WRONG...look at these poor dogs' heads..

I liked ehr ears and the expression on her face. She was only... I forget how old but she was a HEAVY SOLID pup. I Haven't seen her since but she'd be all grown up now. That was around christmas/new years. She's probably very pretty and would be a good weight puller. She sure pulled on her leash hard enough... >.-   Lol.

so do any of those bow-legged woodspits win in the weight-pull contests?  

i looked at their "Bragging rights" page... only thing i saw that was noteworthy is.. the dogs will stand still next to a bottle of hooch, hang from a stick, and do their best not to tip over due to their unbalanced top heavy heads and shoulders....

 so far so good...

as for weight pulling

i want to beat that guy with this chain.... i have a chain similar to it... its only got thirteen links in it and it alone weighs ten pounds..... granted, its a logging chain, but its heavy for being so small.. that sucker has to weigh a lot more and that poor dog has to drag it around every day....


 

[sm=flamethrower.gif]woodspits....

I didn't read every response in this thread because I am on a timed session at the library, but my first thought when I saw that site was,
 
"Those look like what happened to English Bulldogs..."
 
those dogs don't look like pits at all to me.

and do their best not to tip over due to their unbalanced top heavy heads and shoulders....

 
maybe that's what the heavy chains are for... ballast.

i agree with you, i said the same earlier; that these guys are recreating the EB.. their purposes, they claim, is to improve the reputation and make a more people/family friendly pit bull.... (*insert Yosemite Sam cussing fit here*) we already HAVE THAT!! TWO OFTHEM!! They're called AmStaff AND English Bulldog!!! [:@]


i'm getting more and more tempted to make my own website.... about the idiocy of these "breeders" and their goals.... but i fear the damage has already been done. every punk and his brother wants or owns one or two or ten....

Yeah, but whether those punks and brothers own them or not, at least you can stop other people from owning them by making your own website. I'd be willing to contribute to it as well if you like.

hmmm... i still have a yahoo geocities account... i needs dusting off badly.
problem is posting pictures. i dont want to get my butt chapped for copy right infringements and as i said earlier, people around here dont have pit bulls like that so i cant take my own photographs. i would have to go to the dog park in the city and hope someone shows up - there was one guy there that a american bully type but no way near this extreme... his dog was just short like a staffy bull.

I'd bet you money the chains on those dogs are a lighter metal than that logging chain.  I highly doubt those dogs would be able to stand with an actual chain of that size.  The logging chain you found is probably true iron, especially if it has any rust, which is insanely heavy.  There's this bench made out of iron sitting in the basement that's been there probably since the house was built 50years ago.  There's no way you'd move the darn thing unless you tore the house apart and lifted it with a crane or used something that could cut the bench apart.  4 strong guys laid their shoulders into that sucker and it barely shifted.  In comparison most similar sized metal benches made today would probably only take 2 people to slide out the door.  The type of metal makes a huge difference in the weight.  I've held chains of the same size and link thickness but with extremely different weights.  There are even chains(steel?) with hollow links which are very light(compared to iron at least) but from a distance look just like a regular logging chain.  Considering how much these guys seem interested in appearances instead of truths they probably went looking for chains that looked like big heavy duty monsters but in reality don't weigh nearly that much so it appears that the animal can haul around this big weight so easily.  The giant clips on the collars are most definitely not a heavy metal but probably aluminum carabiners.  They actually weigh less than 2oz.

some of it agree with
except..
these guys look like they keep these dogs on chains all the time. and the problem with bulldogs on chains.. is they break them. when we first moved (we had a fence at our old house) there was no fence so we had to use a cable for our dogs until a fence was built. i would have been happy to let them run free but they scared the people across the street.... the dogs broke chain after chain after chain.... these werent wimpy chains you get in walmart. they were thick (though not THAT thick) my dogs are all around the 80# mark, just like those, but more athletic, so breaking stuff was easy for them. it HAD to be heavy duty.
though.. now we have an in ground fence... which holds them better than a chain or cable ever did.... ironic... and its on the lowest setting.. just hearing the beep is enough to make them get back..

also its a bad boy image to have an actual heavy industrial chain around a dog's neck. some people do it to "build muscle" but they dont know that it actually strains muscles and can cause neck and back problems.
