i know that what im about to do will probably get me flamed on here and i want to start by saying i have no intentions of changing my mind. if the only response anyone has for me is just to not do it or to try and talk me out of it, save your breath, i am not the type to be talked out of something once i set my mind to it.

ok, now that were passed that, a little about myself. i am in my 30's ive owned, lived with, raised, and taken care of numerous bulldogs over the years and i consider myself to be a VERY experienced owner. when i was a youngin my father used to breed pitbulls but he got tired of it when he got older so i have limited 2nd hand knowledge of breeding. currently, i own 2 bulldogs now. 1 male APBT with a decent pedigree. hes a beautiful, strong, willful dog and hes only 4 months old. i also own an unregistered female, about 5 years old, whom i have no interest in breeding. she is just a dog that i was supposed to be taking care of for someone temporarily but it turned into a permanent situation. my living conditions are suitable for the housing of multiple bulldogs.

now, WHY i want to breed. all my life since i was small ive owned some kind of bulldog, whether it be APBT or AMSTAFF even had a blue bully once. everywhere i look around here i see pitbulls for sale and very few of them are what i would consider to be worthy of breeding. in fact, most arent even pure bred dogs and are unregistered. the only registered pitbulls i see for sale in the area are the blue bully type which i may call a pitbull i definitely dont consider them an APBT despite what registry disagrees with me. what i want to do and what im GOING to do is acquire 2 quality bulldogs, one of which i am already the VERY proud owner of, and breed what i consider to be a more traditional, TRUER version of the APBT to not only help keep the breed alive, but educate people on what a true APBT really is.

ive seen many people online who criticize people for breeding dogs that arent show champions or weight pulling champions and i want to put it out there that i have ZERO interest in attending or having any of my dogs compete in any shows. dog shows and events just dont suit me.

i already have a couple different people i can go to for advice but i figured it couldnt hurt to come on here and learn all i can since i have plenty of time to prepare for all this. if there are any questions i can answer let me know and ill try to answer as best i can. thanks in advance for any constructive posts and advice you can all give.
