Isn't that the APBR site? The one that is a sham registry for bybs? What I would do is stick with the ADBA. I know you said one club was about 3.5 hours. You are just getting info though, so you can call them. You could go to a meeting, or maybe you should just go to a show there are always people there willing to help. And if you are going to be pulling your dogs your going to be travelling all over the country to shows anyway. What kind of info do you want? Maybe we can find some online sites with weight pull info.

ok I will try to dig up some training sites for you. Everyone trains a little different, also different things work on different dogs. And people have their own way. But I will try to find a few sites with the basics of weight pull training to give you an idea. The younger you can start them out is usually better.

the pups i wanna train are 6 months and 12 wks kya (the oldest) weighs
54lbs and sable (the puppy) weighs 32lbs (shes gonna be a big girl) if that helps any
my boy cassius is too dog aggressive to do weight pull (hes a big bully)

Well damn she is going to be big, but what about that male he's going to be huge as well, 54lbs already and only 6 months old.

Here is a pretty good link hope it helps, I'm sure there are many more, well I know there are at least a few but this one covers everything nicely.

actually the one who weighs 54lbs is a girl too I have three girls and a boy my boy
cassius is 3years old he weighs 96lbs but he's very dog aggressive so i can't really put him in weight pull

sasha is 2 she weighs 72lbs but shes pregnant so she's just gonna be getting spoild

kya is 6months she and weighs 54lbs

sable is 12 wks and weighs 32 lbs

there all big babys though but anyway thanks so much for the link it was very helpful Surprised

Oh sorry, for some reason I got that she was a he...sorry. So they are all pretty huge dogs. I have one like that, dog aggressive, is a good puller too but just too much aggressive which really messes him up. He pulls fine, but at a show there is going to be a lot of dogs so think we are outta luck. One time I made the mistake of trying to pull him while a friend had their dog in sight near the track waiting his turn and mine flew off the track and almost took the cart with him!!! So you're not going to pull Sasha? They are all ADBA? Where did you get them, what bloodlines? I think you should have pretty good luck with the 2 younger ones, since they are both pups they should be easily trained and ready by the time they are old enough to pull. You can also check out APA pull shows. Your welcome, glad I could offer some help.

yea their all adba cassius and sasha are boudreaux and chevy red I got them from a local breeder kya's bloodline consists of watchdog and mealers I got her from joe babe at get off the porch kennels her mom is jazmyn and her dad is mealers blue boy
sable came from mealers pitbull farm I havnt got her pedigree back yet so I dont know her exact bloodline yet but you can check out his web site her mom is bloody mary and her dad is cowboy
but yea kya and sable are the only ones I would like to pull sasha's already 2 and shes pregnant plus shes a big slobbery hyper mess shes really sweet with every person and dog she meets but shes very hyper i dont think she would have the patients for weight pull

lol

ok the mastiff blood really explains the size. even if mixed with the bordeaux blood you will still get big dogs. Sometimes the ADBA takes forever to get your pedigrees and paperwork back to you. Even with a rush its sometimes late. If I remember mealers is one of those blue fad breeders so its probably a blue line of dogs or scatterbred.
