Frequently Asked Questions

Discover why our approach is exactly what you need for you and your family.

Do You Offer Refunds On Deposits?2018-11-09T16:02:25+00:00

NO we will never refund money for someone who puts a deposit down. If the puppy they reserved dies, gets sick, hurt or is not born or any other circumstance your deposit still will not be refunded it will be transferred to another breeding, puppy, trained dog or training of buyers choice. We want buyers that are 100% committed to us and especially our dogs and if that is not you than your not a right fit for one of our dogs.

 

If We Buy A Dog From FPM Will The Dog Come With Full Breeding Rights?2020-12-23T18:55:23+00:00

Most of our dogs that you purchase from us will not come with full breeding rights. The only way your dog will come with full breeding rights is if you pay extra. We believe here at FPM that our dogs are best suited to family homes.

What Countries Can You Ship Your Dogs Too?2022-02-17T09:21:52+00:00

We can ship our puppies and trained dogs with our hand delivery service to your home for an extra cost to all 50 States and Canada. We DON’T use any 3rd party shippers. We also highly recommend that all of our buyers come to our facility and pick up your new family member in person.  We also have hand delivered dogs to other countries in South America, Europe, Asia and the United Kingdom over the last 10 years. The shipping to these countries usually costs around $1500 – $3000 USD on top of the price of the dog. The only country we WON’T ship a dog to is Australia, because of the no rabies rule and they have a pitbull ban.

What Is The Best Way To Contact You?2023-01-28T10:54:54+00:00

The best and fastest way to contact us is by calling our office directly at 731-343-9916. If no one is in the office please leave your information in a voicemail. You can also send emails to info@fpmkennels.com and we will get back to you very shortly. If your not ready to get a dog for a while I would suggest to sign up for our newsletter on the bottom of the website with your email address. We usually have monthly updates regarding new dogs or training to let everyone know whats going on.

What Type Of PItbulls Do You Have? Also how big do your dogs get fully grown?2018-11-09T16:02:10+00:00

We would consider our pitbull to be Standard American Pit Bull Terriers and XL Pitbulls. Most of our males weigh from 75 to 120 pounds and about 22″ – 28″ inches tall at the withers. Most of our females range in the weight of 65 to 100 pounds and 18″ to 26″ inches tall at the withers. I understand everyone on the internet brags about having a 160 pound pitbull which the weights of their dogs are usually over inflated. Even if these dogs are this size they are going to be crossed with some type of mastiff breed, I promise you that. Our dogs are usually about the height and weight of a standard Golden Retriever. Which this height and weight are optimal for functionality and lifespan. Our dogs are extremely smart which is a must have for training your dogs in protection or to be a family dog.

What Color Of Dogs Do You Have?2018-11-09T16:02:11+00:00

We do not breed for color, we breed for train-ability, health and temperament, but we have had the following colors in the past and different combinations of: champagne, red, blue, white gold, black, brown, brindle, light red, fire red, white, fawn, blue tri, red tri.

What If I Put A Deposit Down And A Dog Is Not Born?2018-11-09T16:02:12+00:00

We don’t refund any deposits at all. We will let you transfer the deposit to another breeding, puppy or training service. We don’t keep any money from our clients we just want to take deposits from people who are ensuring to use our service. You will have a credit for any dogs not born that you can use whenever you would like too. If your putting a deposit down we only want people who are 100% commuted to us and the dog.

What Type Of Methods Do You Train The Puppies And Dogs With?2018-11-09T16:02:12+00:00

We start all of our dogs out with: positive training, markers, verbal commands, hand gestures, clickers and treats till about 16 weeks old. At about 5 months old we start training the dog with more advance commands. We don’t train our dogs to follow the commands just for a treat. We also use praise, toy motivation and e-collars for more disciplined training. We want each command to be done verbally, and the dogs to do the command with hand gestures.

Is Owning A Pitbull Different From Owning Other Breeds Of Dogs?2018-11-09T16:02:23+00:00

Is owing a Ferrari different than owning a Honda? Yes, Pitbulls are different compared to  other breeds, especially our dogs. We have trained other powerful breeds before such as Rottweilers and Shepherds.  Which these kinds of breeds are a lot more human aggressive than Pitbulls naturally. The Pitbulls are naturally more aggressive towards other dogs, but these behaviors can be trained to channel that aggression or energy into something positive for the dogs and people. Pitbulls also bond with humans more than I have ever seen in another breed of dog, which is why most people love them so much including us. Pitbulls can also be very loyal and stubborn, but once trained correctly you will not want to own any other breed.

