At 8pm Eastern time. Ceaser is going to work with a Pit Bull. I want to
see that. Those dogs interest me yet I have a pretty good fear of them.


The Segway (sp?) Said a Pit Bull can pull 30 times their own weight. Is
that true?

I thought I heard 3 times his weight,


3x is not a big deal. a ~50 lb. mixed-breed dog in Alaska
pulled 2450 pounds a few years ago. Pit bulls do very, very
well in weight pulls and I would definitely expect something
on the order of 10x for a middling-successful weight pulling
pit and a lot more for a very successful one.
