New to the board!

[TooHotToTrot]

Hey all,

I'm new to the board and wanted to introduce myself and my dog. My name is Jana I recently purchased a American Pit Bull puppy, a little female. She is only 11wks old right now but is shaping up to be a good looking girl. I'm excited to start conformation shows and probably agility. I would like to do weight pulling but I don't have the time to train her right now. I'm going to veterinary school and that keeps me pretty busy. My dogs name is Kiya and she is a blue brindle and white APBT. 11wks old. I'll post some pics as soon as I'm free from work. Thanks for the awesome board! We look forward to being a part of it!

Jana :cool:

that isnt a pitbull that is an american staffordshire terrier, pitbulls are not blue. u have a close cousin to the breed.

[TooHotToTrot]

No she is a pure breed pit bull. They do come in blue. She is registered with the UKC and so are both of her parents. Here is a link the the kennel I got her from. www.itsmysite.com/mcreekennels (http://www.itsmysite.com/mcreekennels)

Them dogs are like triple registered, why? ;x

[TooHotToTrot]

The breeder does a lot of showing and I think she just wants to cover all of her bases. I can show my puppy in the UKC and the ABDA. Its a good thing I think. I'm not sure on the exact reasons they are tripple registered though.

toohot,
registration doesnt mean it is a pitbull, alot of registrys will register pitbulls/amstaffs/and pitstaff crosses. believe me when i say this there is no blue pitbulls. the blue color is a color that has deemed a staff and not a pitbull, pitbulls were never bred for color, size. etc.. what u have is a currformation blue staff. the blue color is just a rarity that can rarely (very rarely) pope up when breeding white and other color dogs. staffs are currformation dogs bred for color and size etc.. pitbulls are bred for gameness and nothing else. staffs go to dog shows, pitbulls go to the box. if a person breeding pitbulls starts breeding for color size etc and not gameness as priotity they are infact breeding staffs. and those dogs u showed a picture of are staffs a very similair dog bred for different purpose but that is a different breed.

toohot,
btw the read the opening statement on their front page <TABLE height=20 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD align=middle width="99%"></TD><TD></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=center align=middle>"We at Molasses Creek, are dedicated to preservation of the American Staffordshire Terrier, and the American Pit Bull Terrier. "

u bought a staff or pitstaff cross and not a pitbull, the akc does not register pitbulls either they only register staffs. and the adba was the first pitbull registry but is loosing alot of business to the BFKC which is a pitbull registry ran by a well respected dogman named carl mims. alot of people are switching from the adba to the bfkc due to the papering of staff and pitstaff crosses and the amount of time it take for the adba to process paperwork.

TooHotToTrot-
Welcome. Your puppy is beautiful he reminds me of my dual registered UKC/AKC male. I looked at the peds on your breeders website and we both have similer Ruffian blood behind our dogs.

that isnt a pitbull that is an american staffordshire terrier, pitbulls are not blue. u have a close cousin to the breed.5555-
For years now Am Staffs have become famous for their blue variations (for example the Ruffian line) but contrary to popular belief blue is a recessive gene that resurfaces in fighting lines too. In my research I have found that Wildside Kennels comes across blue fawn and blue brindle with tight bred Nigerino blood. Check out "Wildside's Blue Possum" & "Wildside's Blue Flame". There's absolutely no staff blood in them but if you notice both there pedigrees have heavy Nigerino on top & bottom thus demonstrating that blue will only resurface if the sire & the dam both carry the "BLUE GENE". Just like red nose & tan-point.

This article breaks it down nicely. It primarely talks about tan-points but it also applies to blues & red nose. There's a picture of a blue tan-point puppy.

I'm not going to argue with anyone on the board but I know for a fact that pit bulls do come in blue. Check out this site maybe that will prove it to you. www.apbtconformation.com (http://www.apbtconformation.com) I'm tired of arguing with people on this issue. She is not a cross. Niether of her parents can register with the AKC that means that they are NOT Amstaffs they ARE pit bulls. Even if somewhere in her pedigree lies a few Amstaffs. Amstaffs are pit bulls with a different name because the AKC wanted to steer away from the whole dog fighting stigma that follows the pit bull. You can find that anywhere in any book on the breed that you read. Okay I'm done now, I just wanted to post pics of my girl not get into it about what breed she is. I know she is a pit bull and I know that pits do come in blue. Besides since when does color matter?

[TooHotToTrot]

Thank you PlainCrazy for backing me up. And thanks for the comments about my little girl.

Thank you PlainCrazy for backing me up. And thanks for the comments about my little girl.You're very welcome. Your little girl looks like she'll be a confirmation champion someday. Unfortunately my guy had emergency surgery because he had a perineal hernia. The vets had to close the muscle wall and then castrate him because testosterone breaks down muscle tissue. I used to show him in the UKC and he just needed 2 more best in show wins to become a UKC champion. Oh well...he's 7 years old now so I guess it's a good time to retire. Enjoy your new edition and keep us posted with new pictures.

[TooHotToTrot]

Thanks again planecrazy! I think so too and thats why I picked her. I'm sorry to hear about your boy's problems, thats not good at all. He could still compete in IWPA competions though. Good luck finding something for him.

and the adba was the first pitbull registry


This statement is incorrect the UKC was started just to register APBT. They were the first to recognize pit champions. Though the APBT started the registry it is currently not the main focus. The UKC was start in 1898 by Chancey Z. Bennet and the ADBA was founded in 1909 by Guy McCord.
