If you don't want to compete, and you are in to mentoring kids, have a go at Sue Sternberg's "Lug Nuts" program - she teaches inner city kids to do weight pull using just inexpensive harnesses, plastic sleds, and bags of dog food as the weight, which can be distributed later. She thinks it keeps the kids from fighting their Pits (after all, you can bet on a pull just as easily as you can bet on a fight). I hope that those of you in the sport will think about asking your clubs to give back by getting involved in this if you are in an area where dogs are being used for fighting. Just one way we can help put an end to that...
