• chewbecca Posted : 6/22/2007 1:14:15 PM A lot of it is genetics. A lot of pit bull owners get their dogs into weight pull. A lot also work them out on treadmills, use flirt poles, spring poles, take them swimming. Pit bulls are generally stocky, muscular dogs anyway. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• alieliza Posted : 6/23/2007 2:46:26 PM It depends what you mean by muscely. Selective breeding and mixed breeding help to create the massive pit bulls that are way off of the breed standard. Muscley, fairly lean, pitbull standard sized dogs are conditioned through treadmills, weightpulls, various other sports, spring pole/flirt pole work, etc. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• DumDog Posted : 6/23/2007 6:00:13 PM if this is what you mean by muscly... its selective breeding. or the recreation of the disaster dog we call English Bulldog... aka breathing problems, lack of stamina etc. or so i am told by haters. the REAL pit bulls are supposed to be lean and sinewy, and .. healthy looking and should not exceed 40-something pounds... again... so i'm told. i'm not a pit enthusiast so i dont have the standard memorized, but i do know the history and what not. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• janet_rose Posted : 6/23/2007 7:01:09 PM Found this website...http://www.cosmos-staffords.co.uk/Training/Treadmill/treadmill.html U.S. folks need to be careful when getting a doggie treadmill.  In some localities it is considered dog fighting equipment and is illegal to possess.    Of course, there is nothing that keeps you from putting a dog on a human treadmill with a nice cushioned surface. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• alieliza Posted : 6/23/2007 7:01:32 PM To me, that dog looks like a mix. Especially in the side profile picture at the bottom of the page. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• DumDog Posted : 6/23/2007 7:01:37 PM those arent the standard and i would be willing to bet they have some french mastiff outcrossing in there somewhere..... i believe that partly its from breeding for that look since weight pulling is becoming more and more popular. at LEAST that dog looks a little more functional than some bulky blocky dogs we see...  his front legs and shoulders dont look like a horse shoe... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

These dogs are called "low riders" by Pit Bull "breeders".  These are usualy the gangsta type who breed for this.  Ack---[:'(] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
