My husband and I were married in June of 2004, by October we wanted to add something more, but we weren't quite ready for a child yet, so we looked into getting a puppy.  If were to get one though, my husband wanted a tough looking pup/dog.  He had a friend who had 2 pit bulls and decided that was what we were going to get.  We did some research on line about pit bulls, with me being a little leery of them at first, but I found a lot of positive information on them and also believed that it is all in how you raise them.  I was leaning towards a blue pit bull, I love their coat color and haven't seen very many of them.  My searching led me to Smoky Mtn. Pits.  I emailed my interest and Syd was quick on her response and very informative and she had the exact pup that I was looking for.  

We live about 6 hours away from Syd in Christiansburg , VA , we weren’t really looking to drive so far, but it was well worth it.  I had wanted to see how all the dogs were taken care and to meet Tio’s mother (Choccacon) and father (Koal).  We picked up our 3 month old male blue pit bull Tio on October 16, 2004.  Once there, we found a loving and caring breeder with happy, healthy, friendly, beautiful Pit Bulls.  Syd and her family were very nice, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit with them.  I am always staying in touch with Syd and overloading her with pictures of Tio.  My husband and I want to try to visit them whenever we can to catch up and let her see how Tio has grown.

Our Pit Bull Tio is now 9 months old and he is spoiled rotten, but yet he is so smart and has such a personality.  Everywhere we go people are always talking about how handsome he is and how he has a great personality and he is so loving and energetic.  I get proud everytime someone compliments him.  Tio is an inside dog and it has made him such a big part of the family.  I always tell people that I never thought it possible to love a dog so much.  I am very happy with Tio and I'm grateful to Syd for him.  Syd has always been there for any questions or concerns that I have ever had and I have learned a lot from her and have found a friend in her as well.  It's all meant a lot to me, my husband and Tio.

Thank you Syd for everything!

 We want to thank you so very much for the 2 wonderful and beautiful pups that we bought from you. Not only do you have the most beautiful pits that we have seen in a long time-but you truly love your animals. They are all in such good health and your kennels are always so clean. They all have such good temperaments. We checked out many other breeders and asked a lot of questions and you provided us with every thing we needed to know and we are more than pleased. We weren't looking to drive so far a distance to get a pup-but after checking out the local breeders in our area and the surrounding areas- we are so happy that we contacted you.

You stand behind your dogs and if we have a question-you are more than happy to help.

Thanks again for breeding such great dogs and you will continue to get our business and we will refer you to others.

In the Summer of 2002 I purchased a blue female puppy from Smokey Mountain Pits. I am an animal lover and wanted too meet the breeders in person and see what type of treatment their animals received before doing business with them. When I arrived at their property I was impressed to say the least. Each of their animals were exceptionally clean and well behaved. I must admit that I was a bit hesitant to get down on all fours to look at pups with the mother in such close proximity but to my surprise, mom was as friendly as the pups. Needless to say, I am very satisfied with the temperament of my dog. She is now full grown with a litter of her own (which by the way is a result of using Smokey Mountain as a source for her stud) and continues to be one of the most loving and gentle dogs of any kind that I have ever seen. Knowing what I know now, I would have paid double the asking price! She has been a wonderful and loyal companion. I plan on buying other dogs in the future, and as far as I am concerned, no one else could ever get my business. I am very impressed not only with the quality of the animal that I bought, but with the wonderful people that I bought her from. You cant beat them, or their dogs.

Syd and Bill,

 

I am enclosing some pictures of "Titus" for you to use as you wish.

 

Titus was purchased in June 2002 and was sired  by Tons of Tank.

Even though Tank looks like a strong forceful dog, his pup has grown

to be a loving and friendly companion.  Titus now weights 80lbs. and

enjoys going to the water to swim, talking long walks and playing with

his roommates (two cats, and two other dogs).

 

My family couldn't be happier with a pet, as Titus is a very affectionate

and playful dog with a good and gentle disposition.

 

Thanks again for breeding such a good dog.
