Amen and praise God for His grace through which we get the resolve and passion for His gospel. I truly appreciate your encouraging comments. May the Lord bless you also.
Absolutely enjoyed this video ! It was such a beautiful start reading the Word of God, I love how you have managed to be successful in all that you do and still give Our Lord His proper place amidst it all. A beautiful view and a ton of learning! Great watch !
As always, thank you brother. The Lord should be first in everything that a true Christian does. Thank you so much for always being so encouraging of my channel and it’s content . May the Lord keep blessing you brother.
Although I'm not super religious, I really appreciate the fact you stay true to your faith and principles, and spread positive words from the good book! 🙏💯... The video speaks for itself regarding maples build and structure she's phenomenal bro.. you're definitely one of the BETTER channels regarding how to keep, love, respect these dogs.. NOTHING but respect for you and how you show your dogs in the most positive way
I truly appreciate your comment. I glad that the channel is communicating all that you mentioned. I can’t take the credit for any of that. It’s all because Jesus Christ has saved me and changed me. Any good that’s in me is from Him. Be well my friend. Thanks again!!
Thank you! And congrats again on Max’s results. Do a quick video of how he looks. I’d love to see that👍. I knew he had great confirmation since he was young, when I commented on him having a really deep and low chest.
Maple's lookin' super!! Congrats on your progress! Maybe you could drop some insight as to how you determined what weight you would not drop below? I know cut off differs from dog to dog, what signs helped you determine it? Was there a drop off in performance / endurance during your known peak workout week, or a slight difference in temperament or combination thereof? Again, keep up all your hard work & efforts with the pack!
Thank you so much for the encouragement. Good question. Maple’s temperament didn’t change nor did her eagerness or determination to work extremely hard. We always want those traits to stay consistent. What can and sometimes does happen, is if we’re not keeping really good DAILY track of results, and making adjustments we can affect the power and endurance even if the dog is willing. There are 2 reasons I didn’t condition her a bit more (cut off) in order to peak her out, in addition to what I mentioned in the video about not being able to work her for 12 weeks the way I planned. 1. I didn’t have an actual conformation show. So there’s no goal set as a scheduled peak day. 2. Because we’re breeding her in June (if she stays on track with her heat cycles) I wanted to start prepping her for that, as far as rest, feed, and exercise (not conditioning). Also, weighing her was part of it but not a major factor as it would of been in a “HISTORICAL KEEP”. In that, peaking the dog at a contracted weight is the goal. Currently, when competing in conformation, the component of what the dog looks like is a major goal and should be kept in mind in order to know when to stop conditioning. This is why historical keeps can be and are super helpful for legal competition today but only partially. They share a lot of the same conditioning methods but the end goal is different. So you can’t just solely use a historical keep when competing in conformation today. You can certainly implement parts of it. One last and interesting thing to, sometimes the judge at a conformation show might of been active in dog matching in the past. He might look for a dog that would have looked physically ready for historical competition and use this a his standard. This might differ slightly from a judge that doesn’t have this past. It could be the difference between 1st & 2nd place. Long answer. Hope it answers your question.
How much time do you believe it takes on a daily basis to keep a game line pit content, healthy, and happy? Walks, variouse exercises, running, mental training, etc. Thank you for your opinion!
Yeah cause i wanna know whats the best floor for our dogs i mean the wood the dirt or the concrete cause when my dogs was kennel on concrete they have like skin problems on the elbows you know and i dont know if the products for cleaning and for the smell they can hurt ourdogs you know thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge
Good points. I’ll try to address them in the next video. I’ll try to make it and upload it really soon. Thanks again. Appreciate your interest in caring for the dogs👍
Thank you for watching and commenting. There’s no particular reason that the wood kennels are any better than metal or even cement blocks. It was just a personal preference but that’s a good suggestion for a video. Since you asked I’ll make a video in the next few days. Thanks again.
I would say it’s more of a natural genetic result. A couple months ago I intended to put her through a solid conditioning program for 12 weeks. Where I wouldn’t miss a single day but I was not able to do that due to work and other commitments. So I only worked her 3 to 4 days a week and tweaked her feed and rest. Thanks for the question and for watching.
hey how old does the dog need to be to start conditioning? my apbt is 7months now and hes at 23kg give or take, i wondering when i can start to work him to get him more lean
I would not condition a dog. While it’s still a pup. Until at least 1-1/2 years old. It’s not physically or mentally mature before that. It’s good for puppies to have some fat. What you can do is keep them active just playing around and being puppies. You can also get them used to the apparatuses that you will use to condition them later. Like treadmill‘s, carpet mill , spring pole and flirt pole or anything else. But this is just to get them familiar with the apparatus. It’s not to do any serious work at all. The name of the game in the dogs is patients. No need to rush anything. I hope this helps.
