People think that finding Boston terrier dogs for sale would be a very easy task. However, people need to know that there's more to finding Boston terrier dogs for sale than looking in the phone book or in the classified ads. For one thing, the breeder often reflects the quality of the pet.

Today, many of the Boston terrier dogs for sale are bred by "puppy farms" which exist solely to breed and sell pet dogs. These "puppy farms" are profit-oriented and are therefore natural breeding grounds for animal cruelty. It is often the case that the puppies born in these farms are taken away from their mothers as soon as they are big enough to sell. They are often malnourished as a result of the cost-cutting methods of these farms.

When you are trying to find Boston terrier dogs for sale, you need to look for a breeder who genuinely cares for the animals. This will assure you that the animal is well taken care of and will survive more than a few weeks in your care.

Another reason to look for this type of Boston terrier dogs for sale is genetics. When you buy from a puppy farm, all the owner cares about is the profits. As long as a puppy looks good enough to be sold, it is sold. A great dog breeder, however, knows that breeding goes far beyond determining the appearance of a dog. When you are looking for Boston terrier dogs for sale, you need to look for a breeder who knows that breeding also determines the temperament of a dog.

When you go looking for Boston terrier dogs for sale, you need to find a pet that would suit your temperament. While a low-class breeder would tell you to buy a dog because the puppy looks cute, a great dog breeder would tell you to buy a specific dog because it fits your personality.

When you are looking for Boston terrier dogs for sale, you need to find a breeder who will not push the dog towards you but will truly take the time to know if you are fit to own a dog.

When you are looking for Boston terrier dogs for sale, you need to look for a seller who would be willing to take back the dog if you somehow neglect it. Do not go for sellers who will exchange the puppy for cash and then walk away. A great breeder will leave you with a way to contact him or her in case you change your mind.

Another way to find the best kinds of Boston terrier dogs for sale is to look for the proper documentation. Often, true breeders will be able to provide pedigrees that can trace back the lineage of a puppy. Through this, you know that you are buying the best.

I've heard people say that numerious times. Why do they say that?

This breed of dog, also fondly called as APBT, is known for its loyalty and intelligence. The dogs with this breed make excellent companions since they are very aggressive because of their protective nature.

How, then, are they different from the Staffies? For the UKC or the United Kennel Club, Staffies and APBT are of the same breed but many disapprove of this suggestion. For instance, if the American Kennel Club has an American Staffordshire terrier, it will be registered as an American pit bull terrier by the United Kennel Club. Furthermore, many breeders noted that their lineages have been separate for a long time already for these dogs to be still considered as having the same variety.

Meanwhile, the American Kennel Club does not register a UKC-listed American pit as an American Staffie. In order to gain dual-registry, the dog must initially be recorded as an AKC American Staffie before it can be listed with the UKC as an American pit bull, and not the other way around.

The following are some of the basic facts breeders would really love to know about APTBs:

Category: Terrier

Living Environment: either outdoor or indoor

Coat: smooth, shiny, thick, and short

Colors: color varies

Height: between 18 and 22 inches

Weight: between 30 and 60 pounds

Temperament: courageous, full of energy, and loyal; should be socialized early on with other animals especially with children

Health Issues: heart murmurs and mange

Care and Exercise:
- Bathe when necessary.
- Brush their coat only occasionally using a brush with firm bristles.
- Rub down their coat with a towel or a chamois to remove hairs that are loose.
- Their physique requires a regular exercise routine which includes a daily play time and/or running along a bicycle while on a leash.
- They should be on leash while walking in public places.

Origin/History:

The ancestors of APBT came to the US in the mid-1800s with some Irish-Boston immigrants. Like the Staffie, they were originally bred from bulldogs and terriers. Since APBT is a forerunner to the Staffie, it was also molded to be a fighting dog. However, the Americans made their variety some pounds heavier and trained them to have a more powerful head.

Bull baiting and dog baiting were prohibited in England so bull terriers were no longer bred for bouts. It is in America where the pit bull also gained its popularity for many uses and reasons like:

1.It was used to embody the country in one WW1 artwork.
2.Well-known companies like the Buster Brown Shoe Company and even RCA used the breed as mascots.
3.Petie, a pitbull, was one of the stars in, "Our Gang", a well sought children's TV series.
4.A mix breed called Stubby was transformed into a popular and decorated WW1 hero.
5.Pits became good companies of pioneer families on their journeys.
6.Jack, a working pit bulldog was owned by Laura Wilder of lines of books called "Little House."
7.Popular people like Helen Keller and US President Theodore Roosevelt owned the variety.

