Bully Pit Bull Studs, The Blue Pit bull & Razors Edge Dog

Blue pit bulls are not a separate blood line or breed from other pit bulls, but their attractive coloring does make them rare and often sought after pets. Pit bulls with a blue hue to their hair actually have diluted black hair, with the pigmentation in the center of the strand.

The blue color is created because the tips of the hair are colorless. Since this color trait is recessive, both parents of the dog must also have the blue trait gene in order to breed a blue pit bull. Some dogs also have a blue nose, and are aptly named blue nosed pit bulls. A blue pit bull can range from silver to a shade closer to charcoal, depending on its heritage. If you are interested in having a beautiful blue pit bull as a pet, here are some more details about this animal to prepare you for ownership.

Breeding Blue Pitbulls

Because blue pit bulls are the result of recessive genes, the breeding pool is often relatively small. If you are considering a blue pit bull, take the time to research the breeding practices in your area. When someone over breeds with dogs from the same family, the offspring can have genetic health and behavioral issues throughout their lives. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous breeders remain unconcerned about these issues, so it’s up to you to ask questions and find out how many puppies have been bred from the same family. You should also consider searching rescue shelters for these dogs, as you can avoid exorbitant breeding fees and save a life at the same time.

Susceptibility to Disease

Dogs with recessive color traits are often more likely to develop immune and neurological disorders, which includes blue pit bulls. However, this doesn’t mean that you should dismiss the purchase of a blue pit bull altogether, only that you must be a more diligent pet owner and be prepared to get potential bacterial or viral infections treated immediately. Your blue pit bull may also be more likely to get skin disorders over the course of his lifetime, and since his immune system may be weaker this can lead to serious health issues. Each animal is different, of course,

but it’s good to be aware of your dog’s potential illnesses before they crop up so you can be better prepared to get them treated promptly.

Socializing your Blue Pit Bull

Blue pit bulls should be socialized early in life so they are used to dealing with different animals and people alike. While a blue pit bull may be unlikely to attack its owner or familiar pit bulls, they may be dog aggressive to strangers if they’re not trained as puppies to be friendly with others.

This is especially true of other animal breeds. Take your blue pit bull to dog parks when he is very young and regularly introduce him to people who don’t live in your household. Don’t encourage your pit bull to attack someone, even as a joke, as this may instill an aggressive reaction in the dog’s brain towards unknown people and other dog breeds.

The Strength of the breed

Blue pit bulls are a very strong dog, and they can also jump very high. Despite their size, they can still clear a pretty high obstacle, especially if there is something very appealing on the other side of it. When it comes to containing your dog within your yard, a fence of only four feet probably won’t be high enough. Instead, stick to a privacy fence that is at least six feet tall and doesn’t have chain link components. Keep your pit bull on a leash when you take him out, as he may easily over power another dog or even person. Your pit bull will also be stubborn and strong, so make time for it to play in open spaces, but also be prepared to take the dog to obedience training as a puppy so that you don’t have to attempt to train a stubborn older dog who is used to running free with no rules.

Some of the most popular blue pitbull bloodlines:

• Razors Edge
• Monster G line
• Cruz
• Gottiline, also know as Gottyline
• Daxline

Pit bulls with a blue mane or nose are beautiful, strong creatures that make good pets and protectors, but like any pit bull they should be carefully trained and socialized. If you are willing to put in the time and love required to make your pet a dutiful and social animal, you will be rewarded in spades for a long time. These animals may have a bad reputation for being overly aggressive, but you can avoid trouble for your pit bull by taking the right steps when he is still just a puppy.

These beautiful dogs can be found throughout the USA in various breeder’s houses and kennels. Razors Edge Bullies have a very friendly temperament compared to the old school breeds such as colby or gator. As long as these dogs are socialized properly, they will get along with dogs and people of all ages.
