i have seen a program called BREED ALL ABOUT IT looking at the AMERICAN BULL DOG (but they say THE BULL DOG) most of the things they show and talk about is the iron dog show/compitition

tug (tug of war with 2 x dogs)

grip (the dog has to hang all 4 feet of the floor 4 a minute holding a rope end, the more the dog pulls and wriggles the more points he gets)

hit (from a distance the dog runs at a person wearing a bite sleeve, the harder the dog hits the better)

sprint (the dogs get timed to sprint over a short distance, faster the better)

(thats what the prog said )

Hi Russ I have competed in an Irondog event earlier in the year with my American bulldog Judge. It was a great day for myself and the dog. Before the dog can enter the contest they have to past a GDT(guard dog test) which test the dogs temperment, obedience and ability to protect owner. I will also be competing with a few dogs at next years event. Check out the link
