I’ve been a fan of your blog for quite some time now and I also submit pic of my dogs but I just saw you posted a picture of a pitbull which is pulling heavy weight, you can only see the dog but the pic is pretty clear, I bet you don’t support trainings like this which are also a big part of dog fighting but still I couldn’t be quiet about it.

Weight Pulling is a sport in which any breed can participate. Pulling is something most dogs enjoy, as it is very natural to them. Sled dogs and Bully breeds are most commonly used, since that is what they were once used for (pulling sleds and carts). But generally any working breed can benefit from weigh pulling. A good indicator, too, as to why a harness might not be the best tool to use to stop your dog from pulling on the leash 😉

Here’s a miniature poodle weight pulling!

Although some people may use weight pulling as a means to train their “pit bull” and help it gain muscle for fighting. That is not what this sport is intended for, nor is it what it is used for. There are rules and regulations, and it is held by many organizations, such as the United Kennel Club (UKC).
