    Exercising your dog.

    My Pit and I tried something new today. Instead of our usual walk, I grabbed my daughters little BMX bike and off we went down the street. I had images of this being a tangled mess of bicycle and leash but he did extremely well for his first time. No mishaps or spills. I used his pulling harness and a 6 foot leash and he just pulled me across the neighborhood like it was nuthin. When we got back to the corner he was still ready to go so we went the half mile down to the store and back. I'd say we were going at least 15-20 miles an hour at full run and then he would slow down a bit like he was cooling down and then he would pick up the pace again all by himself. I barely had to pedal. It was great and I was smiling and lau***ng the whole way. It was much better than the usual boring walk. Def need a bigger bike with a foot brake though. Maybe it's time for a treadmill too.

    Here's Mojo with his new harness. I wasn't sure how long to run him but I guess it was long enough cause he's wiped out now.

    If you don't know how to skate I bet it's even a better time!

    Yeah no. No skateboards for me. I used to roller blade but the point here is the dog is doing the work. I have to get it on video.

    I have a Renasance Bulldog which basicly looks like a Pitbull if you mixed it with an english bulldog.

    He's only 12 weeks now, but I'm going to have him pull me on a quad in nutral when he gets some size on him. I know some people like to use a tire with concrete and have them drag that around also.

    Do you have a spring pole for your guy yet?

    Nice looking dog too!

    Thanks for the compliments guys. I built him a spring pole in the backyard with a garage door spring, rope and chain. I tried everything to get him interested but he wants nothing to do with it. He loves to play tug with me though. I can swing him around in circles but I pulled my back out that way. He also has a couple full size motorcycle tires that he likes playing with but I think he liked the idea of pulling me on the bike cause I was right there with him. He's very attached to me. I was thinking about finding a sled pull competition and see how he does with that. He's kinda tall so I'm not sure how he would do with a higher center of gravity.

    What's that a Chinchilla? Looks like a dog, only smaller. Just kidding bro. Yeah little dogs are guaranteed to attract women. They're easier to take care of too and they don't destroy your house. Not too mention eat less, live longer, etc.

    My mother's dog is over 80lbs. She's larger than most male bulldogs and strong as hell too.

    My guy should get to about 80lbs, they generally are larger than Enghlish Bulldogs. Low to the ground, big chest, short snout, developed shoulders and a tappered waist. His Dad was really big and his Grandfather was 105lbs.

    I'm starting him on a raw diet to make sure he gets as big as genetic potential will allow him.
