One of mine is and one isn’t. APBTs are actually pretty fit in the ring and people condition them just for shows. However my other breed, bull terriers tend to look like stuffed turkeys! Way to much weight on them IMO and its actually popular for this breed to be fat in the ring. Any well conditioned thinner bullies don’t ever do well in the ring. I don’t understand why people want to have such an over weight dog.

Here are some general show APBTs. As you can see they are generally conditioned. http://www.rokireds.com/brodyoct07.jpghttp://i46.tinypic.com/2bxt0w.jpghttp://d988256.u38.infinology.net/images…
So is your breed generally over weight in the ring or just about right? Post pics, I love learning about other peoples breeds and love seeing examples.
Legit: Is your dog used for work anymore? What was the original purpose? It it used for that purpose something else work wise today?
I have bully breeds used for bull baiting, dog fighting and various other purposes. Still used work general work such as hunting, SCH/PP, search and rescue etc. No longer used for the original purpose in my country.
