time to breed

[The Golden Child]

first off. The "opinions" stated on animal overpopulation are straight facts. Your "opinion" stevo is just plain negligence. I'm not going to go off on a rant because I deal with negligent people all day. Simply put, your'e adding to an already prevalent problem. Feel free to breed your dog, it cuts their life down by 3 years on average. In accordance to metro-atlanta statistics, your pitt will have an average of 6 pups in her litter. 4 will end up homeless by age 3 in a shelter, likely to be put down. The other will be used for fighting or better yet end up neglected/abused and the 6th will go to a mediocre home. I know you'll probably rebutt with some half wit comment about how you plan on defying statistics and thats fine. But those are the facts.
Also, to show how little you know, only 3 of the 67 GA shelter have an exclusive DNA policy (do not adopt) on Pitts. The rest put them down because how often and how fast they come into shelters.

i just decided to get my dog spayed & adopt a pit instead ..
got her spayed today .. she looked depressed ..

If thats what you really did I am happy for stating my opinion.

yea i did cause i started a new job and i wouldnt have time to care of the puppys ..
and i live alone so i just decided on getting her spayed and looking into another dog ..
i understood what you were trying to say but i just had to say something cause i felt like i was a bad guy for trying 2 breed a beautifull dog ..
but whatever end of story ..

LOL - you didn't answer the guy's questions.

IS YOUR PIT'S HIP X-RAYED AND CERTIFIED FOR DYSPLASIA?

IS THE OTHER PIT YOU'RE BREEDING TO X-RAYED AND CERTIFIED FOR DYSPLASIA?

DOES YOUR PIT HAVE PAPERS AND/OR/IS SHOW QUALITY?

ARE YOU BREEDING HIM/HER FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE BREED, OR JUST TO GET PUPPIES TO SELL/GIVE TO FRIENDS?

If the answer to any of any of these is "no" - DO NOT BREED YOUR DOG. If you do it anyways, you are a backyard breeder. Thanks to people like you, breeds have health problems, temperment and behavioral problems, and will lead a horrible, unhappy life in pain. I hope you think twice about what you're doing. Just because you own a dog doesn't give you the right to breed it.

What happens if one of your friends can't take care of the puppies? Or they have health issues and they give them back to you? Now you have a dog and the rest of the pups. Well feeding/cleaning up after/taking 4-5 dogs to the vet is EXPENSIVE. More than likely Woody will be right. We'll see your dog or some of his offspring in the shelters. .

Oops, I didn't read that last one before my post.

Good choice man. But remember, just because a dog is beautiful doesn't mean it's right to breed it. Professional, responsible dog breeders never come out making money, they do it for love of the breed - BUT they have the certifications and bloodlines to back up their breeding.

If you really want to breed dogs sometime in the future, I'd suggest trying to meet up with someone who breeds dogs and see what it actually entails. It's not cheap or easy.
