Weight training for Terriers

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!”
