I personally don't agree with selling dogs for pets or conformation animals. Those people buying the animals as pets and/or conformation animals are going to breed them and carry on with that particular cycle. Then you have dogs that are X generations removed from the performance aspect of the breed, and you have the APBT in name only and nothing more.

There are so many problems surrounding these dogs with "normal" breeders. Throw in a good mixture of pet and conformation, and you just have problems mushroom into an even bigger cloud. The only way I would even consider it is to have the dog spayed/neutered before it left here to the new owner's home, thereby eliminating any chance of it reproducing.

Scratchin makes a good point about owning something and not using it for it's intended purpose. That being said, someone could buy another breed and admire it for it's courage and tenacity. Bulldogs aren't the only breed that have those qualities, but they are the top breed when it comes to fighting prowess. They are the only breed with the ability to give their lives as opposed to giving up. You can admire that without owning it.
