What a GREAT pic!!!
Hey everyone! I thought it might be fun to start a group on "Disc Doggin" in honor of Wallace being a National Champion. So if you're a seasoned pro or just want to get started we can use this group to share ideas and training tips.
Profile Information

- About Me:
- I'm a big pit bull fan. As a hunter, I believe that God gave us animals that are expendable for our own good. But, I do not believe that a breed of dog should be expendable or wiped out just because of the wrong doings of it's owners. "Pit Bulls" get a bad name from the humans who believe they are here for only one purpose. I do not believe in that purpose and furthermore, any "Pit" of mine will be nothing more than a happy family dog. There is a wide agenda out there that is set at bringing down any dog deemed "dangerous". Go pick on somebody else because my "Pit" is a sissy. LOL

- I must add a little to what i wrote. We are going to buy a farm with some land. Thats why we then can have more dogs. We can then feed them raw meat and bones and will have plenty of place for them. We want the best so therefore we have pits as family dogs.
For guard dogs we will have Boerboel (Soutafrican Mastiffs). Even if some pits guard good too. Those Mastiffs are good too with people but it takes fifteen minutes for them to relax when somebody new comes in to the house. The Boerboel are bred for another purpouse as we know. The females of that breed goes along with other dogs and cats. With the males its another story.

- Hi
They are fine;) We are renovating the house now so we dont have time to train them as much as we want. But in two months the house will be finished inside and outside and then we will have MORE PITBULLS;) And other dogs too. In fact we are getting home the sister to our male now because the owners has separated and the man cant take care of both of them. Shes a wonderful dog too, exactly like Milo in temperament and build. Shes fat and understimulated now but that we will change in a couple of weeks. Your pup is so cute. It reminds me of Milo when he was little.

- yep- we're in the NW part of MO, near Kansas city- and ANY bully breed- is pretty much not welcome. Several cities around us are banning 'pitbulls' and other breeds like mad! we're so lucky that BSL hasn't completely made it into our city- banning my poor Lucky!
Like i said= brindle is so uncommon around here- - people look and hate him, or look and love him. He's a pit mix, but just because he has the "coloring of a pit bull" = people question him. :/
People that are not farmilular with dogs don't realize there are various other breeds that can have brindle fur! Like grey hounds, bulldogs, mastiffs, and boxers.
The barf diet for dogs is 'bones and raw food diet'. More natural for a dog then just dry kibble- all the dogs i've seen on this diet look AMAZING. We're looking to convert to the Barf diet- it's just SOO expensive with 6 dogs!

- well u should add more pics then!
We got lucky when he was 6 lbs!! He was so adorable!! Now he's a giant! I chose him out of 11 pups. There were fawn/bown and brindle. I WANTED brindle, and he was the only brindle= and now there's lucky!
Brindles not that common around here= so people are always looking at him :)
i've been trying to read up on ur and mats convo around APBT vs Am Staff...
It's all so confusing!
around here- either way they are bullies, and not welcome :(

- Any body is welcome here as i see it. Even though the scenery of my area is dull, i would take any and all of the pups who are in trouble in other countries in a heartbeat if it was feasable. Does Marco even know he has been discussed???? LOL :) the ol' guy is just minding his business and i have managed to tell a story. :)
I dont know if he has seen that he is discussed;) If he has im sure he will not take offense. We have as far as i see it dont said anything bad about him?
Hope everything is ok "over there" i am working here on the office, its 16.41 pm now, sunny and fine outside even if we have much snow left to, but thats melting away fast now.
Cheers

