ABOUT SIN CITY PITS

Who We Are
Founded in 2012, Sin City Pits proudly stands as both the creator and premier breeder of the American Terrier. Through unwavering dedication, we have perfected this unique breed, establishing the most consistent and admired bloodline worldwide. Until full recognition by our own and other major registries, our dogs are proudly registered with the UKC and/or APBR as American Pitbull Terriers (APBT).
For us, breeding is not a hobby — it's a mission. Backed by over ⚡ 300 successful productions, our program is grounded in knowledge, research, passion, and love for the American Terrier. Our vision is clear: deliver elite, show-quality dogs that represent the highest standard of structure, temperament, health, and pedigree integrity.
📖 Our Journey
Our story began with a deep love for the American Pitbull Terrier.
What started as ownership evolved into a mission to build and preserve a true, refined lineage within the breed. Though Sin City Pits launched in 2012, our research dates back to 2004 — a time when the XL American Pitbull / American Bully was gaining popularity.
We studied bloodlines rigorously, with early influences from Powerline Kennels, Iron Cross Kennels, and eventually Dragon's Pride Pitbulls. These programs inspired our foundation dogs — tall, muscular, with the signature sinister look and natural athleticism. Over time, we evolved these traits into a perfected version of the XL Pitbull / American Bully, now known as the American Terrier.
With over a decade of focused breeding, we’ve built a bloodline recognized 🌍 across the globe for its elite form, work drive, and stable temperament.
🐕🦺 What is an American Terrier?
The American Terrier is a breed we developed to surpass the inconsistencies of Pitbulls and Bullies. It combines athletic ability, high intelligence, structural balance, and a stable temperament into one remarkable package.
🧠 Intelligence: Exceptionally bright and eager to learn, this breed thrives when given purpose and excels across all aspects of training — from small tasks to advanced commands — with impressive speed and focus.
💛 Temperament: Naturally loyal and even-tempered, this breed blends confidence with composure — making them ideal for both active lifestyles and affectionate family environments.
Taller than the standard APBT, this breed features tight skin, a defined structure, powerful muscle tone, and impressive agility.
🔋 Drive: Moderate and manageable — not hyper, not lazy
🏠 Versatility: From show rings to service work to family homes
This breed excels in:
🛡️ Protective work (calm, vigilant, loyal)
🌊 Dock diving (agile, enthusiastic, powerful)
🏋️ Weight pulling (muscular, focused, determined)
🚔 Police/military roles (trainable, aware, stable)
❤️ They are also beloved as gentle family pets with the heart of a guardian and the 🧠 mind of a champion.
🧬 Preservation and Innovation
We owe much of our success to the preservation of rare OG bloodlines. By combining Iron Cross and Royal Blue Generations (via Dragon’s Pride), we retained the look, health, and intelligence others have lost by chasing weight or color trends. When most breeders diluted these dogs by mixing Mastiffs, Bandogs, Cane Corsos, and more to produce specific traits to follow new trends like color and size— we held the line. The result is the Sin City Pits bloodline: clean, powerful, and pure.
We’ve also pioneered 🧪 cryopreservation through our facility CCSB (Cryo Canine Semen Bank)
to keep the genetics of legendary studs alive for future generations planned out to easily continue over the next 45 to 50 years without having to outsource. 🎯 Our Standards We breed with a purpose — to produce dogs with:
📏 Taller stature than standard Pitbulls
🔩 Balanced structure and proportion
💪 Tight skin and dense muscle
🧱 Large, blocky, clean heads
😌 Calm, confident temperament
🧠 High trainability and intelligence
✨ No droop, no exaggeration — 100% natural genetically produced
We never photoshop or lie about our dogs’ size or quality and so forth. What you see is what you get — and we welcome anyone to visit and see our dogs for themselves in person. Our dogs are family, raised in loving homes and given every opportunity to thrive physically and socially. 📸 View Our Productions 🚫 Integrity Over Trends Unlike breeders who chase extreme size or exotic colors, we stay true to the authentic Terrier type. We are committed to health, function, and breed preservation — not producing 200lb exotic colored dogs with weak genetics. Every decision in our program is intentional — leveraging DNA testing, linebreeding, and strict evaluation to refine the qualities that matter most.

What is a pitbull?
Pitbull is more than a look with tight skin and muscle, its a state of mind, its an attitude, its the swagger, the temperament, the tenacity, the drive, the willingness to never quit, the fight in the dog, the agility.
A pitbull may look intimidating, strong, powerful, beautiful, but lets not forget they are the most loving, caring, loyal beings
that you will ever meet and will fight till their last breathe for the one's they love. Built tough, maybe been fighting their whole lives, but all they really desire is to love and be loved and are the biggest mushes and will give everything and trade it all just to lay beside the one's they care for and protect them because to a pitbull we are their world, we are their everything, they live for us!...if anything gets to me, if i was a robot and did not feel any emotion, nothing can make me feel the way this breed does. You know why? because they have heart and i feel that!
