She is probably supplying the cocaine to her daughter. Just amazing.

Dina
Purebred with papers, supposedly a reputable breeder well known on the show circuit. We had her spayed at 6 months old because we were not interested in showing or breeding her. We paid a lot for her so did some research after the fact and found out the mother was put down shortly after this litter of pups were sold for fighting with other dogs the people owned. There was no way we could have known this beforehand, she seemed very nice the one time we met her, only 2 years old. They did not inform us of the mother's temperament when they found out how bad it was. We also were not informed that she was a new dog to their kennel, they only had her about 6 months, and they were keeping her separate from the other dogs (gee, I wonder why?). We did have a well-written contract, the usual you get from a reputable breeder, and that bit them in the end; we did get our money back and then some to keep it quiet and out of court. The father was and still is a sweetheart at the ripe old age of 13. He belongs to a friend of mine and that is why we bought one of his pups.
This is a debate that will never end. I am not bitter against the breed, and I do not get angry with people with a different opinion, I just want people to know what they may be letting themselves in for as you never know what you are getting. I suppose this is true of any breed, but in my experience the Pitbull reputation rang true and, just as no one could have convinced me a dog raised as she was could change overnight into a killing machine, now no one can convince me that these dogs are not different than other breeds in their capability to be very dangerous. I was educated the hard way, as have been many other Pitbull owners before me. I do not wish to see anyone go through what we did, not to mention the owner of the dog very badly injured by our dog and crippled for life. That is a trauma that can never be gotten over. By the way, the attack was totally unprovoked in front of 4 witnesses including myself and the owner of the other dog, a 2-year-old Border Collie mix minding his own business. After the attack was stopped, our dog was totally out of it, like she got off on it or something, and tried to go for the ducks before we corraled her. If you had been there, known the way she was before, I think you might feel a little different about what these dogs are capable of. It took hours for her to return to normal. Needless to say, she never returned home. That day will haunt me forever. An autopsy revealed no evidence of any health issues like brain tumor or anything else that could explain her change in behavior. The vet said that some dogs, especially of a breed bred for fighting, once they get a taste of blood it turns on this killer instinct and you never know how close to the surface that instinct is in a dog until it is too late.
Sorry for the book, just trying to explain where I am coming from and that I am speaking from personal experience.
