hi, i have a young 12month old bitch pup that i hope to compare with other's in tug o war (private meet). i would be happy to put money down on the out-come just to spice things up a bit. i would be willing to match her lb for lb with an acceptance of a lb either way. i think she will be about 32-34lb when fully matured. i will have to wait until she is about 18 months before making a match but just want to know if there are other's interested in this???  Of course referee would have to be agreeable to both parties. |

what dogs you got mate and what weight? maybe we could set up some matches and get a bit of sport going. my bitch is a bit young at the moment but i'd be more than willing to help get some other matches going as a referee or what ever. hopefully in about six months my own bitch will be ready.

i have two olde tyme staffords, a big male who is a good dog but shows no desire to hold on to anything and a young 12 month old bitch who loves to work the spring pole which is a good way of starting them for tug o war. by the time she is 18 months she will be "up for it" and i will be ready with my £££££££. do you have an idea how much your bitch would weigh fit? keep in touch and maybe we can get something on or if their not the same weight, others may want some action. just put up on here what your bitch weighs and what area and see if there any takers. |

might be a good idea to put up location as its unlikely that many will be willing to travel that far due to fuel prices i.e. something like, male staff, 48lbs, london, willing to travel up to 50 miles, anything from £50 to £100 a-side.

there would need to be a contract drawn up by both parties and stake money posted to a trusted stakeholder/ referee at least 8 weeks before match, explanation: nobody wants to train for six weeks only to turn up and find the other party hasn't bothered to turn up. if one party doesn't turn up then the stakeholder would automatically turn over the full stake money to the party that has turned up. referee would also choose place of match as no ref is going to want to pay travel expenses.