Here is some history about the cause of dilemma regarding the registries of APBTs.

In 1898, the United Kennel Club or UKC was structured to provide fighting guidelines and registration for APBT as fighting dogs. Later, there were breeders who shun away from dog fighting so they asked the AKC to recognize their pits so they would be fit for performance events like dog shows.

In 1935, the AKC approved of their petitions but the dogs were registered as Staffordshire Terriers, naming them after the little province in England that the breed was known to have originated from. Thus, many breeders have dogs that have dual-registry.

It is interesting to note that Petie, which was one of the stars in the, "Our Gang" TV series was the first breed that was dual-registered to be Staffordshire Terrier/Pit Bull. However, the UKC later started registering other performing-type varieties and they also began holding dog shows comparable to those of the American Kennel Club.

The AKC soon sealed its studbooks to APBTs. They allocated registration to those pit breeds with lineages that are listed as Staffies. For a little time during the 1970s, the AKC disclosed the American pits to their studbooks.

In 1973, the American KC decided to add the word "American" with the pit's name to discriminate it from a Staffie. At present, those dogs with mixed APTB-StaffIe parents are recognized by UKC and even the American Dog Breeders' Association as "American pits or American pit bull terriers."

Nowadays, the pit has employed as search and rescuers, police/armed service dogs, livestock workers, and even as therapy animals because they are good as companions and working dogs.

Moreover, the variety can even compete in dog sports such as herding, obedience, and conformation, French Ring, and Schutzhund. Breeds of this type can be very loving as pets for everyone. The physical demands and harshness of various activities developed a healthy, strong, and stable animal.

If you want to have an APBT as a pet, be sure that the puppy is handled well and properly socialized. A solid and good training will surely produce an obedient, tranquil, and good companion or even a working dog!

I am familiar with the tea cup and the miniature, but have never heard of the teddy bear.

Please give a reliable source if possible. thanks.

I've always tried not to believe all the hype about pit bulls, but in a way, it seems like their aggression is triggered more easily than other breeds. I know a lot of pit bulls have bad owners. But still... I'm just curious. I've never met an APBT who was sweet, but I'd really like to. (I'm 15) The ones I've met have been standoffish, with a look on their face like, 'If you pet me, I'll bite." And that's with their owners standing right next to them. I've also been charged by roughly 10-15 APBTs. Yes, I know the diffference b/w APBT's and other look-a-likes. Stupid people always let their dogs loose & someone even purposely released his PB on us (my friend & I, & our dogs). Luckily, I know how to back them down. But anyway, I'm not against pits at all. I actually really love them and hope to own one one day. I'm just wondering if they /are/ in fact, prone to aggression more than other breeds. I mean, after all, they /have/ been bred to fight and kill for many years, so you'd think...?
Actually... Yes, there is a pit bull breed. It's an American Pitbull Terrier. An AmStaff is a different breed. They're smaller....
Melissa:
Wow, that sounds like a perfect answer. =)
I've never heard of the high arousal thing with pits. No one's ever mentioned that. But it seems like that pretty much explains it. =P When I get a PB, I'm going to make sure the line it's from haven't had any aggression issues. And I'm definitely going to socialize it very well. =)
"and PS: Pitbulls DO NOT have a locking jaw. It's a myth"

Heheh, I know. =P I lmao off when I see people saying they have a locking jaw. xD
Haha, oops, my mistake. =P
I was thinking of the Staffy Bull Terrier instead of AmStaff. Yeh... But the AmStaff is the "show dog" version of an APBT... Anyway... xD
Stripes:
Yeh, I was actually going to get a pit bull last year, but the pound over here doesn't adopt them out. -_- They either put them to sleep or send them to a rescue... And it's just b/c they're pit bulls or pit mixes. Even a dog resembling a pit bull, they can't adopt out. It's their "policy". Pfft... -_- So, I got my husky mix instead, from the newspaper, though. =P
