i think it just depends on what your plans on for an APBT puppy. i only plan on buying from a real reputable APBT breeder, if i was planning on showing in conformation, weight pulling, agility, dock diving, etc with the UKC, ADBA etc. otherwise if i just want a pet quality puppy/dog, i'll get one from a rescue/shelter. i think its silly for people to buy a pet quality puppy from a reputable breeder if they are NOT into showing or working, but thats just me. i understand they want a puppy with a known background, parents history, pedigree, papers etc, etc. still there are millions of pet quality puppies and dogs in shelters, if you just want a PET. ---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ---------- Starting Out In Agility Weight Pulling
