Dogs for Sale

2009-07-14T09:18:00.003-10:00

We have a number of dogs up for sale and are opening Moose up for stud for a limited time. See pictures and details at http://www.808bluepitbull.com/forsale

When we announced dogs for sale on MySpace, everyone was wondering why we were selling them. Some were worried that we knew about a legal issue that they didn't. There's no legal issue and we're not selling them because we don't like them or anything like that. In fact, it's the opposite. Right now the demands on our time in other areas of life are great. We aren't able to give each dog the type of attention and time we want to and know they need and deserve.

So, we are looking for good homes for these dogs.

If you have questions or would like to discuss payment arrangements, contact us via e-mail at info [at] 808bluepitbull.com.

Moose for Stud
We are opening Moose up for stud for a limited time to the first 3 approved females who reserve their breeding - discounted rate of $1500 for the ones who contact us first (and get approved - you own the litter outright).

Wow - People Love Fella

2009-03-27T08:01:00.002-10:00

Just recently uploaded a new video to YouTube (not a dog one) and saw that we had new comments on some of our other videos. Of course, there were comments from people saying that our dogs are not pitbulls.

Believe me, we know that the traditional APBT would NOT be 70-80 lbs. They were 50-60 lbs on the heavy side and were very lean and athletic in look. From the experiences we've had, that look is also heavily associated with game bred dogs which we definitely don't have. (and when I say "game" in that sentence, I'm not talking about "drive").

Anyway - getting off topic here. Back to the videos. There were also lots of positive comments and while we were poking around in our YouTube account, we noticed that Fella's video has almost twice as many views as any other we have uploaded!

This is the one people seem to love...

If you think this video is cool, you are free to post it to your own website, blog, myspace, or facebook page if you want. We do not have it saved as a private video, so it IS free to share with others without having to get permission from us first.

So if you like this video too, feel free to share it!

2009 Planned Breedings with Pictures

2009-03-23T13:28:00.004-10:00

After our last post about our plans for 2009, we received a bunch of e-mails asking for pictures of the dogs that were going to be bred. So, here they are.

Moose (Gotty Grandson) and Angel (blue Sierra/Gaff female)

Lil Fella (blue Ghanghis Kon/Razor's male) and Liilii (black and white Razor's/Sierra)

Little Miss and Westside Monster Jojola - full Gotty breeding

Liilii on the Pet Hui's Coverage of SB79

2009-03-14T09:15:00.004-10:00

Check out Liilii in this video. There are also a number of other Hawaii dogs included!

There's one blue and white female in this video that was from the Beautiful x Rocko litter.

Plans for 2009

2009-03-13T14:58:00.001-10:00

Do you have puppies?

This is the question we've been getting all year long. LOL Right now the answer is "No."

But since so many people have been asking, here's what we have planned for 2009.

Liilii x Lil Fella- next time Lii goes into heat, the plan is to breed her with Lil Fella. You like short and stocky? This is the breeding to look out for. If this goes down, pups will probably run about $1500

Angel x Moose - this is the breeding Allen wants to do for Angel's last. Next time she goes into heat, we're hoping to hook them up. We'll let you know if it happens. Allen really doesn't want to sell the pups from this litter since it will most likely be Angel's last. Availability will definitely be limited if this does go down and you can expect pups to go for a minimum of $2000 if not a little more.

Miss x Monster - Full Gotty breeding. Little Miss (Moose's Sister, Geronimo Daughter, Monster Grand-Daughter). When she goes in to heat, the plan is to inseminate her with Westside's Monster/Monster Jojola (direct Juan Gotty Son). The semen is already here on island, so we're just waiting for Miss. Pricing on this litter will probably also run $2000+ due to the cost involved in bringing it about.

Chances are we'll also breed Diamond this year too. Not sure on the stud for that one yet...Maybe one of Koni's brothers, but we'll have to see how it all works out with the pulling schedule.

So if you've been waiting for puppies, that's what you may have to look forward to. We expect the girls to be ready within the next few months or so. We'll keep you posted.

Thanks for your interest.

These dogs are obviously not bad dogs. Real pitbulls, right here in Hawaii, with their pals and their family.

Stop BSL in Hawaii

2009-01-27T13:58:00.002-10:00

We attended a meeting last night regarding the bill to ban pitbulls in Hawaii. While today's newspaper indicates that this bill does not have a very good chance of getting anywhere, many at the meeting feel that it's still important to show our support of dogs in Hawaii and make sure our government officials know how we feel.

BSL Facts
What's going on with BSL in Hawaii
What SB79 is
How you can help keep Hawaii dogs safe
Who you should contact to support the cause
and more

Go to StopBSLHawaii.com. There is a lot of great information there about BSL with much more to come. Plus you can get information on local events and meetings for those who do not want to see dogs in Hawaii discriminated against based on look or breed alone.

Diamond Earns APA Weight Pulling Points

2009-01-25T23:30:00.003-10:00

Diamond did great this weekend at the APA sanctioned pull.

The first day she came in 2nd in her class (pulled the same weight as the other dog ahead of her, but he was a pound lighter). She was 1st for dogs under 70 lbs for most weight pulled. Again, they pulled the same weight, but she did it faster so she got the win for that one. Bella (owned by Ben and Sasha) won most weight pull per pound for dogs under 70lbs. She pulled the same weight as Diamond, but only weighed 53 lbs vs Diamond's 62.

Today, Diamond weighed in at 61lbs and did better.

She dogs below her pulled 1050lbs, but couldn't pull 1200lbs. Diamond pulled the 1200lbs and the next round's weight of 1350lbs.

This gave her:
1st place in her weight class (61-70lbs)
1st place for most weight pulled for dogs under 70lbs
1st place for most weight pulled per pound for dogs under 70lbs

Congrats to the other dogs who also placed and got medals. I don't know them all, but I know Magnum (also owned by Ben and Sasha) won his weight class and Roc (owned by Hawaii Julz) won his class as well.

Some of the American Bulls that came out did well too. I believe Whitey, Bones, and Mana all pulled 1800-2000lbs on Saturday.

This is Diamond's 1200lb pull...

Fella and Moose Shirts

2008-12-17T06:33:00.000-10:00

Gosh, I almost forgot to share this. I wish we could mass produce these and sell 'em, but right now I don't know of a way to do that.

Here are a couple shirts we had made - airbrush. This guy did a great job dontcha think?

Fella's Shirt

Moose's Shirt

Here's of what may very well be the one and only time we actually use these shirts. It's a little harder to see the dogs when the shirts are on a person, but it's still cool right?

Which one do you like better?

Allen wanted a full body pose. Stacie thought just the headshot would be nice. Now we're not sure which one we like better.

What do you think?

*note: sorry the pics aren't the greatest...just took them with our phones since we didn't have a camera on us.

Our Raw Feeding Story

2008-11-18T07:38:00.002-10:00

"What do you feed your dogs?"

That continues to be one of the most frequently asked questions we get. Nowadays it's often followed by a barrage of other questions.

Why? Because we feed raw.

We also set up a little resource to answer many of the questions we get about what we feed our dogs and why. Check it out HERE

There's not just reading to do there, we included some pictures too: Raw Fed Pits

Feel free to leave us a comment there to let us know what you think or ask us questions.

If you currently feed raw, PLEASE leave us a comment and tell us how it's going, why you switched, and what you love most about it.
