As breeders and lovers of the American Pitbull Terrier we strive to promote the highest standards imaginable in our pets.
We keep accurate records, and retain those records to keep track of where and with whom our dogs are placed. These records include but are not limited to: stud service contracts, pedigrees, all litters produced and all dogs/puppies sold. I use the "Breeder's Records" that the UKC provides to me.
We plan each and every breeding with every intention of improving the breed. I select my studs and bitches based on the following: conformation, temperament, working instinct, and ability. We do not breed any male or female until they are both physically and mentally mature. Before entering a stud or breed contract we will scrutinize the pedigree, conformation, temperament, and working potential of both the sire and dam, keeping in mind the breed standards. I have every obligation to refuse the breeding or sale of any dogs/puppies if in my opinion it is not in the best interest of the breed or dog. If I refuse the sale or breeding of any dogs I will explain my reasons for doing so. I will not breed any dogs with vicious or shy temperaments, or dogs with serious defects. I will encourage the buyers of pet quality pups to have them spayed or neutered.
We maintain high standards of health and care for my dogs, and guarantee the health of my puppies at the time of sale.
SALES
We will be discriminating in the sale of our puppies, and concerned with the type of homes in which they are placed. My dogs/puppies will not be sold to dog wholesalers or retailers. Puppies must be picked up by 10 weeks of age or they will be put back up for sale.
I will transfer all registration papers at the time the purchase agreement is completed and it is agreeable to both parties. Upon the sale of a dog/puppy, I will provide the buyer with a properly executed UKC REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE, diet record, inoculation and parasite control record, and a health guarantee.
I will not release any of my puppies until they are atleast 7 weeks old or 8 weeks old if the puppy is to be shipped.
