as far as i know it is a dominant gene. That is why it is not desired in staffy bull terrier or am staffs. my pitty i had was red nose and he only bred to red nose pups. he was direct from american parents and was a gift when i was 8 rs old from a grandparents neighbour cause i wanted a staffy and he gave me one of his pups from the dogs he bought with him from the states.. funny how the whole of my neighbourhood new my dog and kids played with him because noone new what a pit bul was 26 yrs ago.
now i would be shot for letting him play with kids.
one of the best dogs i owned. have photos of my sister dressing him up in dresses he put all pit dogs to shame and would actively go out of his way to avoid a fight. but when provoked and forced too he was a force to be reckoned with and at 40lb ringing wet he would use every pound to destroy what had provoked him then once choked off be my same best friend that slept in my bed and was scared of my sisters cat.. yes that is right he was unashmably bullied by the cat and they would play for hours with the cat beating him up.. so much for the brainless killers that all should be destroyed. i wil dig out some photos Den. i also have some good books on them even though they were written by stratton they have good photos i wil find and give you
cheers

Den, missed your question about the inheritence.... red noses seem to be dominant, as you will normally get a few red noses when you put a red nose over a normal.... the eyes is a different kettle of fish, yellow is a pretty standard colour for red noses, but they do come in greens, blues, and rarely almost white eyed, the occasional pup has two different eyes as well.... its not like snakes though, you dont go buying pit pups for a look, you have to meet as much of the litter as possible and choose on personality, drive and dominance, as picking an incorrect match can be a devistating mistake.
Thats terrible Kyro, at least its in a better home now.... it actually has a very similar frame and head to some Scotts Line bulldog pups I am waiting for a litter from, though they will be white, the black looks a treat.

Ty, she has a white collar also.....
i had a mastiff x pit bull who was the greatest dog with me. anyone else though she hated. she was dog aggressive, aggressive towards men didn't like any creature except me. i would be sitting on the couch. next thing i know here she is beside me with her back to me and *plop* she would flop herself backwards and expect me to catch her!!! then she'd lay in my arms like a baby for hours.
then one day she turned around and bit my face.... six hours sitting in the hospital = not fun
i since had to get rid of her as she became unpredictable and my mum didn't want me keeping her. It broke my heart and I am getting really upset looking through pictures to post....
But I know it's all for the best, now I have a beautiful Kelpie girl who I don't have any problems with...
anyway, so if you do decide to get one, please please please make sure you socialise it properly to give you a good chance of not running into the same problems I had.
oh and she was dog aggressive to everyone except our other dog, Chloe the golden retriever!

Do pitbulls come in any colour other than the tan or rednose, which is still tan??
If not, theyre a boring breed if you ask me.
And the dangerous dogs thing targets any dogs that have the 'look', not just pittys. They tried to claim i had a dangerous breed and i have a wimpy bull terrier....

Ah ok, everytime i see something that actually looks different and makes me stop and look it turns out to be a Amstaff, hahaha
As for the vicious dog breed BS, ive known some psychotic collie mixes that make pitties look like fluffy bunnies!
Sometimes X-breeds are a big no no..

They are a lovely dog Den. As herpies stated, buy one that suits your needs, not because it is pretty.
Like ANY breed of dog, there are buggers in some littlers. For a dog with 110% drive in anything that they do, a dog that is 110% loyal to you, 110% fine if they are well trained and raised in a positive home.
A mate up here has just had a litter that he is looking for homes. It's a pitty (no pun intended) that you were not closer. There are some dead set awesome styles of hounds up here, many of which do not find homes and end up getting a bullet from the council. I have never ever seen so many Red Nose Pits in a single town. They are always roaming the streets in town, a damn shame. There are some ripper coloured Pits in the US.
Why not save the council BS and buy one of these lol.......

Ive posted these before but dont have any more recent so here they are again.
First up is my male Angus,he is a blue and nudging 40kgs.
Next up is my female Mia,she is a red and 34kgs.
Like people have said American Pit Bulls and Amstaffs are that closely related its not funny,but if raised properly and socialised correctly when young they are a trouble free breed.They were actually known way back when as the nanny breed as they were left to mind the kids while the parents went out and worked the fields.
People aggression was something that was taught and bred into them over time by the bad element its not a trait the breed was originally developed for.

nice dogs they look like big staffies will probably get an amstaff for my next dog as they are alot easier to deal with than a working pit bull.

Pitties are gorgeous, my friend has one and that dog is just darling, I have a little mutt (maltese x poodle), and he goes absolutely psycho sometimes and bites everyone,
Their pitbull would certainly kill someone.............by licking them to death!!
I'm pretty sure petpages had a few recently..
Good Luck with the new doggie!

My last dog was an APBT but have moved away from them now due to the bullshit BSL everywhere put in place as knee jerk reaction by idiotic buerucrats that would not know the *** end of a dog if it smacked them in the face. Their reasoning was the amount of dog attacks, what a load of crap.

Where's the breed specific legislation for banning australian cattle dogs or jack russells lol. Banning australian cattle dogs would be down right un-australian now would'nt it so we can't do that, their a symbol of the true blue aussie battler, never mind that there are more dog attacks by this breed than pitys.
Anyway now that i have gotten that out of the way. Here's a pic of my Aussie Bulldog he stands at 21 inches to the shoulder and weigh 44 kgs.
Got him instead of another pitbull.
Cheers
