[Big Papa]

how much can a pitbull pull at it's max will it be up to like 2,000 lbs ro just like 500lbs??????j/w

[mike333]

I remember someone saying theyre dog pulled 3,900.I'm not sure how much a dog could pull at theyre max..it really depends on the dog.I think wiskey bay's dogs pulled over 4,000..not sure i'll have to try & find out I think she's got a pic in her gallery of it.

[Big Papa]

wow now that is alot....the dog must be a great dog to pull that much

[mike333]

wow now that is alot....the dog must be a great dog to pull that muchI cant find the pic.Yeah,she's got some built up dogs.You should check out her gallery if you got time.http://www.game-dog.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif

They can pull over 2,000 and they can pull a couple hundred-depends on the dog. I've seen some very impressive dogs pulling their body weight multiplied an ungodly ammount of times. Seen a pic of one pulling his owners beetle out of a ditch too...lol.

[Marty]

Seen a lil bitch 26lbs pull 2600lbs called her try&stop her ;)

[Big Papa]

wow these dogs are truly strong

[whiteyransom]

their a few weight pull people on here..somebody'll pop up and give ya all kind of info!

[Big Papa]

yeah hopefully they will

[WWII]

I think Aurora's dog Rusty can pull some pretty good weight. I talked to him awhile ago and he was all "Yeah, I just hooked him up to my truck and let him pull it the length of my driveway", like it was something they did everyday.

[GAPITS]

friend of mine has a 33 lb. bitch that that just won a compt. pulling 1704 for the final pull

[tnob]

This is a buddy of mine. Female, watch at the end of the video they show the weight

[Tiara]

It all depends on how the competition is set up, cart, rails, or snow pull. We've seen a dog pull 11,000 pounds on a rail system. That was a level track though (or maybe even went downhill!). On our rail system set at a 1" incline, the dogs pulled about 4,500.

[Big Papa]

wow now those are strong dogs........well hopefully my big guy can pull more tahn hsi body weight too.....by like 10 x hehe

[B]

The Swedish weight pull champ bred off of gamedog Frisco stock pulled 91 times her own weight. She did about 4600 lbs and she weighs right around 50 lbs. Truly impressive... especially when you hear the huge blue people brag about 4000 lbs and their dog weighs 80 or 90 lbs.

[Traceygsu]

I know a dog that pulled 5800ibs. Check him out http://www.housepitbullfarm.com/

We should NEVER be concerned about the money you can make of your dog. Anyone who gets all excited about making money from their dog needs to be sent to Iraq & live there with NO money. You want money? Get a job. (& anyone who talks all they can about ways to make money from there dogs needs their mouths ducktaped shut) JMO

LOL. Same with me & hunting. There was nothing like seeing Akee get a hold on the hog way before another catch dog could get his balance together & go in for one. She made it look easy! What does that slogan say? Pain is temporary, Pride is forever (not money!)

dog for money how dumb

[14rock]

We should take about how much money we have lost or been cheated out of over the dogs we have or have owned.
I agree. So many people are hung up on getting money back from the dogs like its a business......To me this is the equivelent of having your daughter be a red light gal because you put so much $$ into her growing up!:rolleyes: People forget that although these dogs are a way of life.....they should still be a hobby and not a money making adventure.

[Big Papa]

that is true pitbulls she never be made for business they were made for family companion

[zopaintball]

I agree with most of you but to answer a question that would get you more money for pups to have a proven dog besides a 100 year old line that dont mean anything. Someone has to sell pups (So yes someone runs a buissness) and peeps that look for quality pups pay more its sorry that other people just dont care what they turn out and will sell anything for a buck.

I think alot of people jump on people for asking question about selling or making money or litters so much its kinda crazy I know where your coming from. I just think it would be better to educate them instead of a beat down over the internet.

[miakoda]

Someone has to sell pups (So yes someone runs a buissness)That's where you're wrong. Selling puppies/dogs should NEVER ever ever be a business! Those "businesses" are also known as back yard breeders, puppy peddlers, puppy mills, etc. They only serve to make themselves a quick buck without any effort of their own only to ruin breeds, abuse/neglect dogs, & produce poor quality dogs. We don't need "businesses". We need true dogmen. My dogs are my joy, my hobby, hell, my life. Not a business.

[zopaintball]

I am not going to argue with you. but if you sell a puppy it is a business reguardless what you want to call it. If people selling Pups are not a buisness then could someone please Give me a nice lined Red/rednosed pup looking for another puppy :)

You have to think about it selling a dog for $500-$2000 not a buisness if you just did it for the breed, for the dog, for you, history , what ever, then you would not worry about the cost of raising, training, feeding, vet supplies, and try to recoop your losses. You also would not be required to either put down money or buy a pup when you walk on a good yard!!!


