EDIT: Joe Kerr, what kinds of dogs do you have? is that a pitbull? (Sorry my breed detector is sorta rusty)

If you think my dog is an American Pit Bull Terrier,
that's one VERY GOOD reason why you shouldn't breed your
so called 'pit bulls'. She looks absolutely nothing like any
Bull breed.
I have one solid piece of advice for you - DON'T BREED your
dogs. There are enough Bull breeds in shelters, you don't need
to add more.

do you mean they aren't spayed and neutered? ^
are they registered? do they have papers? champion/working bloodlines? do you know lineage? what are you breeding for? what are the health and temperament of potential dam and sire? where will the puppies go? are you prepared for vet bills, potential emergency spay, and vet costs of 4-10 puppies and mom?

I don't think it's a good idea and most others probably will agree.

Health test your dogs (OFA hips/elbows, CERF, liver, thyroid and anything else the breed club sets forward), put titles on your dog in either conformation, work, or at the very least performance. Find a mentor in the APBT community.

We'd love pictures of your dogs!

I need some toy ideas (that I can order on ebay)
I have a few West Paw toys. Anything by Kong doesnt seem to last long here.

Not a fan of anything vinyl or rope

Do you own a dog?: Three!
Favorite dog breed?: Corgi
Tell us about your dog(s), if you have any!: I currently own a Blue Nose Pitbull/ Boxer mix puppy named Penny, a Boston Terrier named Waylon, and a Chihuahua mix named Danny. We did own a Pit Bull/ Lab mix but she got parvo before we took her in for her final shots and she passed away. My first dog, a Chihuahua mix named Buttercup passed away recently as well.
Pictures of your dog(s):Penny, I don't have very many pictures of her yet but these were the best two
My Danny boy, he always steals my spot
And last but not least the most spoiled baby in the world Waylon.

A question to any Boston owners or owners of dogs with severe allergies, do you know of an affordable grain free dog food or dog treats? Waylon gets the worst allergies and the only grain free dog food we can find is ridiculously expensive and comes in small bags. We buy it of course but we've been trying to find something more cost effective.

I believe Earthborn, Wellness Core, and Solid Gold all sell a grain-free dog kibble. If I remember correctly Earthborn is the cheaper of the three with Solid Gold and Wellness Core tied. Aside from that I believe I saw Merrik selling grain free kibble, but I don't know much about that particular kibble aside from I bought it once due to I didn't have access to Earthborn.

I used to feed my Bostons (from forever ago) a raw diet so I never had many allergy problems with the ones we owned. Though that was.. At least 15+ years ago. They were one of my moms favorite breeds c: I think the only Boston I've been around in the last several years was my sisters Boston boy. I believe she fed him Solid Gold or similar which was about three maybe four years ago last I'd seen him though c:
