Before you buy or adopt a Blue Pit Bull, we would like to help you out in your
research. We would like to bring to your attention the health defects that come
along with the 'Blue' coat. This is from a fellow Pit Bull breeder's site:
THE BLUE COAT COLORING IN MOST BREEDS IS ASSOCIATED WITH
SKIN PROBLEMS. BLUE COATED DOGS OF ALL BREEDS ARE MORE
PRONE TO BACTERIAL, VIRAL, STAPH AND FUNGAL INFECTIONS AS
WELL AS VARIOUS FORMS OF DERMATITIS, ALLERGIES, DEMODEX AND
COLOR MUTANT ALOPECIA. WHILE SOME OF THESE CONDITIONS ARE
HEREDITARY MANY OF THEM ARE SIMPLY THE RESULT OF THE BLUE
COAT COLORING. WE AND OUR PARTNER KENNELS HAVE DONE
COUNTLESS HOURS OF RESEARCH AND HAD LENGTHY
CONVERSATIONS WITH OUT VETS. AS A RESULT OF OUR FINDINGS AND
THE OPINIONS OF OUR VETS WE DO NOT GUARANTEE AGAINST ANY
SKIN OR COAT PROBLEMS. NOR WILL WE BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SKIN
AND COAT PROBLEMS THAT ARE COMMON FOR DOGS WITH THE BLUE
COLORING. MOST OF THESE COAT PROBLEMS ARE EASILY AND
INEXPENSIVLEY TREATED FOR AROUND $50.00. MOST BREEDERS WILL
NOT TELL YOU ABOUT THESE COMMON PROBLEMS BUT WE FEEL IT IS
YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW. WE HAVE SEEN IT PRODUCED IN ALL
BLOODLINES AND COLORS BUT MOST COMMONLY IN BLUES OF ALL
BLOODLINES AND MANY OTHER BLUE COATED BREEDS. NOT ALL BLUE
DOGS WILL BE EFFECTED BY A SKIN PROBLEM BUT YOU MUST BE
PREPARED TO TREAT YOUR DOG IN THE EVENT THAT HE DOES. WE
WILL NOT KNOWINGLY BREED ANY DOG THAT IS A PRODUCER OF A
SKIN DISEASE. THERE IS NO TEST AVAILABLE FOR THESE PROBLEMS
PRIOR TO SIGNS OF INFECTION. ADULT DOGS CAN BE CARRIERS AND
NOT EVER SHOW SIGNS OF INFECTION. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON
THIS, PLEASE DISCUSS THIS WITH YOUR VET AND RESEARCH IT ONLINE
OR ELSEWHERE AS WE HAVE, BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO BUY A BLUE
DOG OR ONE WITH PARENTS WHO ARE BLUE!
There are serious conditions and health problems that are associated with a
Blue Pit Bull. Even if your dog isn't blue, there could be a blue pit bull in the
lineage. Please do your research. Please also take into consideration the fact
of possible vet bills and medications that are associated with these health
problems. Not only do Blue Pit Bull breeders OVERCHARGE for their dogs, but
they are selling you a dog that could very possibly be affected or carrying
these diseases. So even if your dog shows no signs of these skin diseases,
your puppies could should you ever decide to breed.
The purchase of the dog is not the only cost involved. Daily food,
bones/treats, vitamins, shots and checkups are essential things that must be
done to keep your dog healthy. Please research, learn and consider all
aspects before purchasing any puppy.

Blue Pit bulls - Pit Bull Puppies for Sale - And other destructive forces in the world of our breed
By Jason Mann
Looking for a puppy? Blue Pit Bull? White Pit Bull? Or other color? Sorry, we aren't selling any dogs. One of the
reasons this breed is in such a sad state is because people try to invent new colors, types, sizes, and all sorts of
other completely pointless traits in Pit bulls.
Color variations are touted as "rare" or "unique" when in reality they are neither. Merle, Blue, Silver, are all quite
easy to find. Pit Bull breeders will ask upwards of $5,000 for a single pup with these coat colors. Truly one of the
saddest things I have ever seen.
