Comment to 'Dogue finishes in top 10 at pitbull sprint event'
  • I took Juno along to a Pitbull sports event last week. They were maily doing sprints using a lure and speed weight pull. This was the first event organised by this group IPBTA (Irelands Pit Bull Terrier Association) The sprint course was only 40m (44yards ?) Idealy it should probably have been between 80 - 100m. Most dogs were only getting into their stride when they had to pull up and stop. Juno's best time over the 40m was 5.73 seconds. Not bad for a big girl. 24 dogs took part. The majority were apbt but there were a couple amstaffs and sbt, also a lurcher and border terrier. The quickest dog on the day was a pit @ 5.04 seconds There was no harness big enough for Juno to use so she didnt do the speed pull.
