I believe that it's all in how you treat your dog, any breed or mixed breed. I have been raising gottie Pitts for a while now, she has had 4 litters. I have the mom and dad and now 2 puppies from this litter in December 19-2017. I have people wanting the remainders. I sell them without papers wormed and shots for $300.00. I know about this breed. They are great dogs. Very smart. Loving. Like I said....it's all about how you raise them.
Answer by ninjaaa!
How do you know they are purebred if you don't have papers for them? Your breeder told you? If your breeder tells you that your dog is purebred without showing you his or her pedigree and the registration papers of your dog's parents, that breeder is an irresponsible breeder. Likewise, if you sell these pups as purebred dogs when you don't have papers on their parents or a pedigree, you are an irresponsible breeder.
Basically: If they don't have papers, you can't prove that they are purebred. If you can't prove they are purebred, you have to sell them as mutts. Not more than $ 100 per pup.
If you were irresponsible enough to bring these pups into the world, then at least start being responsible now.
Each puppy sold should be sold as a mixed breed dog and not a purebred. If you can get hold of an AKC registration form and a correct, signed pedigree for each pup, you can sell them as purebreds. A health record of immunization and parasite control, as well as a feeding regimen, should be written out and also verbally explained to every buyer.

Sounds like someone spent their life dreading pure Breeds and is scared to lose money to someone who just loves their unpapered dogs. Sell the pups for whatever u can sell them for as long as it’s a good Home and responsible future owner. If u don’t want to pay that much for his pups then don’t buy em. Cute pups btw.

I love how people reach out for help and so many people like to put them down. They just had a question don't be harsh. Puppies are adorable and if a person is willing to pay more then 100 for it means they will take care of it. I would never sell a puppy or buy for less than 250. Whether they are papered or not. Let's stop being rude to each other and let's start encouraging to be good owner s. You don't have to get your dog fixed if you can watch them that's true. If you have no control and keep having pups then maybe think about it.. and for the pits in shelters. that's the owner's fault, not the dog. They are not mean. Or have problems with children that's a lie. I resured a 3-year male brindle pit mix. He was perfect and loving to my children. Remember world lets make this a better place .?
Answer by lilpitbullLover
not everyone has the money for papers or like what happened to my pit during birth they die so how would you get papers on a pit showing full breed if they are dead…. ? Oh wait you can't so stop being ignorant about it. Mine was a Tennessee red nose pit, for all those who do not know what that is, it is a pit that is not commonly bred, and when they are they are hard to come by.
You can sell them for more than $150 a pup if the person is willing to buy them and these "pit bulls" that the shelters get are not full breeds they are mixed and have aggression problems or problems with children because of abuse or lack of care etc. maybe instead of staying on here all the time and saying this or that go to a vet and get the right answers.

I have a male pitbull no papers, potentiall purebred potentially not, anyone know if there is a way to find out pedigree or get papers without being able to ask breeder? I don’t know the parents. Do people stud mutts (non-purebred but w/o papers)?
RussianDog says
Yes, unfortunately, people stud mutts. You may find useful some other discussions on our website that are close to your questions:

Tracey Moltz says
My pups are blue bullies and I have both pure bred parents! I live my dogs and wouldn’t change it for the world! My mama was with me thru the worst of my life! And now she is the best mama! Never saw puppies so clean!I didn’t have papers on either dogs!!!I asked this question because I was not sure if I could even sell the puppies without papers! I do screen all the potential pup lovers! I do not agree with dog fighting! And I will forever take the dogs back if the person can not handle the huge responsibility of a dog! Everyone has opinions!!!!

Ty my husband n I just rescued a purebred pit pull 7 months old suffering from worms, and just getting over pauvol or however u spelled it, she is suffering from malnutrition and she is pregnant. .. the original owners r in jail and I can’t get the papers for her…but we can’t afford to keep all the puppies we already have 8 dogs 11 cats so I was wondering if we could sell the puppies and yes we take care of all the animals we have…and we r trying to find homes for most of the cats… all the dogs and cats are rescued and when we get them we calm them down and get them familiar with cats or dogs as well as children

To sammy: Bullshit! Russians do not eat dogs.

