Oklahoma Connection

WELCOME TO A NEW ERA OF A.P.B.T's
Weight pull dogs with conformation looks
Located in the countryside of central Oklahoma, our dogs enjoy acres of room to run and play, as well as taking an occasional swim in the pond. We have lots of passion for the breed and take pride in producing quality A.P.B.T's with a sound temperament and an outstanding body structure. These dogs have the ability to excel in conformation as well as the sports of weight pull and obedience. We are here to better the breed and to fight "Breed Specific Legislation". For all those that support us we thank you for visiting our website and hope that you enjoy it!
What is a Weight Pull Title, Anyway?
Not just a brag, not just a stepping stone to a higher title, to just andjunct to competitive scores, a title is a tribute to the dog that bears it, way to honor the dog, and ultimate memorial. It will remain, in record and in memory, for as long as anything in this world can remain. Few humans will do as well or better in that regard.
And though the dog itself doesn't know or care that its achievements have been noted, a title says many things in the world of humans, where such things count.
A title says your dog was intelligent, and adaptable, and good-natured. It says that your dog loved you enough to do things that please you, however crazy they may have sometimes seemed.
And a title says that you loved your dog, that you loved to spend time with it because it was a good dog, that you believed in it enough to give it yet another chance when it failed, and that, in the end, your faith was justified.
A title proved that your dog inspired you to that special relationship enjoyed by so few; that, in a world of disposable creatures, this dog with a title was greatly loved, and loved greatly in return.
And when that dear, short life is over, the title remains as a memorial of the finest kind, the best you can give to a deserving friend, volumes of praise in one small set of intials before the dog's name.
A weight pull title is nothing less than love and respect, given and received and permanently recorded.
What Animal Do I Speak Of?
Their love is like no other; their heart is pure as gold.
Yet while going on a friendly walk, they're faced with stares of cold.
They're so very close to human, in how they act and what they do.
Unless you've known their devoted love, it's impossible to explain to you.
They are greatly more misunderstood, than any other breed.
We tend to punish this loyal dog, instead of mankind's deeds.
They are always and forever clowns, with a wish for center stage.
Yet while displaying this sense of humor, most people disengage.
They, oh, so want to make new friends, and run and jump and play.
Yet when they happily approach, most people shy away.
Often I've seen children poke, or hop on for a ride.
And when I felt they might get mad, they've only beamed with pride.
I've seen these children yank and pull, with nary a reaction.
Yet media's not interested, unless they've put someone in traction.
They love to snuggle up real close, to give lots of loves and kisses.
Yet they suffer more than any, from unfair prejudices.
What animal do I speak of, whose love is so unique?
If you've truly known one, you know of whom I speak.
There is no creature on this earth who will ever make you merrier.
The animal I do speak of, it's the American Pit Bull Terrier.