While they are pretty (I mean after all I am a Pit Bull fancier), they bring with them more health problems, more over
population, more temperament problems, and more problems for the entire breed too.
Will People Ever "Get it?"
When I first got involved with the breed there was a young guy that lived behind me who bred pit bulls for "extra"
money and had pups all the time. He would beat them, you know, to toughen them up. Or that was his excuse.
One day my neighbor ended up with the female and a young 6 week old pup. The female was, to put it lightly,
insane. I had her in my backyard and she was not a nice dog and I worried she would jump the little fence I had at
the time and kill something. Which she had already done on numerous occasions.
Puppy, well, I ended up dog sitting him when he was about 3 months old. He stayed with me for almost 4 months
while his owner got back on his feet. He came and got puppy and I was devastated. But I had fallen in love with the
breed. And thus began my quest. I got another dog Angel, the dog on the logo up at the top of the page. That's her.
I'm getting away from the point here, so I'll jump back on topic. My point is, there are thousands of people who, like
the guy who lived behind me, breed their dogs for all sorts of ridiculous reasons. Number one being money. Greed
destroys and it's obvious. Just look around you, robbery and mayhem all for a buck. Truly sad.
Exploiting animals for money is not only cruel, but criminal. At least in my opinion.
Blue Pit bulls are not rare and they are simply a way for losers with no morals to make money off a craze. I am not
saying those dogs are not great dogs, I'm simply saying on a whole they have problems and their breeders are
rotten scoundrels.
Same goes for any breeder breeding for coat color, eye color, width, big fat heads, short little legs, or whatever
attribute they see people are going crazy for. Breeding for profit, especially the American Pit Bull Terrier, is a moral
crime against the very animals they claim they love.
So to answer the question, "will people ever get it?" I would have to respond, I doubt it.
What to look for in a Pit Bull breeder
We do not endorse breeders. However, we are not stupid either. We know there are many people who visit this site
who will end buying a puppy. First, look at a breed specific rescue. Puppies are usually not that hard to find. Be
prepared to deal with some serious scrutiny. Good rescues will not allow great pups into the arms of a potentially
horrible owner.
If you must buy from a breeder, here's some things to watch out for. If the Pit Bull breeder you are looking at does
not have at least 9 out of the following 10 criteria firmly in place, run away as fast as you can.
"Into" Dogs. In other words they actually do something with their dogs. They don't have them tied up or has house
pets. Their dogs are show dogs, sport dogs, etc... and they have titles to prove it.
Pups' pedigrees are filled with dogs who have obtained show titles/working certificates; never breeds dogs without
"papers"
Supports Pit Bull rescue. What? They actually care about the breed? Yes. If they don't support rescue directly or
the idea of rescue. They need to really look at why they are breeding.
Knowledgeable about every aspect of breed, including health issues/defects; they research genetics and health
issues when choosing their breedings.
Offer continued help with their dogs. If you have a question, you should be able to pick up the phone or sign online
(email) and get an answer. For a very, very, very long time after you get your pup.
Have a list of reputable references. If they can't provide you with at least 5 or 10 references, leave.
Breedings are planned 1 to 2 years in advance and they rarely breed. Rare meaning like once every year or three.
Only breeds proven, stable, mature dogs. Not puppies or young dogs under the age of two.
Does all genetic testing and does not breed dogs that have not been completely tested and shown free of common
defects.
They want to meet you and your family. Not just once, but they want to get to know you.
Honestly, there is about 50 other things I could list here that you should be on the look out for. However, if you do a
search on Goggle or your favorite search engine for "reputable Pit Bull breeders" or "responsible Pit Bull breeders"
you will find a several sites offering a more extensive list. Oh, and remember to use the quotes in your search to
narrow it down to the specific phrases. Other wise you'll come up with thousands of Pit Bull breeder web sites.
Like I said, there are more traits and things responsible breeders do. These are the ones that I hold in high regard
and think are extremely important. My top ten if you will.
