Allergies in american pitbull terriers
I have been a breeder of american pitbull terriers since 2011. My name is Veronika Voitovska. And I really know everything about Pitbull Terriers and their health.
A fairly common question when buying a Pitbull Terrier puppy: «Are Pit Bulls allergic or not?» My answer is no. In general, this breed of dogs is not prone to allergies. But of course, there are exceptions. I have been breeding purebred dogs for many years, and more than 300 Pit Bull Terriers have been born in my kennel at the moment. Therefore, I have something to back up my words.
First. My dogs really are not allergic. My Pit Bull Terriers have never had seasonal allergies, juvenile (teenage) allergies. Food allergies or anything like that.
I know American Pit Bull Terriers whose paws turn very red when mosquitoes bite them. Really crimson spots on the skin and belly. My dogs did not have this. But from my observations, these are dogs brought from different countries (America, Russia). But they all had one thing in common — they live in a cool climate — the Baltic countries, Finland, St. Petersburg, etc. In my personal breeding of American pit bull terriers «Dognik Bulls» there were no allergies. But there was a story that I can tell. Once a bitch from Moscow (Russia) came to mate with my male. She was also born in Russia. She already had two litters of puppies from two different males. Both the first and second litters had allergies. Well, as for allergies, this is all from rumors and photos on the Internet. The bitch herself did not look allergic. She was sent to me for mating through several countries. She arrived, we mated her and she lived with us for another month until the carrier was able to take her back to Russia. During this month, I have not seen any signs of allergy in her. Also, she ran out of the food she was sent to us with. I gave her our food, which my pit bulls eat. And even when changing the food, this pit bull terrier did not show any allergies. Then 6 puppies were born. And I know for sure that two dogs grew up with allergies. One turned out to be allergic to cereals. This is, in principle, the most common type of allergy in dogs. That is why so many hypoallergenic foods are made without cereals and they write about it on the packaging in large letters. The second puppy from this mother inherited a «hormonal allergy». That is, she can sometimes lose a little hair before or after estrus. That’s all. I bred this male many more times in my kennel and never had children with allergies from him again. Therefore, in this situation, of course, genetically, allergies came from the mother of the pit bull terrier puppies. And these were two completely different types of allergies. So I will tell you this. There are lines of American Pit Bull Terriers where there are no allergies. Well, it is clear that if you give a dog two kilograms of strawberries, then maybe something will happen. But now I am talking about a simple life with a pit bull terrier.
Therefore, I am confident in my lines of breeding American Pit Bull Terriers and the absence of allergies.
Do white American Pit Bull Terriers have allergies? As far as I know, yes, they do. There are even large pit bull terrier kennels that specialize in white pit bulls. And most of the dogs in their breeding have allergies of various origins.
In our pit bull terrier kennel «Dognik Bulls» we get only light cream puppies. They are not white, although visually they look like white pit bulls. According to genetics, their color is called «light fawn», but visually it is white or almost white. This also allows us to avoid all the risks associated with allergies in white American Pit Bull Terriers. I can talk a lot more about allergies and their absence in American Pit Bull Terriers. A whole article would not be enough. So if you are interested in buying a pit bull terrier without allergies, write to me:
