Was wondering if anyone knew where a guy could find pitbull puppies.  
 
I don't want to get any feedback on how mean of a dog blah blah blah, just want Know how to acquire one. As I've been wanting one for a long time. I have the money saved now.

Found a gorgeous one. Just need to see if I get approved!!

please adopt, so many dogs need a forever home

I do really want to, and I've found one that Id like to adopt, but I feel like I'm jumping through hoops. Explaining my reasoning why Id like a dog. I feel like this pushes people to go elsewhere

Just ignore other people who try to say otherwise. Yes there are lots of dogs that need rescuing and there will always be the argument about purebred versus a mixed breed. None of that matters because you already know what you want. You want a Pit Bull puppy. A breed that is one of the most loyal and tender dogs out there. They are a strong minded so need good solid training so they can live a long happy life with their humans.  
 
Stop making excuses for what you want. Be proud of your choice. Good luck. I hope you get your puppy.

The rescue groups "make you jump through hoops" to make sure you really want a dog and know what you're getting into. This is for the best interests of, most importantly, the dog. To make sure they are going to a loving home and will not end up back in rescue which is very hard on everyone.  
You are making a committment to this dog for the rest of it's life, so please be patient and let the group do their job. It will be well worth it. Good luck with your new furry friend!

I sent you a pm, check Inbox, Thanks.

Just please remember that rescue dogs generally came from very bad situations and the rescue you are dealing with is wanting to make sure you are going to be their 'forever family', not just a temp family. They also charge a lower adoption fee than it would cost you to get a 'free' puppy and pay for shots, spay, heart worm prevention and health guarantee. They are not trying to be a pain in the butt, they truly want to make sure that this will be a great match

For both prospective owners and the pups themselves to "jump through all the hoops", we are going through it right now and while its a longer process, in the end we will be getting exactly what we want and the dog will have a great home. and as the above poster said it will end up being far cheaper than purchasing a puppy from some random person, then shots/training/fixing etc. There are too many pups out there that get bought because the person decides they want a certain type and get it and its not what they thought so they sell the dog soon after, its not fair to the pup or the person involved, take your time its a huge responsibility owning a pet and not to be taken lightly.

Becoming a pet owner is a big responsibility. If you are in Brandon then you must abide by the bylaw "Animal Control By-Law 5900/57/91. Whether good or bad pit bulls carry a reputation so it would be to your best interest to be aware of Division 2, Section 7 (Dangerous Dogs) and your responsibilities under it. No particular breed is mentioned but you can bet if one complaint is received -THEY will be all over you. Good luck

I was a bit concerned that the OP was looking for, and found, a dog within a day or so. How do you know that's the right dog for you? It's like wanting to marry someone after a first date, LOL!  
 
Part of the process is evaluating that the dogs are a good fit for the family. A lot of dogs end up in rescue because they're not a good fit for the family, personalities, lifestyles, etc, not because they're bad dogs or the owners are abusive, etc.  
 
If the OP is sure about their decision, then more power to them. But I can't help be a little worried about someone wanting a dog with a reputation like a pitbull wanting a puppy, not knowing where to get a puppy, and then ... presto!... finding the perfect puppy in such a short span of time.
