So I decided to actually sit down and seriously try to do some pit bull art tonight and thought I’d share my first sketches here.

Now mind you, Toby has natural ears … so I’m sort of ad-libbing on the cropped ears a bit – as pictures aren’t the best study material for me.But I think I did okay considering they are my first serious attempts and they are just rough sketches lol.

Sketch 2:

Not too horrible, LOL!

Toby earned his second leg towards his UWP title today!! He pulled 845 pounds successfully! WooHOOO!

He only fouled out by taking too long at the last weight (935) though he did pull it, it went past the allotted time so he didn’t get the points for it.

He seemed to really enjoy it … but I think I SUCKED at handling him. Am hoping to join a practice group so that we can maybe compete him in weight pulling too, as I most obviously did not have a clue as to what I was doing, and totally need a mentor, LOL!

Hoping to get some pictures from yesterday’s pulling soon!

Well Toby got his very first leg of his UWP (UKC Weight Pulling) title today … he successfully pulled 595 pounds! He actually pulled 635, but he fouled out on one of the weight levels due to taking too long, and then fouled out again by taking too long for the 635 pounds.

However, even though he didn’t qualify, I had him pull it just to show him that he could, since this was his first time. After all, he had never even SEEN a weight pulling harness, let alone ever worn one, and had never even been at a pulling event … so I think that he did super good considering it was all brand new and sort of just thrust at him lol.

The folks at the event were just great and nice and helpful too, which really made it just a lovely event for us!

And not only that – but had started his CGC exam on Friday,l, but it got cut short due to rain … so we finished it today and now Toby has earned his CGC title too! Now we’ll need to eye that TT title too, and someday that TDI title!

This video is an endearing and sweet and amazing tribute to the intelligence, loyalty, devotion, and amazing nature of this breed.

Amen. Amazing dogs. I am honored to have one as a part of my family.
