Pits are amazing animals as are most good terriers.
In his prime, my now 10yr old, blind in one eye, 13 lb JRT could jump on top of a six ft brick wall from a sitting position. He didn't run up it, he just jumped on top.
He's only good for about 4 ft now.

Wow! :eek:

Ya know, to another kind of jump.......I was reading an article a couple days ago about long jumps (after reading a post in another section of this forum), and came across this:

Great article. It talked about one of my pet peeves. People training their dogs at full height WAY to much. NOT necessary!
