Knomad,

If you are serious about breeding, please spend a lot of time to talking with, visiting, and (best case scenario) apprenticing under experienced, reputable breeders.

There is no substitute for actual experience with real dogs.

Everything else is a bunch of speculation and made up stuff.

Go out and see people who are actually breeding, training, showing and working real lines of dogs.

Please.

Unless you are willing to work with registered dogs always many breeders simply wont advise you on anything and those who would maybe arent worth hearing....
Over the next two years I will be continuing to gather information and facts though and I certainly wouldnt start without having a solid foundation of knowledge.

Hopefully, one of the things you will learn is why it's stupid to consider breeding dogs whose background is unknown.
(unless you are actually using your dogs to work in some way, and are breeding exceptional workers for your own use).

Here's my .02:
Get the dogs you have now fixed. It removes the temptation to do something stupid with them when they are old enough to reproduce.

Spend that time you are talking about learning about pits and dogs in general, and about breeding, and breeding pits in particular. Do this by interacting with dogs and dog breeders, showers, and trainers. "Knowledge" from books and the internet is very limited and will teach you very little about dogs.

By then, you MIGHT have enough knowledge to be able to pick a puppy that MIGHT be worth breeding (and enough credibility that someone will even give you one). By the time that pup is grown, you might know enough to have a clue about whether it's worth breeding it or not.
