Let me guess you are the online clique for this site and im new here so i should bow . lol You know you have been proven wrong, and youre not wo/man enough to admit it. sad sad sad.

Tell you what lets not fight, at 2 I intend to put him in pull contest and show lets see how it goes. Remember his name and we will see. All this over a dog in guam that was probably stew 3 yrs ago.LOL Maybe some other members will go there and read the weight section and explain it to you. Its all rock hard muscle hell you guys have pits right? I'll give you my exact regimen i'm positive they will gain the same or close to it hows that for a peace gesture? But they cant do it if they have any hip issues.

LMAO actually imunique does have them, and they show them in UKC, me I am in Canada and would have to get an AmStaff, which are registered as APBT with the UKC, same dogs, just different breed name.

You dog would have to be perfect in every way other than size to beat a dog that is the proper size, be the only dog in the ring, or you would have to get a stunned judge, but hey anything is possible.

Ha Ha I got me one, and it is Pink, please click me.[url=http://dragcave.ath.cx/viewdragon/nDZ6][img]

Yes I do have them, as a matter of fact I have an out of standard one too. I dont waste my time or money showing him. I dont feed him a special regimin either, it is simple he was breed out of standard and thats just what he is out of standard. HMMM funny he is from the Gotti bloodline. 50% Gotti and 50% York. I live 20 minutes from UKC and they know me on a first name basis and if I mentioned showing him they would probably check my temp and assume I was sick.Yes you can do weight pull with him but that doesnt give you a title in the show ring.They are different titles.Weight pulling doesnt count as much for standards, but when I am looking at buying a pup and I have a choice between one who was sired by a champion weight puller and one who was sired by a champion comformation or best of breed and so on then the choice is clear.

Never ever ever dock a pit bulls tail. They were never supposed to have their tails docked. As for ears, its all about preference. You dont have to. As for me, all my dogs ears are cropped. More judges like the crop versus the rose ears. Clipping the ears is not because people fight them. LOL. There are more "game tested" dogs with ears then without. Its a general impression. You will see more show dogs with ears cropped, that doesnt mean they are "fought".

Do what you want to do with YOUR dog. If you like cropped ears go for it. If not leave them be.

I didn't clip my dogs ears or tail, but a year later, I regret that choice. I thought the same way as Sissydog did, leave them the way God intended them to be, but my baby was just attacked by another dog, and her ear is really infected and bad now. So, now I would recommend clipping the ears. The tail? Well, my dogs tail hurts the heck out of me! Big powerful dogs=big powerful tails. Ha Ha

My vet wont crop ears unless they are between 9 and 12 weeks....They started standing really good at about 6 mths. He didnt suggest tail crop because of balance issues. They dog will be fine...Mine got his done at 7 that morning I picked him up at 3, when we got home he wanted to play! They put them on pain meds for 4 days after.

O.K. i am lost here. why in the world would you cut a dogs tail off.....? A dog that is born with a tail uses it for balance, and if you cut it they walk weird and funny... and when it comes to cropping ears i have a blue male with floppy ears and could not imagine him with them cut and i also have a blue female with cropped ears either way u go they look nice but like someone else said on here my female has had more ear infections than my male has...... and for the age of when to crop honestly is any but preferably do it before they turn one so that way they can heal faster and they can grow to them......