@@genuineapbt6690 it did help a lot. I was concerned With him putting too much Weight in a way that sort of deforms his body. Hes not fat but like i Said before, 26kg at 7 months when i see everywhere people talking about their apbts around that weight in adulthood. Thats why Im worried
I usually feed organ meat after work outs, like beef liver, chicken liver and gizzards. Some days I do it while the their breathing has normalized a bit but their heart rate is still a bit elevated. Because of the soft tissue of organ meats and the high acid in the dogs stomach, they begin to digest almost immediately after being consumed. Then because the heart is still beating above normal, the digested vitamins, minerals and other nutrients enter the blood stream and are spread throughout. I wait 30 minutes, then I feed a chicken quarter and some ground beef. As far as supplements, I give 1 dog multi vitamin and 1 Omega fish oil capsule 3 times a week with food.
Great looking dogs! 2:44 How much foot work did you have to put in? Miles and how many times per week? Can you also tell me how much time it took to walk the distance? Thanks.
Thank you for watching and thank you for commenting and asking the question. Not sure if your reference to the 2:44 mark is related to foot work. There I was just referencing that I would do anaerobic work with her to increase definition without dropping weight. I didn’t do a lot of roadwork with her to reach the results in the video. I believe it was just 20 minutes a day fast walking,3 times a week. That was incorporated with other things like spring pole and ball fetch at full sprint. The feed and her genetics played a major role. Thanks again.
@@genuineapbt6690I’m not sure how the 2:44 got there 😆. I just wanted to know the amount of time it took to walk her also mileage. Thanks for the reply. I have an awesome APBT with great confirmation/genes. I’m trying to get her ready for the next Adba show. She took a second place ribbon for her class at the last show and I could tell the judge had a difficult time making his decision between 1st and 2nd place. I’m going to make sure I give my girl the best chance at taking home the blue by putting in the footwork and changing her diet (temporary) Your videos are a lot of help. Thanks again and God bless you!
@@rickl3697 That’s excellent!! I hope you bring home the 1st. Remember though, if you don’t, ADBA conformation is subjective. What the judge likes plays a role in the decision. Keep competing 👍👍👍
Update: just got home from the Adba show in NJ. My girl took two 1st place ribbons for her class (sweep) on Saturday (two shows). Tomorrow we return to the ring lets see if a third judge thinks she’s good enough to place. Thanks for the videos! They have been inspirational !! 🙏🏼
@@rickl3697 Wow!! That’s super!! Big congratulations to you. So good to hear you’re putting in the time and effort with the breed. I hope you take it tomorrow. Happy for you and your great dog!! Thanks for the update.
Thank you for watching and commenting. I don’t give specifics of our bloodline on RU-vid but here is some general information in this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7ajtSNrpoBg.html
Thanks for Sharing it's nice to know what we have on the West Coast stuff on the East Coast and down South Have been easier to find out, and I am from Seattle so it's A Big City but A inconspicuous environment
'Conditioning' is GREAT providing it's done for their health and not to end up fighting, in my opinion if a human wants to fight that's their choice but raising a dog on a heavy chain to MAYBE win a few fights and make the owner lots of $$$$ is sick or liquidating them because they lack the will to fight is shameful. Having said that they both look well toned and very healthy. I actually worked for a guy about 40 years ago who had a Doberman who was chiseled as i used to take him running on the beach, etc.
Shelters and dog rehabilitation have very little if anything at all to do with genuine American Pit Bull Terriers. I believe in having and stating a difference of opinion but not at the cost of facts and accurate statements. So if you want to engage in further dialogue, let’s start out with 2 topics. 1. Concisely and accurately state a factual correlation between “dogs at a shelter” “that you rehab”and game bred APBT’s that are registered with the governing municipality as show quality dogs and are dual registered with professional and established BREED SPECIFIC registries. On top of that, our dogs are bred under great planning and scrutiny of Sire & Dam to ensure breed standards, and desired traits. Then sold at a premium by a breeder who has an intense vetting process to assure owner commitment, and proper suitability, not just to a dog but to this breed. 2. How long have you been around dogs? I have been an owner of THIS BREED since 1978. They have been part of my life and my family’s life since then and much before I was born. My father owned them since he was 12 and he was born in 1911. One last thing to consider if you expect a reply, leave your emotions at the door. They don’t matter. They are subjective and only apply to you. Bring FACTS!! I doubt you’ll reply but I’ll leave your comment up anyway so others can see what’s what.
@@robertkezer3665 Well, that’s what I thought. A lot of people think they know but simply can’t validate their comments when asked to. Your always welcomed to comment on my channel but know that I will not allow anyone who loves the APBT to be misinformed by someone who lacks wisdom in THE BREED.
