I plan to drive my whole dog truck, so I'll have plenty of room for everyone! Will this be inside or out?

Inside and out depending on the weather. we will have the actuall cart inside. and will have about a thousand pounds sitting outside the building door. so we should be set for the first few weeks. if the weather is not to bad we may even move the cart outside and practice. we will see how it goes. I am getting really excited!! this will be alot of fun especially since its mostly all UAD people that we already know. Wow you have alot of dogs are they pretty much the same size??

Well I'm going to bring my team of sled dogs. I've done wp with my leader, Kuz, before. He pulled 185 right out of the chute.....but I wasn't sure how much was normal for a dog of his size (around 60lbs) so I didn't let him go again. Most of mine are from about 40lbs to high 60's. Not sure if everyone will enjoy it, but if a few of them like it then I'll keep bringing them back. I might bring my UAD dogs...the lab and coonhound. I've done wp with the lab (86lbs) and he pulled 300lbs....but I don't like him pulling because he has a bad ankle, so if I bring him it will just be to mess around with a light weight and have fun. I think most of my sibes will really enjoy it (5 of them....number 6 is pretty much retired from work) and if it's alright I'll bring my two Alaskan boys.....they probably wont have the manners OR the patience for it, but it will be good a good enviroment for them to meet new dogs. My sibes, as a team, can walk away with an ATV in neutral while I ride it.....they're plenty strong, just not sure what they'll think about only pulling for 16 feet lol. They're used to upwards of 6 miles, so I think they'll be confused for a while! Ultimate Air Elation

I have one harness that fits mostly everyone....except for the little squirt (my 40lb female)

Hi Heather,
can you please contact me at Mushnmom1@aol.com or call me on my cell phone 419 206-1111. I didnt get a chance to share numbers and contact info with you before you left the pull last weekend. I would love to see if we can get a club formed and get some pulls going on this side of the state!!
Thanks, and look forward to working with you.
