I have to agree to a point - the American Pit Bull Terrier is a compact, well muscled, game dog... and the blue color is a fad right now that is very popular with people who want a pit bull for how it makes them look... instead of wanting a pit bull for what it is - an amazing terrier of any color.
My beef is not on color - it's with the physiological attributes go along with the dogs that are bred specifically *for* that blue color. I think many of the breeders that are specifically breeding for coat color only are breeding a dog that is so far away from what the APBT is... they really do seem like another breed. Take a look at all of those dogs on the sites posted above - do they really look like pit bulls, or do they look like oversized, unsound mastiffs?
This is not a pit bull:

I went through 20 pages of google images of "blue pit bull" search - but I didn't see a single one that looked like the fawn dog here.
