Weight training for Terriers

> Terrier Dogs — westie @ 6:42 pm

It’s the ultimate strength test for dogs.

The International Weight Pull Association’s Dog Weight Pull attracted dogs large and small, from far and wide.

Their mission: Pull as many bags of dog food as they could for 16 feet.

Dogs ranged from a 16-pound Jack Russell Terrier that pulled 360 pounds to a 155-pound St. Bernard that pulled 2,160 pounds.

A 2-year-old American pit bull terrier, Tar-Baby, who weighed in at 31 pounds, hauled more than 900 pounds in the weight pull.  His owner said, “It’s a good way to show the public that pit bull terriers are not just for illegal purposes, and he loves it!”

DoggySnaps aka ‘FaceBark’

Is your terrier on DoggySnaps yet?

Now dogs have got their own social networking site, nicknamed ‘FaceBark’, where dogs have their own profile, their own friends and can send their favourite dogs a treat!

The website has a serious side too. It has been created by the Dogs Trust who care for more than 14,000 dogs each year and the site contains entries from stray or abandoned animals the charity is trying to rehome.

Sounds good to me!

Have a look at my Monty