Where Is FPMKENNELS.COM Located? Can we come in person and pick our dog up?2022-02-17T09:35:48+00:00

We are located in Tennessee about 1.5 hours west of Nashville on a 50 acre private training facility. We encourage you to personally come spend a night at the facility as we give you a tour around the 50 acre facility.  In order to do so we require  you to have a signed PDF Form contract with a deposit on a breeding, training or a dog. The reason we require this is because the safety of the dogs will always come first. We have clients worldwide that trust us with their dog and we will never let anyone visit them unless they follow our protocol. We only allow people who are under our system, which includes all of their personal information.

How Do I Maintain My Dog’s Training?2018-11-09T16:01:53+00:00

When you pick up the dog or we deliver it, we’ll show you how to handle and work the training commands with your new dog. You’ll have the same level of control with your dog that our trainers do. We’ll also pass along our training techniques and principles so you can keep your dog’s training sharp in the comfort of your own home.

Should you feel you need a follow-up session or maintenance training, feel free to contact us and we’ll be happy to assist.

Why Would I Buy A Dog From Finestpitbullsmade.com Instead Of Another Company?2022-02-17T09:42:45+00:00

Anyone searching the Internet can find hundreds of companies selling pitbulls that claim to be as good as ours.  Don’t be fooled, most of these so called companies don’t have the proper resoucers and are scamming people. I always hear people tell me I have found someone online that is offering me a dog way cheaper than the dogs you offer for sale. I tell them every time they would be a better option if your looking for the cheapest option. We have $20,000 – $30,000 in expenses, a month to just run our training facility. We have multiple employees, multi million dollar facility, taxes, insurance, food, training gear, camera equipment, maintenance of 50 acres, premium vet care for dogs, website maintenance, vehicles and much more. We have the highest quality set up for any dogs in the world and especially in the Pitbull breed. This does not happen for free and we don’t cut any corners compared to other companies who care for their dogs. Most of these breeders won’t let you come out in person because they have something to hide. We encourage  you to come out in person because if you do we know you will buy a dog from us once you see our dogs swimming in our 3 acre lake enjoying life. I would even go as far as saying our dogs live on what I would call a resort for dogs or humans. Our dogs have more freedom and structured training than most humans have in their life and this is all very crucial with having dogs around your kids. So you don’t want us to cut corners on the dogs so don’t cut corners on what your buying for your family. Their safety should come first to you.

What we offer with most of our dogs sold: USDA certified health certificate, puppy care package, dog training support, obedience & protection commands on most of our puppies. FPM knows what it takes to go above and beyond. Our mission is to hand deliver the finest family dogs with the most advanced training for Pitbulls available anywhere in the world. We will do all of this in the most professional manner you have ever seen before.

Are Your Dogs Aggressive With People?2018-11-09T16:01:54+00:00

It depends on what the dog is trained to do, for example if your buying a puppy that comes with the regular puppy training the dog is just trained to be obedient and not aggressive at all. But with a dog trained in protection that’s entirely up to you. Some people choose to have their dog react to anyone at the door, while others prefer their dog to be accepting to anyone who enter unless told otherwise. Once you communicate to your dog that it’s OK, your dog will gladly accept your family and friends into your home.

Will My Puppy Come With Shot, Health, And Feeding Directions?2018-11-09T16:02:24+00:00

Yes, all of our puppies will come with a puppy care package that includes: brochures, folders, coupons, pamphlets, health records and even how to take care of your puppy the first year.

What Forms Of Payment Do you Accept For Your Dogs & Training? Also Do You Offer Payment Plans?2022-01-25T05:28:09+00:00

For deposits we will accept debit, credit and ACH bank transfers. The type of payment plans we offer is putting a 50% deposit down on a dog with training. For reserving any of the puppies we now require a 50% deposit to reserve one.  You will pay the rest of the puppy, trained dog or training service off when you pick the dog up or two weeks before shipping.

 

Are Your Dogs Good With Kids And Other Pets?2018-11-09T16:02:10+00:00

We have certain dogs that are breed for a specific task- job like personal protection work. We have dogs that are hand selected each generation from a litter of our puppies to specifically be a family dog for you and your loved ones. We also will start training our dogs at the moment they can walk, so if you get a puppy with training it has months of learning the best way to behave around people. This is so important for the later years of the dogs life. If you want a dog that will be good around certain pets just tell us before, and we will find the right dog that is genetically selected and trained for this. All of our dogs will be good with kids or we won’t own them because 95% of our dogs go to owners with kids so this is our number one priority. The biggest issue our company has seen in the last ten years is two male dogs left alone can have aggression issues with each other because they both want to be the alpha male, that’s just animal nature. I’ve also seen females that will act very aggressive around each other if they are in heat. So I would always recommend to only have two big dogs that are a male and a female. We have multiple dogs out in our 50 acre facility, but only under human supervision.

