What bloodline should I get?

[REBELWEST]

Hi everyone,I'm new to the forum but have always loved pit bulls!The first pit I can remember was my dads,he was awesome.He was a recovered fighting dog named butch.About 14 months ago I got Rebel,and since then all I can think about is pits.I was thinking of getting another pit bull and would like everyones opion on what they think would be the best bloodline for me.I want a pure oldschool pitbull,nothing to big.Thank you for your time and I hope that I do not offend anyone.Nick

Welcome!! :D


I think we can help you better if you explain a bit more. How do you plan on containing the dog? How do you plan on exercising it? What are your expectations on it's temperament? (Obviously friendly with people but what about other dogs? Small animals?) How long will the dog be left alone during the day? Do you plan on leaving it alone with any other animal? How much one on one time are you planning on giving it? How much exercise? Exactly how big? Why do you want it? (pet, show, weight pull, ect.) Anything else you could add about you and your lifestyle would help us suggest a good breeder or bloodline. We are here to serve. lol

I live in Kentucky in a very open place,there is plenty of room around my house for him.I exercize Rebel everyday and would do so with another dog.As for temperament I would hope that he/she would or could get along with Rebel,but if not I could keep them seperate.Other than that there are no other animals around.I work of the day,when I'm gone my mother lets Rebel out and also plays with him. By "BIG" I just meant that I wanted a pure pit bull and not a cross with a bulley.The average size of a pit is fine.As for the reason,I just have went crazy over Rebel and think that I could give another pit a good home.Nick

Everything pit bull 30 has said please give those details, they would be very helpfull. Here is some sites for you to check out on some good old school bloodlines.

http://tom-garner-kennels.com/ -chinaman bloodline, about 35-45 lbs pits from this kennel. Great dogs.

http://www.caragankennel.com/ -don't know the bloodline, but if your looking for great show dogs here you go, most of their dogs are from Matrix Kennels, http://www.matrixkennels.com/ check their dogs out.

sorry right now don't have time, and can't provide you with more info, here is another, if you like these kind of "pits"

http://muglestonspitbullfarm.com/ blue noses that are 85-120 lbs.

Good looking dog. He has a beautiful color.

Caragan Kennel has Lar-San bred dogs as does Matrix. Their dogs are OFRN through Hemphill/Wilder lines. Great looking dogs. Not overdone like a lot of show dogs. They haven't really been bred for game for quite a few generations now. If you want to go the show route these are probably the best you'll find. They do well in UKC, ADBA, or AADR.


BTW, pretty dog!



Here are some examples of Lar-san bred dogs.

Chances are, if you get another pit bull, especially a gamebred one, you're going to need to get a proper chain set-up, maybe even two, to prevent fights. (Do a search on it if you need help.) If you're prepared for that and understand you should NEVER trust a pit bull not to fight, then I wish you luck in getting another doggie. :D

Since it sounds like you just want a pet and not a dog for working purposes, I would suggest you adopt. You can find an adult female with the temperament that suits your lifestyle and appearance you like. Or you can still go the puppy route. There are a lot of them in shelters and rescues.

If you decide to buy, the bloodline you choose is no guarantee for an individual dog's characteristics. I would probably worry more about picking out the puppy in the litter that seems the most laid back than stereotypes about different lines. Not saying blood shouldn't be considered, but, again, it doesn't assure you a typical [insert bloodline here] dog. ;)

[Scratchy]

If you're not going to be working the dog then I suggest adopting and whatever you decide to do, if you want your dogs to be future best friends forever then I would also recommend getting a dog of opposite sex and with a submissive temperment. Of course you can't judge that in a pup so that's where tidious training comes in our your part. As for bloodlines someone else can be of more help.

Rebel looks real good! Looks like like my boy Rocco when he was a pup.

Rebel is a good looking boy! Welcome to the forum and Good Luck in your search for a new dog!!

[puregame]

If you can find some dogmen/dogwomen with open yards, you should go see some dogs for yourself. I think you should go out and see a few dogs from different bloodlines and then make a decision.

It should be hard for anyone to tell you what "you" are going to like....

Good luck in your search.

Listen To Crazyk9. Good Advice There. Adopt One Of The Good Ones That Dont Have A Chance In The World And Are On Thier Way To Death, You Need Look No Further Than Your Local County Shelter. It Would Be An Honorable Thing To Do, And You Are Likely To Find A Very Well Tempered Animal To Play With That Other Good Looking Dog You Have. I Doubt You Want Anything As High Strung As What You Are Likey To Recieve In A Game Bred Dog.

[puregame]

I agree with GameTest and CrazyK9. If Your just looking for a pet to play with and be a buddy for your other dog, go check out a shelter or rescue dog. There are some wonderful animals that are given up by their owners and need new homes.

Much as I appreciate the nod to my favorite breeder (Matrix), Caragan's dogs don't come from them.

Scot (Matrix) is an awesome guy who breeds awesome dogs, but he's not easy to get a dog from, that's for sure. The waiting list is generally full, and he doesn't breed a lot. Here's another Matrix dog:

LOVE this picture!

Choosing a bloodline is a difficult task because there is no right or wrong. If there was a definite right choice all of us would have the same bloodline. The fact is choosing is primarily based on personal preference, whatever you like in a dog. I suggest you look at several dogs and try to see which bloodlines produce the type of dog strikes your interest. Worst thing to do is base your decision on someone else's preference.
