A pocket pit is an American pit bull terrier that is under 17 inches tall. Pocket pits are generally wide and compact and are usually 60 to 70 pounds. While almost every pit bull is capable of producing pocket pits, breeding pit bulls with suitable pedigrees is the only way to guarantee a litter of pocket pits.
Instructions
1. Check your pit bull's ancestors. In order to produce pocket pits, your dog has to have short dogs within the first three generations of its pedigree. The more short dogs in its pedigree, the more likely you are to produce pocket pits from that dog.
2. Pick a suitable mate for your dog. When you are searching for a pit bull to breed with your pit bull to produce pocket pits, you have to look at that dog's pedigree to ensure that the dog has a bloodline that is compatible with your dog. For example, a Razor's Edge pit bull can be bred with a Gottiline pit bull but breeding with a Colby pit bull would be undesirable.
3. Look at the dogs together. The dogs should both be short and look compact. They should each have a large head and wide chest. Both dogs meeting all of these will help you to have the best chance of producing pocket pits.
4. Have both dogs checked for any genetic problems. This will help to ensure the health of the puppies. As a responsible pocket pit breeder, you should want to only produce dogs that will be healthy. Dogs that have genetic medical problems may pass the problem on to the puppies.
5. Sell your pocket pit puppies to responsible dog owners after the dog turns eight weeks old. It is important to screen the people who want to buy your puppies. Keep in mind that you should pass up any buyers who want to use the dog for illegal purposes such as dog fighting. Pocket pits are compact but they are very strong.
6. Make everyone who buys a pocket pit from you sign a contract. Your contract should include training and breeding stipulations. For example, require that the new owner teach the puppy basic commands such as sit and come. Setting a minimum breeding age such as 1 year old for a female or 18 months for a male will guard the health and ensure proper growth for the puppy.
7. Keep tabs on the puppies you sell. With all of the problems that pit bull owners are having with Breed Specific Legislation, it is important to make sure that the new owner of any dog you sell stays a responsible pet owner.