What’s The Lowest Price Of Training & Dogs You Offer?2020-12-23T18:57:07+00:00

The price we offer with puppies without any training or breeding rights is $1500 to $3500

The price we offer full breeding rights with puppies without any training is $5000 to $10,000

We have 6 different packages for dogs sold with training from $4,500 to $25,000

We will train dogs from somewhere else but they must purchase a minimum of $1,000 worth of training.

What Bloodlines Are Your Dogs?2022-02-17T09:50:31+00:00

When we originally started back in 2011 we had multiple bloodlines.  I would say we have owned anywhere from  20-30 bloodlines of pitbulls. We’ve had all the popular ones you will see everyone brag about. Some of the bloodlines we have in our dogs are chevy, razors, gotti, whopper, dagger, ofrn, ick, razors edge, gotti, torres bloodline, camelot. What really separates us from anyone else is not just our dogs, but our training methods for family dogs is unlike anything you will find anywhere else in the world. Being very successful in anything is being the best in multiple ways, we strive to be better than yesterday, every day. All of our dogs pedigrees are listed online with pitpedia.com you can search up our dogs on there or visit our males and females page to see them.

At What Age Can We Get Our Puppy?2018-11-09T16:02:11+00:00

Our puppies that are bought with training will usually go home around 14 to 20 weeks old if training starts when puppy is 6 weeks old.

We let our puppies with no training go to their home at 6 to 8 weeks. They must be 8 weeks old to fly on a plane legally.

We also have fully trained dogs from 16 weeks to two years old.

Will You Train My Dog Even If We Didn’t Buy Her/Him From You?2018-11-09T16:02:12+00:00

Yes, we will train your dog even if it wasn’t bought from us. The dog just needs to be at least 16 weeks old, and has all of it shots and health records up to date. Contact us with the type of training you want done for you and your family member. Our most basic training starts at $1,000 and can get up to $30,000 – $50,000 for competition level obedience and protection.

An Example Of A Puppy With Training Contract In NON PDF Form2018-11-09T16:02:14+00:00

 

Can You Get The Ears Cropped Of The Puppy I am Buying?2022-01-25T05:31:21+00:00

Yes, we can get the ears cropped by our State Licensed Veterinarian. This will cost an extra $1,000 separate from the price of the dog. We also take care of all the after care that includes taping and removing the stitches. We will have to keep the puppy longer though because ear cropping can’t be done till they are at least 10 to 12 weeks old. It is not guaranteed we have enough time with our vet for ear cropping.

Why Do You Require A Deposit On Puppies, Breedings, And Training?2022-02-17T09:47:05+00:00

The reason we require deposits is because of the safety of our dogs and wanting people 100% committed to the dog months before the purchase. Another reason is we have many clients who inquiry us on a daily basis for the same dog. Our website gets over a million visitors a year so it’s a lot to keep up with. Almost all of our dogs are sold out before they are born. A deposit insures you a spot on that specific breeding of your personal preference. We have hundreds of people a day contacting us for a dog and around 2-5 of those people will actually end up buying a dog. The best example of this is how many people do you see talking about becoming a millionaire?? But in reality how many people are actually a millionaire. Everyone wants one of these dogs but, very few people can actually afford them money and time wise.  A deposit with a signed contract secures that we are not wasting our time on false dreams, and we can actually serve our clients needs. We have a multi million dollar facility, taxes, insurance, employees all of these expenses that most of these so called professional breeders/trainers will never know about. Our clients understand this and appreciate us being very upfront about our process. We offer the highest quality in the world and we are achieving this by focusing on quality not quantity. We require a 50% deposit on any training, and any dog. The rest of the payment owed will be required two weeks before one of our team member hand delivers you your puppy or if you come in person you can pay on the spot. All dogs will be paid in full before one of our team members hand delivers your dog unless otherwise specifically stated in contract that both buyer and seller agreed too. Deposits are never refundable but always transferable to another breeding, dog or training service. We also do not use any third party dog shipping companies. You must come to our facility or one of team members will meet you for pick up.

Why Don’t I Buy My Own Puppy From Somewhere Else?2018-11-09T16:01:53+00:00

Many people think that if they buy a pitbull puppy — or another breed of dog it will be the same as ours — but this is very far from the case

Our dogs are specifically hand selected each generation for the proper traits to be a family dog. Rather it be personality, training or aesthetic reasons. This is not something that happens overnight but after selecting dogs for multiple generations. Our dogs are specifically trained to be around your family. It’s the culture we have around our dogs so they think its how they should act to fit in with the rest of the pack. Our dogs are well controlled, they are not aggressive dogs that attack whenever they deem necessary. Our dogs wait for your command, and they have been trained for realistic scenarios to be around you and your family in your daily life.
