Dozens of pit bulls, some rescued from all across the country, showed their talents Saturday at a dog show in Milton.

Volunteer Sharon Sweigart said the event is full of competition.

She said, “They use their skills that they are made for, they are part of going what they are supposed to do.”

The weight pull is one of dozens of contest the dogs participated in.

One dog in the talent show pulled over 1,025 pounds.

There was also a junior handler contest and the treadmill competition.

Sweigart said, “Dogs get on there. We don’t coax them to run. We don’t use food. None of the dogs are made to do anything. It’s what they want to do.”

The association said the dog show is to promote good pit bull ownership and show that not all pit bulls are bad.

The Volunteer State Bulldoggers Association invites the public to attend the dog show.

They take place the first Saturday of every month.
