American Pit Bull Terrier > So... does the term "Pit Bull" offend some of you pit owners?...

 What? You said- sit? Ok I'll- jump on you! | 
| Barked: Mon Jul 2, '12 7:44pm PST |  |  |  |  | I call mine "pit bulls" since American Pit Bull Terrier is a bit of a mouthful. It doesn't offend me at all when other people call them that either. My fiance hates when people call them "pits" though. He thinks it sounds degrading. Pitties and Pibbles are fine. |  |  |  |  |

German Shepherd > I have a soft coated shepherd

| Barked: Mon Jul 2, '12 7:35pm PST |  |  |  |  | I know there are different types of coats that shepherds can have.
Sally's background is pretty much like Sabi's. We think she's a GSD because she doesn't look like she could be anything else.
But damn, her coat is so soft and fluffy. I think what she has is called a "plush coat". She seems to have a lot more of an undercoat compared to my other GSD, Koda. She seems to shed a heck of a lot more than him too.
Koda's coat is much more coarse than hers and seems to lay closer to his body. So, I think he has a "short coat".
It's so hard to tell sometimes though, everyone always claims something different when it comes to GSDs. |  |  |  |  |

| Barked: Fri Feb 17, '12 4:10am PST |  |  |  |  | 3 of mine are just hitting the senior years. Molly and Benz are 8, Sally is 7. Sally has always been pretty low key and mellow but the other two...not so much.
Molly and Benz were so, so rambunctious and borderline ADHA, bol! At times they were just a nightmare. And the barking. Oh those two would bark at a leaf blowing across the yard.
They still bark but not nearly as much. They don't try to molest guests when they come over. Snuggle time seems to be the number one thing on their list or just trotting around the yard and finding a good stick to chew. They definitely aren't as crazy and it's nice to see that they might have finally come out of their "teenage" stage.  |  |  |  |  |

That is a link to questions you should ask a breeder (and yourself), might be helpful to you.
I looked at the first 3 kennels you posted, which all 3 seemed pretty good. What I liked best about the Inferno Kennel was the application to adopt one of their puppies. It seems like they don't let their dogs go to just anybody.
Also, some breeders may have dogs who are "retired" from breeding that they'd like to re-home. And also, if possible, visit the kennel before you get a dog.
I love to rescue dogs and you can sometimes find puppies with rescues. If not a puppy, there are plenty of adult dogs out there!
I'm very glad you're educating yourself about the breed first, that is so important! My fiance didn't and while I love his (our) 2 APBTs, they were from a BYB who just wanted his dog to have a litter of puppies. Their father was a gem as far as I'm told but their mother was aggressive with people and other animals. And my fiance didn't socialize them properly. Had I been in the picture when he got the dogs, things would be different, bol!
Good luck and keep researching! |  |  |  |  |

| Barked: Wed Feb 15, '12 5:58pm PST |  |  |  |  | Personally I was rooting for the GSD because I own two.
But I don't like show lines. I think the sloped hips look unnatural. I prefer a GSD with a nice straight back. Looks much more natural and like the GSDs I grew up around.
Not trying to step on anyone's toes here, that's just my preference and what I feel the breed should look like.  |  |  |  |  |
