Ok.....I'll probably be sorry for asking this but........

I met a man who claims to have a purebred pocket pit??? To my knowledge that would just be the runt of the litter would it not? Or is there a mini pit bull registery now?

Somebody enlighten me.

Yep thats about as close to a ''pocket pit'' as you will get right there.ain't no such thing as a pocket pitbull just another byb trying to line his pockets.sure there are small bulldogs but not no 5 pounds or that.

The dog this guy was braggin about was 5 years old and only weighed 25lbs. It looked deformed. He had really bad conformation, his front legs looked crooked like a basset hound.

He had really bad conformation, his front legs looked crooked like a basset hound. 25lbs is more like the itt bitty pitties...lmao... those are fine..if they were bred properly and for the right reasons.....

no such thing as a pocket pit....if the dogs were bred for the size (small or large) they are true to standard...and I wouldnt touch one with a 10ft pole!
Most likely they have been out crossed with another breed to gain the size...OR have taken all the small APBT's and bred them regardless if they actually should have been nred or not.
pocket pits are for BYB and Puppy peddlers POCKETS...in green with money!
My advice....STAY AWAY..
if you want a small line of APBT, there are quite a few out there....
and they are REAL APBT's!

While there are alot of APBT's that would weigh 25lbs. full grown...there are alot of these "pocket pits" popping up lately. My best guess is that people are doing this to compete with designer labradoodles, or cock a poos. There have been a couple of threads the last couple of months dealing with this...I'll try and post a link.

The dog this guy was braggin about was 5 years old and only weighed 25lbs. It looked deformed. He had really bad conformation, his front legs looked crooked like a basset hound.as was allready stated 25 pounds is fine,but from what you described i wouldn't even consider a dog like that.could be a dwarf dog for all you know.but low to mid 20's is fine a lot of bulldogs have been known to be that size,but from pocket pit i was thinking like 5 to 10 pounds and thats a big no no.

I heard a fairly reputable dogman talking about these "Pocket Pits" The only thing I could think of was a Patterdale Terrier. Not an APBT but a bad ass little dog none the less. Anything that can whip a badger is ok in my book. ;)Yeah i used to have some of them little dogs,best hunting and watch dog i have ever owned.those are about as close as you can get to puting a APBT in a shrinking machiene.they were absolutely fearless and fantastic hunting dogs.stubborn as all get out as far as making them do something you wanted instead of what they thought was best but yet they were easy enough to train as far as sit and such.now another good little dog is a mountain feist best varmit dog i ever used,treed coons and squirells like nobodys business.

Down here the term "pocket pit" is just a term used to describe a small dog. They're also called pocket rockets too. After all you, know the old saying - the smaller the dog the hotter the fire! lol. A pocket pit is usually in the range of 25 - 35 lbs. They're purebred pit bulls, just small.

There was one case I heard of however of a purebred pit bull who weighed in at a whopping 2 lbs. That's right - TWO lbs. His name was Freddie & he had some kind of disorder that made him so small. I came across an article on him by accident & haven't been able to find it since.

We have been to some Ukc dog shows and there were the Staffy Bulls there and their owners refered to them as pocket pits. They were between 20 and 30 lbs or so. I think it is just a nickname, not a breed name.

Yes, I knew someone who had what I believe was one. He said it was a pit. Very strong, intelligent, fierce and agile. I thought about getting one for my mom, but the dog was as strong as a tank, and darn near dislocated my shoulder. It pulled the leash , with what felt like all its might. It felt stronger than dogs 5x its size. No bigger than 15 - 18lbs. "Look"ed and acted like a APBT, only in poodle size. One thing about "pocket pits". The use of such a possibly generic term, denotes possible breed ignorance. That would be a red flag to me. I would investigate much deeper, before getting one. Now if he could better describe the breeding, and previous breeders when pressed, thats a different issue, depending on what was said.

Your mention of looking "deformed" with horrible front legs, strongly suggests it is actually "deformed" in a genetic way. The specific disease which causes this (short, bow-legged, and outlayed feet) slips my mind, and I don't feel like searching for it. Maybe someone else will know the correct term, for 90% of these "low-rider" mutants.
The technical term for the disease is called "eftupness". The layman's term is pronounce "F#$k up ness". General signs are a non dogman owner, and large chain wrapped several times around the neck.

I really like her and don't care that she's a pocket pit, if she turns out I'll probably take her to a tight T-Bud dog down here in Mexico.

BSL no matter the breed is bullshit, and should not exist...sounds alot like the people that hate our dogs so they want to ban them. You don't like it don't own it simple as that atleast they are not trying to pass them off as APBT's. BSL is in a sence a form of communism among being just flat out rediculous, and wrong. So before you say that their should be BSL against any breed I suggest you think about what you are saying.