- Not sure if Marco would think it was as pretty here :)
Dont you think so? Why, im not following? Because of the BSL hanging over everyone i suppose?
It does make perfect sense. I've seen so many variations of APBT appearance. My first male that i owned years back was tall and athletic. He only weighed 65 pounds at one year old. I joked that he was a gazelle. I have a good friend who has one that is very short but VERY VERY stocky. So stocky in fact that his stride is very wide and totally unnatural. His head looks twice as large as it should be for his size and with his height below my knee, weighs over 65 pounds. He was chosen because of these traits and I believe he is a piece of work but not my taste.
Yes, since they are bred for gameness they can vary very much in size and build.
His owner did not respect his strength in the beginning and left him un-supervised with another APBT female for half a day and came home to find her with two completely broken legs and completely mauled. The dog had never shown any aggression ever before but was left alone with another dog who was extremely hyperactive and for almost sure she annoyed him into the act. The owners lesson has been learned now that these dogs were truly bred to take down other animals, but at that expense. It comes with the Responsibility part of owning these dogs.
It often gets bad and very tragic when these dogs are left alone. As long as you think about what you are doing and take precausions there is no problem at all with having game bred dogs in the house together. They must be supervised all times and a breakstick shall be in the house where you can get it fast. There is a thread here about breakstick and how to use it that is very good.
Several friends breed for the athleticism as "Catch" dogs for boar hunting. I know little about it but it seems exciting.
I think so too. Many people, well most people here in Sweden, should think that was animal cruelty but i dont know. I think its ok as soon as the boar is killed directly after catched by the Pit Bulls.
Another breeder that i work with breeds Bull Mastiffs and Rottweilers. Supposedly the Rottweilers were truly bred using the original breeds over time that make up the Rotts. Again out of my knowledge range. Several of his what he calls "Pitts" are in the range of 100+ pounds. Not used for breeding but as family pets.
They can weigh that much but its not common. Mayday (A chinaman) His "pit weight" was 75 lbs, but then they are totally ripped. Thats around 92-100 lbs with normal body fat on. A beutiful dog. Thats the most weight on a pure bred pit bull i have heard of. The weight is normally much less. I will tell you more about that but its over midnight here and we must go out with the dogs;)

Sorry that I dropped so many questions on you but even people in my personal circle who handle or own APBTs know very little about them. I'm really in search of more knowledge about this breed. Its the most interesting of breeds to me. If i'm going to make this commitment for this breed and try to set an example with my own then i want all the knowledge to better inform others.
Its not good that those who breed dont now the history and the old Champions and Grand Champions. Grand Champions that were dogs that had several wins (Gr Ch) and ROM stands for "Register of merit". That is those who pass on to their litters the gameness that in turn make them to champions. With enoug offspring that is champions they get to be called ROM. 5w is five times winner in matches on the highest level. This is history but to be able to understand the breed you have and to be able to discuss in a good way you have to know everything about the history. I am beginning to learn and know a little, will read everything there is about the breed and have the books in a bookshelf in our "dog room" that we will have when we have more dogs. We will then there have a couch we can sit and read in and pics on the wall of old well known dogs. We will have a treadmill there and a springpole so we can train two dogs as we chill;) There will be cages they can sleep in with good room and soft to lay on.
I am against dog fighting but old time dog men gave us this unique breed and i want the old breeding lines to be preserved. Once again as i always say in discussions. With the right owner is the best breed in the world. With the wrong owner it can be a nightmare. Especially if they are game bred.
I'm not nearly as interested in breeding as others. Not that i'm opposed to it but with what my occupation requires and my wife's as well, i don't have the time to do it. We also own a very jealous 5 year old male chihauau that almost seems emotionally devastated that "Bo" our 11 week old pit pup is even in the picture. I do really appreciate your time talking to me about this subject and I hope you do enjoy discussing it. And I did appreciate you sending the link about the EU petition and i have signed it. Any way that i can help
You should not just breed if you want to do it but you must have a goal with the breeding. First of all you shoud stick to the APBT standard with good old breeding lines. I have some kennels i can show you if you decide to start breeding. But before you take pups you must have buyers for them and good people that care for the breed just as much as you do. Otherwise, if you dont have that and especially if you have no time. You have made the right decision there Since you dont have time you dont breed. Its as simple as that.
A breeder is one that knows a lot about lines and breeding and not just breed for the money. Those they call "puppy peddlers". The goal is of course not to breed gamedogs for gaming but be so true to the APBT standard as possible and take dogs from the best lines and kennels. If you do so you will move on the old great APBT breeding lines. Mixing breeding lines is not good they think that breed only for game. But breeding only for game means inbreeding and that means not healthy dogs. That is a fact. By taking dogs with good pedigree with not much inbreeding and start to build up a kennel i think is the best way to go. To breed for both working capacity and also for good family dog temperament at the same time (which most of the game bred dogs have).
Its good to help each other like that. You dont have to exuse youself for asking questions. I can give you links later to movies and to books on amazon for instace so you can study. I will when we have settled down on the farm we will buy;)
Take care
Mats
