REGISTRATION: Most American pitbulls are registered with the UKC (United Kennel Club) . Some are registered with the ADBA (American Dog Breeders Association). Some are dual registered and are registered with the ADBA and the UKC. If you have a dog that is UKC registered you can still have it dual registered. You simply send the UKC information and a picture of the dog to the ADBA.
COLOR: American Pit bulls have a variety of colors including blue pit bull, red, fawn, black, white, piebald, and many combinations. A bluenose pitbull simply means that the dog's nose has a grey tone to it.
BLOODLINE: An American pit bull terrier's Bloodline is simply the kennel that produced the dog. If you look on your registration papers you will see a kennel name or last name of the breeder who produced each dog. When someone states they have a 50% Razors Edge dog, it simply means that 50% of the dogs in the pedigree stemmed from Razors Edge Kennel. The dog is still 100% "American Pit Bull Terrier".
MISCONCEPTIONS OF THE BREED:
- Pitbulls are born mean FALSE
- They have locking jaws FALSE
- They are born human aggressive FALSE
- They "snap" for no reason FALSE
- They are naturally aggressive towards children and small animals FALSE
- They are born killers FALSE
DOG ATTACKS: Behind every pitbull attack lies a bad owner that deliberately created an aggressive dog, or a uneducated owner that did not properly exercise and train their dog.
REAL TALK: "american pit bulls" were bred to never harm a human hand. When a pit bull attacks a person it is uncharacteristic of their breed and is looked down upon by respectable breeders.
THE BAD REP: The pitbull's bad reputation comes from the media. News channels need dramatic stories to make money. "Deadly pitbull attacks innocent child" sells better than "Man bitten in the ass by golden retriever". That's why you don't see the media focus on other breeds that attack people. It doesn't sell. Pitbull rarely attack people, but when that's the only breed that the media focuses on, it gives the impression that it happens often.
