

 

LOL Thats right, thanks for keepin' the trouble makers in check purplepig, Lethal was exactly the folks I was talkin to! LOL

 

I am not sure here but I think I just tore a lung. lol Yea what he said. lol

 

I hate to keep this thread going but I haven't had the chance to repply since I'm busy with my foster dog.... when I said "into" that doesn't mean "own" ...I meant "interested in" ...As in, if you're not interested in gamebred APBTs, why are you here? (Thats just a rhitorical (sp?) question, by the way.)

I don't own any gamebred APBTs, no. I don't breed, no. But that doesn't make me a hypocrite. I explained above what I meant so hopefully that clears up the confusion. Anyone here who is willing to learn, and change their ignorant/stupid ways if need be, is welcome here to me.... be it someone who owns APBTs, American Bullies, pet bulls, a different type of dog entirely, or no dog at all.

Lethal you can call me a rat and explain all you want but I still stick by what I said. I do apologize to the mods though for causing difficulties and the need to edit my post or any posts in reply to my accusations.

 

It's all good. In your eyes I'm some unworthy bulldog owner who's sold a dog and is interested in breeding one day, which will destroy us all. In my eyes you are a judgemental character that dwells in other people's affairs because they speak or say thing differently that get under your skin. So now that we know eachother ;P..

Anyway, I'm gonna leave this thread alone before I say something religious!

 

Iwas tryin not to post on this but if u think the term pit or pit bull is extremely general u have to be willin to educate some people. It doesn't take long, alot of things are abreveated, and some people(including me) call an american pit bull terrier a pit or pitbull. Pit bull is in the name of the dog so i don't see why its a problem. No other dog that looks like a pit bull has pit bull in its name. And if u have something else and someone asks u if u have a pit bull just say u have a staffordshire terrier ot what not. Some people will never know the difference if no one tells them. And the part about the ghetto slang thing, many words are shortened and someone that is from the so called ghetto would take offense to alot of u guys takin down about how we speak

 

i think that if you spent any amount of time on here, you would find most members are willing to educate the uneducated. it only serves us and our dogs to do so. and ghetto slang is exactly that. if you can't speak in a coherent fashion, how do you ever expect to portray this breed in a positive manner? and again, the general public doesn't have a clue about the difference in breeds. so while it is necessary to educate people, it still gets old and annoying at times.

 

I'm ALWAYS willing to educate anyone who is willing!

As for my not liking the term "pit bull", it at one time did refer to the American Pit Bull Terrier. But in today's day & age, it is a much more general term that refers to the APBT, the American Staffordshire Terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and Bull Terrier. To most, it also refers to the American Bulldog, any mix of these breeds, and any other dog that looks like a "pit bull." Governments that have enacted B.S.L. have created a defnition for a "pit bull" so broad that the Pacific Ocean is a joke compare to it. In most cases, a "pit bull" is all the above mentioned breeds plus any dog with short hair, muscles, and weighing between 30 & 130 lbs. Doesn't really narrow it down much?

As for offending people, I've got friends that grew up in the not-so-nice neighborhoods (aka the ghetto) and all of them speak well. How you speak is not necessarily dictated by where your from......It's a choice you make. However, I was not offending anyone's manner of speaking, but rather voicing my opinion on talking about "Pits" and "Pit Bulls." Like I said, if you start talking to me about "Pits", chances are I'm thinking in my mind "arm pits? Or holes in his backyard?". If you start talking to me about your "pit bulls", I'm going to have to assume you mean your possibly mixed breed mutts until you prove otherwise. Not because I'm being a bitch, but because 20+ breeds of dogs & God knows how many mutts are called "pit bulls" these days.

 

i here what u guys are sayin and i don't care that much about u callin it ghetto slang, but that was the first name me and other people ever called the breed so thats what we call it. If u had an amstaff and someone said u had a nice staff would u think they were talkin about a staff infection when ur walkin ur dog? If i saw someone walkin an apbt i probly would say thats a nice pit, and if they want to try to treat me like i don't knopw what i'm talkin bout i can flip it on them cause i do know a thing or two. All this talk about the proper name and where i live everyone has to register their dog as an amstaff anyways

 

Truer words have never been spoken. People need to get off their butts and get out there with them dogs. Compete in something at some level, but compete none the less. This always has been a workin breed. I saw a pic up today from approx 1730. Two dogs, a man and a dead bear. I dont know about you, but thats what Im talkin about.

 

Honestly, no. If I wasn't thinking of some inanimate object, I would wonder if they mean "Nice American Staffordshire Terrier" or "Nice Staffordshire Bull Terrier."

The truth is that we live in a day and age when it is important to let our dogs be known for what they are. My dogs are NOT the 90 lb "pit bulls" that I saw on our local news a few nights ago for biting someone. So to call my dogs that is an insult in my opinion.
