We know you extensively travel with your dogs. How many states in the USA have you traveled to? I’ve traveled to shows in Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon & Washington. Any one trip stands out in your mind? Probably the first time I went out of state to Oregon show. That’s where Romeo got his ACE title. Super Sugar Bear also got his ACE in Oregon the next year. What advice would you give to somebody getting started in Weight Pulling? If I were to give advice to somebody getting started in this sport it would be to Start Light!! Keep it fun for the dog! Pick everyone’s brain for tips. We love to help get more people into the sport. To sum it all up, we love the bullies and we love the true APBT as well and working dogs.