Now that being said I love our breed I dont agree with every dumb but with dogs breeding either, I just think people go dang near crazy when someone says they are going to breed or have a pregnet dog


Edit to add this We as everyone with a pit, kennel etc dont even want to bring up old doggmen they did raise dogs to improve the line but it was deff about money for most of them.

ZO

[miakoda]

then you would not worry about the cost of raising, training, feeding, vet supplies, and try to recoop your losses. I don't! That's NOT what breeding is about nor should it be about! If I can't afford my dogs by making money through of job of my OWN (gee, what a concept), then I won't own them. I don't use puppy sells to keep me going.

I'm glad you love the breed, but you also love the "business" aspect of it. And that's a damn shame.

Oh, & for the record: out of 6 litters, I sold 2 puppies! And both went to people I know very well. The rest I still own, but they reside with my brothers & a handful of close friends. I don't breed to make money, I have a job for that. I breed to improve the breed, to improve my dogs' lines, & to improve upon my dogs in general. It's not about money. If someone has to keep breeding to sell just to afford the dogs one does have, then one should get rid of all their dogs period.

[zopaintball]

Hey guy I have two dogs and have not had, sold, any pit pups and am not planing anytime soon!!!


As far as a real job have one of them to. Pretty good at that, make enough for my wife to be at home mom and everything. No dogs or any other ouside income is needed to care for anything in my household.

My comments are just a Fact people way over do it when it comes to breeding/ selling pups what ever you want to call it comes up in the forums.

You are dead on with that quote. And that's why my grandchildren will probably only get to know the APBT from pictures & videos.

[rocksteady]

Zo..did you buy your dogs or did you rescue them. If you bought them, who did you buy them from?

Also.. If you want a "Red nosed red pup" that bad, you can rescue one that is on death row in some shelter because his or her BYB was trying to make $$$$... then spend the $$ treating its mange, behavorial problems, Hip displasyia, skin disorders..

People bet money, land, cars and whatever would get them a match! Money #1 reason this sport was worth playing. Don't get me wrong, a good dog had to come to play for this to happen. History tells us that this was a poor mans sport and they matched to gain money and respect from other dogmen. People making side bets and earning cash without even owning a dog! It was a betting sport and thats the way it was and has been. Hobby yes, but its going to make money or lose money. Some people get bent out of shape over the issue but face the facts its a money sport if your talking about gamedogs otherwise its a show hobby. Gamedog is a money dog and bet your ass it will make someone a pockit full if done right! I will not give money for a show dog, pull dog or pups off them. Everytime i turn around someone wants to give me a dog but I ask them what is it good for and most of the time the answer is, He's a good pet! BLA, BLA, BLA! Keep it! Colby was a betting man that sold pups and some of the dogs were not even his! Here is one for ya! Some folks don't want to raise a pup or pups. They look for breeders that do the dirty work and get it to a starting point for someone. I have more calls on adult dogs than pups and that was my goal to raise what I bred and sell the finished product to a man that wants only a grown dog! I did the hard work so its going to cost for my time and effort! I have held dogs for two or more years just to prove them before they even get pushed to the public "People I know" that are going to cashout on the deal! For the love of the game and Money!!! If you think different your not really dealing in gamedogs because someone is making money off of it!

[miakoda]

I'm not talking about betting.

If you think different your not really dealing in gamedogs That statement is b.s. It's about pride and victory, not money, to me.

Good for you! But betting is for money or some type of self gain!
Dealing with this dog I know you lose your pride more than you keep it and Victory comes in all shapes and sizes! Meaning what level your showing on? Now if you had said Time and money + gamedogs = a dog that better do something after I raised its sorry ass! I would respect that but we ant on the same level! A person that has patience and keeps himself humble and does not let pride get in the way is someone that has his or her act together!

Selective showing can earn you victory and goes about as far as you can throw it out your back door and your the only one that can see it out the window! You can keep your pride and your victory because its about having Bulldogs that will keep coming back even if they can't win a show off of ability.

If you outclass your opponents all the time then your not really putting faith in your dogs ability because you found a comfort zone that makes you look and feel good around the fools your outclassing which = dog sales but not the good stock just all your culls! Just a reminder, a cur can win in the right hands and even produce gamedogs! Yawn! this crap makes me sleepy but anyway! Different strokes for different folks Pal!

