Reply:If your puppy is purebred, the breeder is required to provide you with registration papers.
Reply:get the tail clipped.
Reply:I would say yes if the dog did it with the boy dog but the boy dog as to be a pitbull to.
Reply:Just because a dog is purebred doesn't mean it can't have defects.
Reply:Purebred dogs are registered by the breeder.





Hopefully papers wont affect how you feel about your lil cutie. :) Love her reguardless. So she's not designer, dosn't mean she can't be the best doggie ever. ^_-
Reply:well you should get in contact with the breeder you got the pitbull from and ask him if you can see the papers, then you will know if he/she is a prebreed. the thing with the tail might just be something that happens with pitbull puppies.
Reply:If you don't have PROOF-via REGISTRATION-you will NEVER know!!


What you DO have is a PET quality pup w/a MAJOR FAULT!


***NOT*** show/breeding prospect!!! SPAY/NEUTER NOW!!!





PS: vets are TERRIBLE at guessing breeds!!!
Reply:apbt's tails do not curl at all....


never ever ever ever.. unles somthing is broken.
Reply:pitbulls aren't supposed to have long tails if it's tail is hanging down the tip of the tail should only reach to the hock and it should start rather broad at the base of the tail then taper a lot of pitts curl their tails,not like a husky of course but in a gentle arc over their backs,they do this when excited,or angry but your dogs tail should not be excessively long,or excessivley curly and should never curl if not excited,i have seen Pitbull's with long whip like tails and very tall and leggy but these aren't what a pit should look like,a Pitbull should have a barrel chest,wide head,squarish muzzel,and muscular hind quarter's,should be a bit taller and not quite as muscular as an American Staffordshire terrier but very similar in appearance,can't really say without looking at your puppy if she is or not but don't worry if she looks even remotely like a pitbull all the people who are scared to death of them will think she is purebred anyhow,just love her for what she is and dont worry about it unless you plan to breed
Reply:Not withstanding the criticism sure to come from my answer, I think everyone should understand that there is no such thing as a purebred! Every breed of dog shares the DNA of Canis lupus, which is the grey wolf. Man began domesticating the grey wolf nearly 100,000 years ago. The genetic relationships between the various breed trace back to 14 so-called “ancient breeds,” including Chow Chow, Shar Pei, Akita, Shiba Inu and Basenji. The reason for crossbreeding varies from aesthetics, types of work, to status symbols.





As long as you love your dog and treat him well, his lineage should have no bearing in the grand scheme of things. Treat him well and he will treat you well. Unlike other domesticated animals, dogs remain fiercely loyal to their human companions and they consider their humans as part of their pack. Naturally, you want the humans to hold the Alpha-position in that pack.





Good luck!

Reply:I have seen alot of dogs with AKC paper that are purbreed but don't look it. So chances are your dog is purebreed but from a bad breeder that just puts any 2 dogs together so he will have pups and dosen't care about qualty.
Reply:Lets see if I understand this correctly. You have one dog that went through what the dog you are inquiring about is going through now. Your vet has assured you as to the breed. It is a breed known for unprovoked attacks on strangers. You are unsure about anything concerning the dog or the breed. If all this is correct then I'm damn glad you don't live near me. You are clearly the wrong type of person to own a dog like this. I'm sure that in the next year or so I'll be reading about you in the newspaper or see you on TV feigning ignorance about why your dog just killed or mauled a child. Dogs should be owned by people clever enough to be able to handle them. Your not even clever enough to figure out what you own. Get a parrot or a goldfish and spare some other poor family the misery of your ignorant desires.
Reply:Why does it really matter? Any dog can be turned into a great family dog. I think people need to start stoping about getting the finest purbreed puppy. The point of adopting is to open your heart %26amp; home to a lovable pet who is part of the family. Anyway, you should contact the breeder %26amp; discauss the contract %26amp; papers.
Reply:I have a pure pit, and my ex also has a pure pit, but they have very different features, and all of his friends would always pick on him, saying things like his is a lab or other silly stuff. Your friends are probably just messing with you. I wouldn't worry about it, as long as you know you have what you want, who cares what they think. Plus, unless you're planning on breeding her, who cares what she is. As long as you love her, and she loves you, it shouldn't matter. I love my little princess, and if someone told me tomorrow that they had proof that she was a mutt, or even a poodle, it wouldn't make one bit of difference to me. Anyways, a pit puppy with a curly tail sounds so so so cute. Good Luck with your new baby. Enjoy it now, they grow up so fast :(
Reply:You need to have both of these dogs neutered or spayed right away if you love them and want them to have good lives.


Even if you did observe the parents of one of the dogs mating, it means nothing...a female can carry the offspring of more than one male if she mates with another, so the pup you have may not be necessarily a 'pure bred.'





If you don't have registration papers and at least a three generation pedigree on them, then no, they are probably not 'pure bred' and certainly should NEVER be bred.
Reply:all pit bulls are mutt's, but as for akc papers, all they mean is that the dog and it's parents were registered as pure bread dogs. i can't tell u how many dogs I've seen that weren't pure bread dogs but have akc papers.
