Seen this and thought it looks massive! But going by the measurements its not much different from Bailey! A few inches here and there haha! Is it just the camera/angle that makes it look bigger? Bailey is 17-18" to the withers, 16.5" neck, 18" head that dog in the video looks double the size

Wow i've just measured harv's head out of interest

He's 17" tall
19" neck
20" head!

Didn't realise he had such a big head! haha but that dog is gorgeous lovely and conditioned!

Yeah I knew baileys height and neck size but was pretty shocked at his head strange thinking his head is the same measurement as his height haha

I love the condition of the dog in the video! Would love to get Bailey like that, when he's of age for conditioning of course! But i just don't think the dimensions of that dog match the measurements given if you get me lol, looks a lot bigger than 18" withers and neck size n stuff!

Hmmm does look a LOT bigger! Harv i've started slowly conditioning (and chance) and would love to get them to that sort of condition! gorgeous dog

Harv and Chance look in really good condition just now lol! What conditioning are you doing with them?

I go jogging with them every night, they are attached to a walking belt so they pull me along as well as the running, obviously walking! and on sunday they are starting weight pulling too

And then lots of tug games and making them really working at it and so on!

I've started jogging with Bailey but just taking it easy as he's only a year old on Saturday! Just wee 5minute jogs every couple of days! Will up the jogs as he gets older though Was going to start him on a bit of weight pulling just for fun aswell when he's older.

Yer i waited until harv was at least 18 months before we started anything really so we do a 3 ish mile jog a night but the fact they pull my weight along it's a harder run for them

What a beautifull dog ... those stat's dont look right to me tho ... but hey who cares when he looks like that

This is Max's current condition, tho he will put a couple pounds on for the winter

Yer i don't think the stats are right

He's looking good Andy

Not great to show him off but this is where harv was at about 4 months ago


I need to get updated photos!

Yeah I'd love to see him now ... he looks a beaut there

Well i'll take a load of new photos when i get the collars and that

Ok, managed to keep Max still just long enough to get his stat's

just under 26 mths old:

18" to withers
19" neck
20" head
20.25kg (45lbs) .. with no fat

The pit in the video has 1.5" bigger head, and is 25pounds heavier than Max !!!!

i think it look ugly

Well done for getting him to stand still! How on earth did you manage it

Bailey is 17-18" to withers
17" neck
18.5" head and unsure on weight, I'd have to guess 20-22 but I'm more inclined to say about 20ish lol!

Not entirely sure how I did it mate .. but I new I only had a small window of oppertunity and took it .. tho I measured his neck earlier so I could order his new collar

Has anyone else ever noticed the differance in muscle between a conditioned APBT and a conditioned staffy ?

There are (to my knowledge) only two breeds that have the slab of muscle on the sides of the rib cage like in the OP video ... and thats pits and bullies ... even very lean staffys dont seem to have it .. I seem to remember reading somewhere about it being no coincidence that the APBT has muscle protecting vital organs like the heart .. which makes sense, but havent seen it on any staffy I dont think

Max is very similar to harv looking at the stats but a little bit older haha

Yeah he is actually ... the other stat I was gonna try was his tiny waste, but thought if the tape goes round his "old chap" aswell .. you'd all think he's a bloater

I actually did all of harvs stats for another site one min i'll find them

weight - 23kg
height - 47cm
length - 59cm
girth (behind front legs) - 75cm
waist (behind ribs) - 54cm

I'm sure I read somewhere to get the muscle over the ribs the dog needs to pull weights, could be totally wrong though lol!

Some APBT's definitely look like they have muscles on top of muscles lol.

that must of took a lot of work - amazing ... don't think Taz will ever look like that though - wouldn't want her too though... she's a pet not a show piece ..

Pretty sure that dog is on some of those supplements, those muscles don't look like they come from conditioning alone. I'm not a fan of overly muscled dogs.

After reading this thread, I've realized Saxon is a lot smaller than all of your dogs! Saxon's 16" at the withers, 14" neck, 18" head and weighs 38 lbs (17kg). He's strong and has good muscle tone, but he's certainly not ripped like the dog in this video, and I don't want him to be.

Think that dog should be renamed arnold lol . Measurements wise mabey not much bigger than your avrage bully but the muscle definition is unreal. Steroids! Caugh caugh lol
