 A HUGE THANKS to all who came out on Saturday, July 23rd for the Weight Pull Demo Event at the Reliant Dog Show!! It was our third year hosting the event and it was one of our most successful ones! There were 23 dogs who participated and there was a lot of people watching! Congrats to all the dogs and their handlers for a great event!! We had two rescue Mastiffs participate for the first time and it was funny as it seemed we had to wake them up for each of their pulls, but they did great!! And a special congratulations to Renee and her girl, Vida (Rottweiler) as she pulled the 3rd highest weight overall (1255lbs) on her first weight pull event!!
CONGRATULATIONS to Rocky and his boy, ROMEO (Mastiff) who pulled the Most Weight (1817.5 lbs) in 9.18 seconds!! Impressive!!! In addition, CONGRATULATIONS to Phillip and his boy, PUNISHER (American Staffordshire Terrier) who won Highest Body Weight Percentage at 20.15%!! WOW!!!!
The pictures are available for viewing and purchase (all purchases benefit TAMR); and videos are available for viewing (NOTE: not all pulls are avaiable due to battery life). Big thanks to Arie Moghaddam for generously volunteering his time and talent for taking these pictures, and Cristina Wall for taking videos!
