I think you might appreciate an explanation here. When you mentioned you'd bought a mix from a breeder, you ran up against this board's culture. While plenty of people here like pits and similar dogs, and their mixes, there's a strong belief that it's wrong to deliberately create mixed-breed dogs while there are so many dogs being killed in shelters for lack of homes.

You don't have to agree with this, but it is an attitude you'll come across repeatedly here.

I have to disagree with part of this post. Yes, there are many dogs in shelters needing homes. Yes, many of those dogs are killed. But it is my experiance that some of the dogs are not killed for lack of homes, they are killed because the shelter workers or the shelter policy makes it impossible for the dogs to be adopted. Several years ago I tried to adopt an adorable Bassett Hound, but was denied because I already owned one dog. Less than a week after I applied for adoption, the dog was killed because the shelter couldn't find him a home. Adopting a dog is harder than adopting a child in many cases. No wonder people go elsewhere for puppies. Not that I am against adopting or rescuing...... My Buddy is a rescue...... but if a person is willing, financially able, and has a home suitable for the dog in question, why would some shelters deny the adoption and kill the dog?

By the way...... I think the pittie/bullmastiff mis pup is adorable! Better for him that he was bought by a loving, caring owner than sent to the pound or used for fighting or baiting. He looks like a well-loved part of the family.

not implying that this is how/where/why you got him or he was bred but I have heard of bullmastiff x pit, rottie x pit etc in disreputable breeders claiming they make far more aggressive guard dogs, and some claiming they make better fighting dogs.
just to point out, none of us know anything except that the original poster got the dog/puppy from a breeder. for all we know "breeder" could be a very generalized term in this case, referencing someone who simply owned a female and although its irresponsible they may have "accidentally" let her get pregnant.
the original poster didnt say how much the puppy cost or if it cost nothing.
even if the breeders purpose was to make money by selling these mixed breeds as better guard and/or fighting dogs...I get a strong impression that this owner (original poster) is a great owner.
sorry, just had to say that because some of the replies (mine and others) could be mistaken as looking down at you for getting a mixed breed from a breeder. hopefully we can avoid any comments that would be rude without mistaking their intentions.
gorgeous boy.

Here is the link to Ace's breeders page http://members.shaw.ca/dezoo/NewLitter.htm
Ace is the last pup in the top row, we paid $500 for Ace but he's actually priceless to us and just to let you know, we did our homework before we even decided to go and look at the pups and if you read under the "About Us" you'll learn more about the breeder. I admit i was very lerious to begin with because Ace's father is pure Am Staff but after meeting and spending a little time with Ace's Dad Ceasar and his Mom Kato i was convinced that if we raised this pup properly we would have a very good dog. I have owned many dogs in my day even breed Bichon Friese's for years and i will honestly say i have never owned such a well behaved, lovable, friendly dog as Ace in my life and i will never again speak poorly of the Am Staff bred....just the bad breeders and the bad owners. Ace is an extremly powerful dog and if this type of dog isn't raised properly then we are to blame, not the dog!
