We don't plan on taking in another APBT or any pitbull type dog until we have a house and yard, and until I learn more as far as to what lines I might be interested in, and whether I even want another APBT, or if I'd rather have an Am. Staff or Am. Bully, etc. I'm definitely learning A LOT on here when it comes to the differences, and I still have lots to learn. For the love of dogs I asked if an AST puppy was an Am. Bully hahaha. I've fallen in love with Torque, but in all honestly chances of finding such a good looking Am. Bully up here is gonna be slim. In fact pit bull type breeds aren't common here in the first place!

I have my experience with the pit bulls types, I volunteer at a shelter, have fostered a few pitbull types, and have recently put in an application to work with a Pit Bull breed specific rescue. And mind you I own Diesel So I know a lot as far as their temperaments, their tendency for D.A. and some F.A., I have read the standards for the pit bull types according to AKC, UKC, CKC, and I know a lot of the basic stuff. But when you start getting into specific types of pit bulls, lineages, breeders, and registries... that I'm not all too familiar with.

My main point... if you don't feel like reading the above!


I am still trying to figure out all the navigation on this site and what categories and sub categories I can search though. But I would love personal opinions too...
1. What are some of the better lines for Am. Bully, APBT, and Am. Staffs. [I know that everyone claims to have Notorious, Razor "pit bulls" lol, that's about it. And I know from on here Colby is a good APBT line, but I'm not a fan of the white/brindle spotted dogs.] I'd like to read up on all the different quality lines that are out for each breed.

2. For someone wanting a papered dog, what is your registry of choice when picking an Am. Bully, Am. Staff, APBT? I know there's the UKC, Can.KC, AKC, ADBA... but the AKC does not recognize the APBT. It seems like some of the other registries aren't reliable though... ex: registering Am. Bully as Am. Pitbull Terrier [Just had a lady show my papers with Razors &Notorious by the UKC saying the dog was Am. Pitbull???] I have head people on hear who like the UKC as well though. And I have seen ADBA on here lots, but have also saw where someone said their papers were crap.

3. Outside of attending events, because where I live it will be hard to travel to every event when I don't have a dog participating, what is the best way to find good breeders who are reputable and that I can establish a relationship/contact with? I do plan on attending some events this coming year in British Columbia just won't be able to make them all since it's a 13hr drive. I will probably make it down 3-4 times. If I find an ADBA schedule for any Alberta events I may be able to attend more. I'd like to get Diesel into some fun shows and some good sports!


Mainly I'd love opinions from you guys, and any helpful links! I can google til the sun comes up but I find that the internet is overflowing with a lot of incorrect information about these breeds. So it'd be nice to have some reliable links! And anything off PBC would be nice... I'm trying to find all the history sections etc.


Thanks!
