moving...

[Wilson]

in about 6 months my lease is up and i am looking to move out of the state i currently reside in...my first choice is to move to colorado (someplace around ft. collins with a little bit of land and neighbors that arent too close)and second is northwest...i was wondering if any of you had any thoughts on how the breed is out there, not a bsl question, just - are there breeders?, what bloodlines do they mostly run?, etc. one factor in where i go is that there are good dogs in the area and good dog-people...any help is greatly appreciated

Some apartments in Fort Collins have a pitbull ban, as would be expected, though the city itself does not ban pits.
Here is a rescue there: http://www.petfinder.org/shelters/CO200.html

as far as breeders, enter your info in this site: http://www.doggies.com/American_Pit_...errier/Arizona

and see what yah come up with.

I hear "Colorado" and I instantly think of Denver. (cringe) we all know what happened to all the pits there....

also, look here:

good luck in your search.

Yup, I would steer clear of Colorado, just because the Denver fiasco. If theres enough idiots in Denver, my guess is the surrounding areas arent much better....

I'm in VA. I say Idaho just because your out west and Idaho seems to be a safe State. You can move to VA we have many good dog folks hear.

There are plenty of good places in colorado for dogs. Just stay away from the cities. The Pac Norwest is a little freindler with the dogs. I lived there for some time I now livenin Colorado. What kind of dogs are you interested in?

IDAHO IS SAFE FOR NOW...HOWEVER THERE ARE TWO SINGLE CITIES WITH ACTIVE BSL. ONE IS 100 MILES AND THE OTHER IS 500 MILES AWAY FROM ME.

Don't ban pit bulls; regulate dog owners
