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 dont 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 dont 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 dont 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.
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.
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 of 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.
