My friends band did a video a few years back about the evils of the dog fighting industry.
Some BYB bother with paperwork, accurate or otherwise, re pedigrees. Most don’t. Subject A has a litter, advertises or tells friends, you go over-pay-and leave with a puppy. A year later you breed it and sell your own litter. You have NO way of knowing if sire or dam had fighting dogs in its line-and some people consider that more desirable! Friends of friends of friends just sell and buy puppies. No records, no regulations. Basically it’s ‘here’s a basket of pit bull puppies, a percentage of them will have hair-trigger kill instincts’-play roulette- or seek a more docile breed. I, personally,don’t believe there are more than 10% of pit bull’s alive today that do not have violent/fighting dogs in their bloodline. The number of dog fighting types breeding and selling is simply too great and every generation pollutes the breed more.
