I am wanting any information on gator pitbulls. My niece wants one.

RubyPitbull · Sep 15, 2007, 07:30 AM

"Gators" refers to the bloodline. Please see this link for information:
https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/w...nes-18316.html

The bloodlines have been completely watered down over the years, and it is not worth paying a great deal of money for one of them. Frankly, with all the pitbulls to be found in shelters and rescues across the U.S. if your niece is truly a dog lover, she should consider rescuing one of these puppies that would otherwise be euthanized. Please see this link: petfinders.com do a search on pitbulls. There are thousands that are looking for good caring homes.

I agree with Ruby. With the bloodline so far down the breeding line, you are not guaranteed a quality dog. Checking out the rescue site or your local shelter is a very good idea.

I recently bought a gator pit and the one significant difference in this pit and my other one is that my new gator pit has double fangs!! It is quite hard to believe but it is true. I can show pics if you don't believe. She is more of a sandy color than brown. Most gator pits have a sandy color tone to them (from what I have seen) The other difference is their behavior, she was one of the most aggressive pits I ever had. By that I don't mean she would attack people but I just mean that she was extra hyper. Always wanting to run and jump and always being real playful. One thing I know is that most pitbulls that attack are the product of people that don't treat their dogs fairly. They only reciprocate the behavior their owners have shown them. Out of all the pitbulls I have had, none of them have bitten me or any one of my children. Other than that, a gator pit basically means the same as buying a "blue" pit or "red-nose", its just a moniker people put on dogs based on their character traits.

My mil has a chihuai and she has double fangs... what does that mean? I just thought it meant she needed dental work. Teeth are straight just double fangs. She is 1 year old.

RubyPitbull · Dec 27, 2007, 12:50 PM

LOL bushg. Maybe your MIL's chihuahua isn't really a full chihuahua but is a direct descendant of the Gator line of pitbulls!

The double fangs is a recessive genetic trait. It is not anything that is consistent within any breed.

Areyna, your new pit's personality sounds just like my rescued red nose when I first adopted her.

Ruby when we first brought Cricket to her she was a fraid that she was a pit... she is red and white... I had to keep assuring that a pit puppy would be so much larger than her. I will see if my kids can load some of her pictures on here.. yeah it was so funny... because mil thinks that pits are meaner than the average dog... but I'm working on her.

RubyPitbull · Dec 27, 2007, 03:06 PM

LOL bushg! I would love to see some pics.

bushg · Dec 27, 2007, 03:29 PM

This is miss Cricket before she had her name we were told she was about 3 months old here. She has on an old sock that we cout holes in to keep her warm... that pic was maybe a day afetr she was brought in off a country porch living with a cat. This is a flea market dog... sad, sad, sad. Her ears did not stand up until she was about 8 months old so now she is all ears.

RubyPitbull · Dec 27, 2007, 03:32 PM

LOL! I can't believe your MIL thought she was a pit! Love the pink toenails! LOL! Very cute.

bushg · Dec 27, 2007, 03:34 PM

Lol, I think she was going by her coloring and her nose... I still laugh thinking about... It is so awesome how much this dog is loved.

Few if any true descendants of Gator exist. A lot of people name drop Gator,Boudroux,Ole Family,Capitino,etc. Also several thousand dogs are registered each year with "GATOR" being part of the name. The second fang is very common.Its simply a longer than usual eye tooth.My Basit Hounds all have them so do my pits and my Dogo Argintino. Dogs with the long eye tooth do seem to hang on tighter ,but it is not anything special.I recomind going to Sporting Dog Online's Picture page to see a picture of the real Gator. He is quite the homley fella. Gator was an effective Game Dog , but no where near what people claim.Get a true champion something with a "CH" in the name that didn't come from trhe show circuit. Try a "ch"ART, "ch"Jeep, or any thing with Honey Bunch as the matriarch. They are consistently better,more reliable than Gator Dogs

carolbcac · Jan 22, 2008, 09:08 PM

Your double fangs may also be retained baby teeth that didn't come out when they should.
If that's what they are, they usuually need to be surgically extracted because they crowd the other teeth and seem to collect all kinds of gunk.
(BTW, I would rather meet a Pit Bull in a dark alley than a Chihuahua, LOL, although the sock and pink toenails make her less intimidating!)

Bullys4life · May 29, 2008, 11:15 AM

I agree with all of you above. I have only rescued dogs from the humane society I am also on the pitbull rescue list and have a friend that works at the humane society. None the less You should definitely look around your local shelters before considering paying a chunk of change on a dog.

You have no idea what you are talking about! First of all it is not gator it is ALLIGATOR, nothing like blue lol this is a bloodline and you can still find it real tight.

They have been watered down a lot but you can still find some very good breeders of this line. A guy in Alabama has some great ones!

RWuest · Oct 13, 2008, 08:21 PM

Bloodlines like that are just inbreeds. I don't recommend getting one. Finding a dog from a pitbull rescue is a much better idea.

Inbred dogs have tons of health problems, and are more prone to being aggressive.

SweetDee · Oct 14, 2008, 10:56 AM

I have had a few laughs reading some of these threads... LMAOOOO!

I just hope when you do get your "gator" Pitt you'll be one of those conscienceous doggy parents that make sure the dog is well trained and a big sweetheart...

Ok, please?

I know it's not a "gator" pit it's the alligator bloodline that was produced by a guy name Gary Hammonds from Texas. I have been involed with these dogs for more than 28 years!
