WHK asked:


I have been looking for around 6 months for a decent kennel for APBT’s. I am looking to switch directions from weight pulling and start to get into Schutzhund.

I would like to find a good pup from SchH lines, but having a difficult time finding a decent breeder period. I understand Pit Bulls were not bred for guard, but I have seen alot of Pit Bulls in Schutzhund recently at competitions, I even asked where they got their dogs but none were from SchH dogs, I know there has to be some kennels that breeds for it.

Traveling is not an issue, I do want to go to the kennel before i put down a deposit.Anyways I am very strict for breeders (probably why I have not found one yet). Here are a couple things I want in a breeder, and a few things that i dont want.

* Must be from working dogs.
* Preferably has a few generations of SchH titled dogs (or just parents is fine). Or if you know of a good kennel with dogs titled in weight pull.
* I would like a breeder that titled their dogs in more than one sport.
* Must have all proper health tests done on parents
* only UKC/ADBA reg.
* NO BLUES ( no blue, champagne, blue fawn, blue brindle etc. coat color)
* no breeding of faulty overweight out of standard dogs (american bully mutts)
* No American Staffordshire Terriers.
* NO dogs with Razorsedge, Gotti, Gator, Greyline, York, Carver etc.
* Although it is not the most important thing to me, it is important. Coat color. I want a red/ fawn/ chocolate/ buckskin or any variation of a “red”. even brindle.

Here is a great site, but their requirements are ridiculous and they do not believe training in Schutzhund. http://www.matrixkennels.com/ourdogs.html
Their dogs are beautiful, exactly what I want. But it defeats my purpose.

Anyways sorry that was so long, but I really appreciate the help. If you know of any good kennels that may fit what I am looking for please post their site. Thanks.
Bobbie - And so what if I asked it yesterday I got one decent answer, and it wasnt yours. If I wanted a GSD would I be asking about Pit Bulls? No. so stop with the useless info and either post a kennel or shut your mouth. Pit Bulls are one the most versatile breeds, been around them for over 30 years I think i know what I am doing. No point in being an assshole either help or move on.
Yea ive looked at that site before, good dogs I like them, just like to see if there is anything else.
Thanks RB.

Yea Caragan has some beautiful dogs.

Which is the better family dog or atleast has the better reputation as family dog?

Interested in all these breeds

What kind of owner or family do they need, how much exercise and what type of training?

ADD: A little about our family.

2 adults and 1 child. Well the child will be born this winter and her name is Chyler.

We have 2 dogs currently but have been wanting a third but that will have to wait until Chyler is older. OUr current dogs are a 2 year old poodle and a 1 year old Terrier mix.

In the past I have had 2 poodles and a Shih tzu (At my moms and at my dads 2 labs, a beagle and a maltese)

My husband had an old english sheepdog, a schnauzer, and a Chow Chow

We like to travel and take our dogs with us. WE do travel a lot. to the beach and mountains and such

What kind of owner or family do they need, how much exercise and what type of training?

Thanks so much

We aren’t looking for another dog right now. Probably not until our daughter is between the age of 7 and 10 just like hearing about possible future breeds
ADD; I forgot to add that I have worked with Boxers in the past

shes 2 and gets walked everyday with a backpack to release extra energy she has gone to basic training and is a great dog except those annoying little habits. Im at my wits end and my husband is threatning to get rid of her. I could use any kind of advice. Ive tried puttin **** in the holes, and then she also chews on anything left out I put a pool for the kids she chewed on that too. She has toys and I spend lots of time with her. She also has my other dog for companionship. I was told it could be boredom. How? I dont know. I take her to the park to practice agility training its becoming more than a full time job on her and she still gets in to trouble HELP!!!!! I love my dog and am more than willing to work with her I just dont know what else to do. Ive had her for a year and she has come along way from the nervous shy dog I first found at the shelter. Could it be Im not the right owner for her? She is a I think a australian shep\ corgie mix and who knows what else. But I love her!
