LOL Matt,,,

FYI Bubbles... SBT in blue harness pulls anywhere from 1900-2100 pounds on wheels. She will pull even high wt on Rail system. Not too bad for a senior citizen... My dogs train weekly in wt pulling...... Proper fitting harness is a must!

its just amazing how much weight dogs can pull

by Kel Wed Jan 30, 2008 11:13 pm

Yup, pound per pound, they can pull more than any other animal.

Matt, the car pulling thing isn't unheard of at all, actually. Just kidding!

A lot of sled teams will strip down cars and have the team pull them around. Heck, I've also heard of some teams using non-stripped down cars.

Melissa, I noticed you have Alley and Bubbles hooked up together there... are there any team wpulls in your area, or was that just for the pic? I see them from time to time, but they are basically scarce around here.

Kel it was just a photo op...... Alley just started her pulling She has earned two legs towards her UWP. We Should have her 3rd leg to her UWP in 2 weeks. Bubbles and another dog named Lily battle it out for Most Weight Pulled per pound. We have become good enough friends that she will take it one day (MWPP) and Bubbles will take it the other.......

I need to go to some snow pulls in to get my next titles.... My friend is going to Washington in 3 weeks for a snow pull.... maybe next year.

Ah, cool. Yeah, I have a few friends like that in other sports. One event it goes to one dog, the next to the other. Go figure. Sweet!

Actually, come to think of it, Bazooka Joe and Jack Tar kind of have the same thing going in dockjumping. Lol.

Bazooka Joe???? SBT? Bubbles Great Grandpa is Bazooka Joe from Texas.

Hmm... well, that's a coincidence. The Bazooka Joe I was talking about though is Heather and Anna's American Bulldog. He also does wpull, in addition to dockjumping.
