Facts on Blue Pitbulls

The rise in popularity of blue pitbulls has been on the rise the past decade with the ever-increasing interest in the dogs themselves. The interest is spawned from the media coverage that a pitbull gets when it attacks someone however; this fact is pretty uncommon also. It's hard to say how many people are attacked by pitbulls in a year because many are owners attacked and go largely unreported however, on average in the United States there are only a reported 3-4 cases a year. There is no reason to speculate on why or try to understand why these things happen but blue pitbulls haven't been an issue, yet.

What is a Blue Pitbull?

A blue pitbull is a pitbull is interbred with another species of pitbull to achieve the desired effects such as a blue pitbull. In Ireland many hundreds of years ago, the breeders wouldn't allow this practice to happen because they kept pedigrees a secret and it was thought of as a highly protected secret. This ties in to blue pitbulls because when the gene pool is relatively small it can increase recessive traits such as blue pitbulls.

The blue pitbull is just a dilution of black that looks blue to the human eye and the regular pitbull started getting variety called the blue pitbull. Its imperative to realize having said this that sometimes breeding these dogs to one another for too many generations can cause unknown and known problems and perhaps this is the case of excessive aggression displayed in some blue pitbulls.

How Can I Get a Blue Pitbull and What is the Cost?

A blue pitbull can be extremely hard to locate because they are very rare and in high demand so its not a common thing to find one. Most pitbull breeders, if they have a blue pedigree will constantly try to breed them to produce more but there is no guaranteed equation to make a blue pitbull. The breeders try to have them but due to these reasons it is sometimes a lengthy wait to acquire this rare pet. The general rule of thumb in trying to find a blue pitbull is to put your name on a waiting list and then once they become available you can go and have your pick of the litter.

For a price. Blue pitbulls are extremely expensive and depending on how many dogs were in the litter, and what order of litter picking you are, the price can be even more inflated for first choice, second choice and so on. Blue pitbulls can be upwards of two thousand dollars and usually a down payment is required much like buying a house.

how much could i charge to stud my blue staffordshire bull terrier dog?

i have a blue staffordshire bull terrier and i want to know how much i could stud him for i know normally its pick of the litter or the price of a puppy hes not kc reg but he is pedigree! someone told me i can stud him from as early as 5 months old is this true?

Not much since he's not KC reg and obviously has not proved himself in the show ring. To be honest the only people that would use an unregistered dog as a stud are back yard breeders. The puppies cannot be registered as he isn't so they are not worth much. You will need to get him hipscored and eye tested before you breed regardless of registration. This costs around £450.

On a wider scale, shelters up and down the UK are full of Staffies, and with one stud dog you can add to the population by hundreds, that's hundreds of dogs that will die because there are not enough homes. As a stud dog owner you have to think about the welfare of the animals you are helping create not the money he can make you.

If you want to use him as a stud it should be for the purpose of bettering the breed.
