Did I just hear 1,400 lbs.? WOW. The first Husky my family had was a large 80 lb. Quebec Husky, and now I have a 50 lb. girl (Alaskan Husky). I'd love to take her out to a pull like this, even though I know this is a freight dog's event really. Btw, with all of the racing dog events, it's also great to see the freighters get their due as well!
@Aphexnexus I haven't seen any team pulls here, and it looks like (from the website) the local freight dog folks don't do them. I'd LOVE to see a team pull.
@mossystangle Gotcha. I think it would be fun to pair up some of my boys for a team pull... I just have yet to see anyone host them. Would definitely need a lot of weight on hand, though...
i love malamutes,great work drive..i never had a actuall weight pull harness so i never had my dog pull over about 400ibs, an alaskan malamute/ german shepherd mix female 106ibs..my newfie mix did less, i`m getting a rottie,and will get a real harness for him tho,and earlier training..my mal,she was allready like 4 yrs old when i started training, wich is not good

@mossytangle, Where do they still host team pulls? I haven't seen any in years... but would love to attend one if there are clubs still hosting them.

Do they do this as in who pulls most or do they have weight classes for the dogs?

@Brutalnemisis : They have weight classes for the dogs, and team-pulls for two dogs together.

If you can't find out just try starting off low and work your way up but don't strain your dog too much =)

That's cool. I've never seen a snow pull. (Just too far south, I guess.)
