I would just rather not go to the Pound/AC and get a dog. I don't really have time for a dog that can just be a pet. All of the dogs I own are working dogs. They serve some purpose or will be serving some purpose soon. Weather it is Hog hunting, Show, WP,Obedience,French ring, schutzhund etc etc. Yes, I realize dogs from the pound/animal control can do
some of those things and be good at them but when I look for a dog I look for a well bred American Pit bull Terrier, that is up to standard with work ethic and the willingness to please. I also want a dog thats parents have done something to make them worthy of being bred, not just some pretty paper'd animal or some byb mutt. You know more of what your getting knowing your dogs background and what its parents where like.
You don't know what your getting AT ALL when you get a dog from the pound. I don't want a dog with human aggressive parents, and your dog could vary well have HA parent(s) and some of it's parents HA qualities. Also when you look at the dog just because it looks like a Pit bull type dog doesn't mean it is. For example, someone dumped a little merle color Pit bull type puppie and tied it to the light post on my block. I went and got it, feed it, trained it a bit and got it spayed. Then I gave it to a friend of mine who has been wanting a pet. A went back to look at the dog a couple month later and it looks nothing like an APBT. It has a long shedding coat,a longer muzzle, blue eyes, and lives for hunting birds but as a pup it looked allot like an APBT type dog.
I am not trying to argue and I am not trying to knock you rescue people nor am knocking your dogs but they are just not for me.