[miakoda]

LOL. That's all I can say. You're right we aren't on the same level. I don't depend on puppy sales to keep my yard going. Everything I make working at a job goes to buying dogs, keeping dogs, & whatnot. I don't give a rat's ass about how much I can make off a litter. I don't hunt my dogs to see how much money I can make so I can by myslef fancy things while my dogs eat Ole Roy. I don't just let litters die from parvo & call it "natural selection" & this isn't a money making business for me. The pride & the victory aren't for me either. You don't know me, you're right. Because I want it that way. You yawn all you want. I'm trying to bring this breed up not just sitting around on my ass yawning.

I'm sorry I lost my temper. :) I do that a lot. We both love & believe in the bigger picture although the roads to get there might stray apart somewhat. So for that I will never be mad (ok, stay mad) at you.;)

[Big Papa]

haha i prefer just to let my dogs stay freely

[americandream]

wow now that is alot....the dog must be a great dog to pull that much
thank you, that was my dog britney, her first show she pulled 3,900 lbs and that was 54 times her body weight. they told me to foul her at 4,100 lbs because it was her first show and she was getting tired and fustrated. she could have pulled more then.... but now im guessing around 4,500lbs. i been working a lot with her and i learned a lot from everyone there.

[americandream]

if you have any questions about training i can help. believe me britney was hard to train she couldnt even walk on a leash proper. or sit on command. people assume i dont know anything but let me tell ya. if you could see the work that i did you would be amazed.

[CB]

Edited didnt want to start stuff back up

[americandream]

thats right public board remember........ pm if you wanna "start stuff back up" i seen a american bull dog pull 10,000 lbs and hes was only just over a year old. he was 100 lbs. he was amazing he won the pound for pound.

[CB]

thats right public board remember........ pm if you wanna "start stuff back up" i seen a american bull dog pull 10,000 lbs and hes was only just over a year old. he was 100 lbs. he was amazing he won the pound for pound.Well thats good for him.

[rocksteady]

its amazing he's still healthy. I hope ur smart enough to understand that a Am Bulldog just over a year old is STILL GROWING and pulling that much weight could SERIOUSLY injure him.... Whats amazing is the ignorant owner who allowed their dog to do that.. tsk tsk.. now THATS ingnorant

[americandream]

oh well not my dog.

[americandream]

there also was a 10 yr old pit that beat brit by 200 lbs. he pulled 4,100lbs he came in first. i wish i hadnt fouled her she would have won.

[miakoda]

seen a american bull dog pull 10,000 lbs and hes was only just over a year old. he was 100 lbs. he was amazing he won
And it will be even MORE amazing if he's not completely broken down & crippled by age 3. People need to quit thinking of themselves & start thinking of their dogs more often. Then the average healthy life span of a pit bull wouldn't be 5.

[SLICK WILLIE]

Tell'em Mia!!! And it will be even MORE amazing if he's not completely broken down & crippled by age 3. People need to quit thinking of themselves & start thinking of their dogs more often. Then the average healthy life span of a pit bull wouldn't be 5.

[americandream]

i agree 100%. weight training should not start until 16 months even then light weights. for a pit. larger breeds about 19 months. they take longer to fully develop. i have seen some nasty pics of aultered bones. :(

[Big Papa]

i guess best time to make him pull max is 2 or 3 yrs old even tho thats long it is best for him

[americandream]

ya for sure, i would hate to see one of my baby's bow legged because of my own stupidity. i would never make a pup still growning pull. i wish everyone saw it that way. but what can we do?

start him off with a milk jug with pebble's in it. the sound of something behind the dog freaks it out. get used to sound first thats the first step. :)

[Big Papa]

but thats my way of thining it and i dont see bootay's post

[miakoda]

You don't see her posts because her reputation level is so low

[americandream]

so much for some good advice......

[miakoda]

I will keep fighting for this breed until my last breath.....:cool:

[Big Papa]

you go suki

[TrubsDiary]

at confirmation and pull shows i've seen some of the 75+ lb dogs pull in upwards of 7-8 thousand pounds on a rail-car track. I believe there is a record wt pulled of over 9 thousand pounds pulled by a 124lb dog. i'm not exactly for sure, so don't quote me. I'll do some investigating to give you some actual facts. And in the ADBA C/Weight shows, that weight is pulled about 10 feet in less than 1 minute.

[americandream]

that am bulldog i was talkin about was 100 lbs and pulled 10,000 lbs and he could have pulled more but they ran out of brick!

thats cool to hear about 75 lbs range im going to work my brit to that level. it would be cool if she could pull 7,000.lbs

[tommy3]

it doesnt matter what they look like, they can pull! i like zar.So, you think it is perfectly fine to sell mutts with the name pit bull slapped on it because they can pull? You never cease to amaze me.

i think best for those is to neuter and spay
