I live in the #1 agricultural center of the world! Although I don't have a farm (never want one either) I've had pits for over 10 years and believe me I work them. My male is a high energy dog we bike ride for about 6 miles a day either sprinting or him pulling me on a bike. He's got a pack with 10lbs to carry when we walk for another 3 miles; plus all the play time. He sleeps like a baby and snores like a pig.

I never said anything about anyone not working there dogs.

this breed was bred for a specific purpose, springpole is probibly the closest thing thats legal.. to fufill its need to bite and shake something

and I did my best to answer your question of why we use springpole. pictures are used in my posts often to help show what im talking about.

@Diggit My comments weren't directed towards you it was in response to firehazards comments. I've used spring poles before and understand their use. When I get my pull up bar/spring pole up I'll get a video of it, my boy is pretty impressive.

LOL my dogs run miles in the mtns to kill coyotes and hunt bear I have always ran and used techniques unheard of by bulldog people back in the day, I was of few people that used springpoles,used horse leads, and ran/bike miles with my dogs, and hunted with my dogs; I know this cause everyone was amazed what Hooch and I did. No one even game dog men done what I did as they gave me props on Hooch; then overnight.. Like it went viral everyone was trying to construct limb lines and order treadmills and still couldnt keep up with the pace of my dogs, I didnt realize it then... But hind sight is always 20/20.. (wasnt overnight I just went walkabout for a bit came back into the life of society and found everyone doin the damm thing..) I condition my dogs I dont train them for anything unless Im training a K9 quality dog.

@ Diggits :clap: Keep on Bulldoggin'.......... I see alot of similarities in our simple regiments.. I gave ya props and noticed the feet on the ground, I agree with your POV about the feet on the ground as well..

You can put 'em as low as you want, and some dogs will take them to crazy heights. I had a foster am staff that would take off from one side of the yard, jump and grab the springpole, and just fly!

ya thanks

this is what a damaged foot pad looks like, it takes 3 days to heal and takes 4-5 days to be able to let them work hard again.
it puts a huge "kink" in a keep... days off that are not planned can mess with the whole keep.

im glad I dont have a show anytime soon, I took this pic of bunnys foot a few min ago, she was running the jenny and I didnt stop her soon enough, she will work until she drops I have to stop her every single time i work her.

damaged foot pads are no fun.

OT, but I've got a picture of Mase on my FB from the show in Kellyville OK last year. I thought I had others, but I guess I was mistaken. Probably have the originals stuffed away on my computer somewhere. Login | Facebook

oh wow thank you, I have tagged myself.

im happy he acted and treated ladyrampage well... with my experiance hes more of a "one person" dog, he acts a bit low key with someone he does not favour. also I dont trust many to handle or work with him just because of how freakishly strong and smart he is. thats one week before I picked him up and brought him home to canada.

im looking forward to working toward his ace title and showing him in the champion of champions
