I live in the Saint Louis Area, I'm looking for a Female American Pit Bull Puppie. No older than 10 weeks. I've searched high&low. Price range from 100$-300$. Please help me find. Thank you.

They are not cheap. If you buy one at that price, you may get one that has been mistreated, therefore giving it a higher chance of being mean.
Personally, I think ANY dog can turn mean and nasty if mistreated. Pits and Rottweilers are a couple of breeds more prone to getting downright nasty.
I think ANY breed of dog can be a great dog if raised in the right environment.
It is just with Pits you have to ensure that it never has the opportunity to get rude to an innocent person by making sure it can't get loose in the neighborhood.
I have a friend with two Pits, and two kids. His are the sweetest dogs. Nothing like you see in the news and horror stories. But that doesn't mean they won't get mean, either. You just have to be extra careful with that breed of dog. I mean EXTRA careful.
The other columnist is very right, that you need to be sure you research the breed and learn ALL about them. Before you even think about getting one.

And you would know this if you had looked into the breed , Which is very unsafe getting a dog you know nothing about . Also , It being a pitbull we don't need anymore less respnsible owners out there. They are already banned enough we don't need more to be hated .
Anyways , I think that you should talk to a breeder and ask them if this type of dog suits your lifestyle and from the sounds out it it may be your first dog , and APBT are NOT a good breed to get for beigniners .
Go check out a local SPCA they will hook you up with a nice dog , That suits your lifestyle .
PS;I used to own two APBT .
Also , I don't think my adivce is suckie just the truth . Andd you said you dont want to go somewere and look for a dog , and come home with an ugly one .
Looks are not a reason to get a dog .
If you have any other question's feel free to ask . Though , I am no expert .
Hope I helped .
