I got a call from my brother yesterday. He was with a friend and they wanted to invite me to an AM Bully weight pull competition in a couple weeks in Flint. I mentioned there was another in Belleville I was thinking about going to this week and the friend says "Naw, you don't wanna go there. I went last year and it was a buncha small dogs. Nothing worth botherin with!" He goes on to say how Am Staffs and APBT aren't real Pit dogs and not worth seeing pull. I had to get off the phone before I lost my grip!

Man, whats with all the small (within breed standard) dog hate??

Amstaffs aren't real pit dogs but the american pit bull terrier is the emblem of the pit dog. The apbt won't be able to pull more than a mastiff, but thing is, apbts will die trying to pull to the finish line. I've heard of apbts injuring their hips, hocks, shoulders, etc. by overexerting themselves.
