What breeds do you raise?
Meadow PitBullies focuses on Pit Bull and American Bully puppies.

Every household and every individual dog is different. Pit Bulls and American Bullies are strong dogs that benefit from responsible ownership, consistent training, appropriate exercise, continued socialization and proper supervision.

Review our Puppy Care Guide for more information about preparing for the first days and long-term puppy care.
Should I take my new puppy to a veterinarian?
Yes. New puppy owners should establish care with a licensed veterinarian and follow the veterinary examination requirements, if any, specified in their written health guarantee. Your veterinarian can also advise you about vaccinations, parasite prevention, nutrition and ongoing preventive care.

Puppies need a nutritionally complete, age-appropriate diet that supports growth and development. Feeding requirements can vary by puppy, size, age and activity level.
For individualized feeding recommendations, consult your veterinarian and review the feeding guidance provided with the food you choose.
How important is training and socialization?
Training and continued appropriate socialization are extremely important. Puppies benefit from clear routines, positive and consistent training, appropriate exposure to new environments and responsible supervision.
Training and socialization should continue after the puppy goes home rather than ending when the puppy leaves the breeder.

New Puppy Questions
Helpful information before your puppy arrives.
What should I buy before my puppy comes home?
Useful supplies generally include puppy food, food and water bowls, a properly sized crate, comfortable sleeping area, collar or harness, leash, safe puppy toys, cleaning supplies and identification.
You should also plan to establish veterinary care for your puppy.
Should I use a crate for my puppy?
A properly introduced crate can be useful for creating a safe resting area and helping with routine and house training. The crate should be appropriately sized and should never be used as punishment.
How much exercise does a puppy need?
Puppies benefit from appropriate daily activity and play, but their exercise should suit their age and physical development. Avoid forcing young puppies into excessive or strenuous exercise.
Ask your veterinarian for individualized advice if you are unsure what level of activity is appropriate for your puppy.
When should I begin training my puppy?
Training can begin from the time your puppy comes home. Start with simple routines, name recognition, house training, appropriate crate training and basic cues.
Consistency and positive reinforcement can help your puppy understand what is expected.
How do I help my puppy adjust during the first few days?
Keep the first few days calm and predictable. Give your puppy time to explore safely, establish regular feeding and bathroom routines, provide a comfortable sleeping area and avoid overwhelming the puppy with too many new experiences at once.
Where can I learn more about caring for my puppy?
