In the FIAPBT we preferred not to
place our credit inside the historical pictures, since we considered that it is
a way to spoil it, diminishing the fan enjoying and would damage to an
historical value, which is patrimony and
inheritance of the own breed.

MARATHONPIT
The MARATHONPIT is a modality derived from mushing
(shot of sleigh with dogs). The MarathonPit is a work-sport discipline
that consist of running with a APBT tied to the waist with a scaling belt and
an elastic firing line that goes until the harness of the animal.
In order to practice it, a harness is only needed shot
for the dog (they are not valid those of stroll nor those of drag weight), an
elastic firing line and a belt of scaling for the runner, this belt is the more
wide to protect the back of the runner of the pulls of the dog.
You can make MarathonPIt to compete or simply
practicing it like sport in which to share time and experiences with your
companion, for to consolidate your relation. The ideal is to go to the
field to train, but if it is not possible, also it is possible to be practiced
in a park in the city.
The binomial man-APBT makes this sport specially
attractive, that only the one that practices it can describe.
