They recently had a APBT get one of the highest (or highest, I don't know the scale) schutzund certification. The Denise lady (Pit Bull Placebo writer) was trying to be the first APBT to get it so I'm sure she was upset. I contacted a schutzund group near here, the guy replied that it's virtually all german shepherds (understandable) but they've had an APBT before that did well and he gave me his cell phone num and seemed to have no problem with an APBT joining the crowd. I need to finish getting all her basic obedience down before I get into bitework though, she is fine until someone else is around, then she's too excited and isn't as prompt to following commands, but she's getting better.
You've probably seen me on pitbullforum, I haven't been to the other one.
Jizz would be awesome to hear over the intercom

If you are considering getting your dog into some sort of sport work later down the road, i'd recomend not doing too much formal obedience untill after a year old. I let my dogs get away with things that normal pet owners would cringe at. I let them bite, jump on people, and act a fool... and when they become too annoying they go back into their crate or kennel. The reason for this is that you don't want them to have "conflict" in training down the road... for example, if you correct them for jumping or biting its very possible that they will not bite with confidence later on, nor will they be confident jumping up on the decoy to bite the sleeve. All i really focus on up untill a year old are playing games that build confidence. You can also do focus excerses that teaches them to focus on you.
Its basicly the same thing that the "competition heeling" link above.

Damn evo, definitely a bully.
My APBT is just about 1yr old at 60lbs, which is the top end of the APBT weight spectrum... She's about ready for some conditioning.
You still doing weight pulls?
