Jumping Dogs: Champion Pit Bull Can Leap Up Four Metre Walls

Canine catapult Antara is Mexico’s Grand Champion of Vertical Wall climbing - defying gravity to run up walls and trees. Owner Rafael Caraveo Saldivar, 34, has been training his prize-winning American Pitbull for a year and a half until she recently broke the Mexican record. Rafael trains the three-year-old two hours each day, five days a week at his home in Comalcalco, Mexico. The athletic dog takes part in the canine version of the Olympics during which pitbulls show off their speed, strength and agility. As well as the vertical climb dogs compete to see who can hang from a bar the longest, run on treadmills the fastest and pull weighed sleds.