I have a blue nose pit without papers and he is going to be mated with a red nose pit with papers….wondering how much the puppies would be worth?
david swank says
Pitbulls are a dime a dozen even grandmothers own them now. It is all about the pedigree now. In my home town of syracuse ny you can pick them up daily at about 25-50 bucks a piece.
david swank says
Actually papers is what gives the dogs their value. No papers means you cant prove what they are. They could be bully and pit and just look like a big pit. Its the papers that proves their pedigree. If i was to buy a pit with no papers i wouldent pay more that 50-100 bucks. Plus if the parents have no papers they are only worth 50 no more.
andie says
i just had to comment on the negativity about pitbulls. i inherited a blue pit when she was 1 she is now 3 and she is the most lovable dog i have ever owned. she thinks she is a lap dog and needs hugs and loves to cuddle. she wouldn't hurt a fly (well maybe a fly – she likes to try to catch them as they fly by). even new people that come to the house, she looks scary, but goes up to them only in friendliness. we had a police officer at the house even comment, i thought pits were mean, she is a big baby. yes she is and we love her.

enough to spay and neuter your male and female so you can stop being a backyard breeder.
steve k says
without papers how can you prove they are pure breed? comsidering now a days it would be EXTREMELY hard to find a "pure breed". everyone one is add this and that to the breed to get bigger heads, bigger bodies, more gameness, etc… any "pitbull" that gets over 55lbs and taller than 19" is not pure.
if you want to set a price high to make sure the new owners will take care of it. forget about it. during undercover work to bust fighting rings i have seen people pay upto $ 10,000 for 1 dog. just to fight it. so high prices will not drive the bad owners away
Rose says
Not a lot, if you let the new owners know about them being purebreds I suggest you show them copies of the parents' papers and let the new owners know that they COULD get them papers if they wanted to. Otherwise, it makes you look like an irresponsible breeder. [not sayin you are just passin along info]
xoxoPetsxoxo says
Pit bulls can pretty be found anywhere and everywhere for sale and unfortunately thousands are being put down every year because good, responsible, trustworthy homes can not be found for them. It's a tough call to say how much to sell them for…go too cheap and you will probably have many people who want to buy but will it be a good home or someone who wants a pit bull for what ever reason, price too high and you may not get any callers, including one that may a great home. If you have the parent(s) to the pups I would definitely use the money you may get from the pups and get the parents fixed.
jordie0587 says
take the whole litter to be spayed/neutered and given shots and then sell them for whatever you end up spending because since there is no proof they are "purebred" and pitbulls arent "purebreds" anyway (pitt bull is a TYPE of dog, not a breed), they aren't worth anything more than the cost of spay/neuter and shots.
dan says
$ 100-$ 300 since there are many in shelters, but if their temperaments are good then $ 300 max would seem reasonable.
puppy.lover13 says
Is that why you let you Pitt bulls breed? For money? You don't care at all that the majority of the pups your dogs have end up being put down?
Sick…
I don't normally state so strongly my feelings about these sorts of things, but please…
There are so many dogs that are considered "dangerous" who don't and will never have decent homes, and who will likely die by cage in a shelter. I'm not saying that Pitbulls MUST be dangerous… I'm saying that that is normally how they are bred and trained. That's why people fear them, and when they grow up, the family doesn't want them anymore or whatever.
It's so sad to me that you would let these little lives be created and then let them be so hated in the end. . . b/c in the end – that is what will happen to them.
…and all of it to make a tiny amount of money. Sick!
Stina says
Maybe you should stop breeding your dogs for money. Or for any reason. If your dogs don't have papers, what the hell is the point in breeding them? To create MORE pits? Exactly what the world needs.
I suggest you go volunteer in a kill-shelter and see how many "pure-bred pits" are put down daily because of media's constant attack on the "big, dangerous carnivorous machine". Pit Bulls are sweet, loving dogs, but with 27 MILLION homeless dogs, 16 million of which will be put to sleep this year alone, they are also not in high demand. Please, fix your pits and never consider creating another litter.
Also: You have a bit more research to do. There is no such thing as a "Pure-bred Pit Bull". The pit bull breed includes pit bull terriers, staffordshire terriers and the like.
DP says
A dog without papers is NOT purebred. A dog that is not registered or cannot be registered, cannot be called purebred.. There is no proof, no registration papers to prove what you are saying, nothing to prove the background. Dogs without papers, without registration, are mixed breed dogs. plain and simple.. They are only worth about $ 50 at very most.
Nandina says
The cost of spaying and neutering, because they're not worth much. Certainly nothing "special". You should also spay and neuter your own dogs. Especially since you don't even know how to spell the breed name.
qzosgirl says
I think it would depend on the area you lived in and how high of a demand there is for that breed there. In S.C. pits with papers go for around 350-450. So, I wouldn't expect to get more than 200 for them.
On the Radio Uh Oh says
You should GIVE them to caring, pre-screened, loving homes.
Most anyone willing to pay for a pure-bred isn't going to pay without papers and family history.
Cole32 says
Have you vaccinated them, if so $ 200. If not no more than $ 150.

enough to spay and neuter your pits, gods sake look how many are in shelters already
