It's a fun way to work and show off your dogs OB and trick training...set it to music, we could all appear to have dancing dogs. Ha, there's an idea for a future contest. Bob, you too...How is your granddaughter's dog doing?

Those little ones can dance too..

Kudos to you Christina!

My brother and I did a midnight "rescue" of a pit bull a few yrs ago from dog fighters.

The vet said she should be put down.

The dog had a head injury that caused one of her eyes to dilate

When she got excited.

She had a 22 cal slug under the skin on the back of her neck.

She had one front leg that was crooked from a broken leg that never healed properly.

My brother kept the dog for 12+ yrs and she was a fantastic, well mannered, obedient pet and great truck dog.

With work she became trustworthy around other dogs but not around other pits. Go figure!

No Kudos for me, Bob, I'm getting so much more back from my (former) stray than I'm giving. Kudos to you and your brother! You must be very courageous. You certainly ran a great risk with this midnight rescue.
I know, that so many dogs are abused in different ways and what happens with Pits in those goddamned dogfights and how brutally they are prepared for this and finally thrown away, when no more proftable for those human monsters.

Additionally this has led to the incredible prejudices against this race. I myself have two Pits. A lot of people here change the side of the street, when they see me walking one of them, although I have them always online. Apart from this, they'd never attack a human, they love them, but most people of course don't know this. I could write a book about how a a lot of Pits and certain other powerful races are kept here. Not necessarily brutally in this direct sense, but only as guarddogs, never seeing a part of the outside world, never having a relationship with someone.

It always makes me happy, when I hear of someone taking care of such poor creatures.

For Tammy: LOL!! LHO!!! My husband came running to look if I am allright. But then of course he giggled too. Yes, the little ones can dance too, often much better than the bigger ones. I can let my heavy Pits bounce and jump on their hindlegs only for a very short time, I fear it could be harmful for their joints. Apart from this, they just know some simpler tricks. With the backwards circle I'm only beginning. Nevertheless it is pure pleasure.
Thanks, Tammy, for that tip. What a great, funny and admirable presentation.
