Does anyone draft with their dogs?

I met some pyranese for the second time in person today and I want some around the farm when I grow up these ones were very well socialized ! and beautiful !

I don't draft with mine but I do have a hook up on my bike called a "walky dog" and she runs next to my bike pulling it along, she loves it! (she's a husky mix)

I don't do it, but there was a demonstration at our National Specialty (Siberian Husky) and it was amazing! I just found out that the training center where I bring my dogs for obedience and show handling classes now offers Freestyle. I was thinking of trying it out because it looks like so much fun!

OK Im coming out of the closet here.
People on BYC only know me as having poultry. BUT.... My animal life started with my dogs.
See my web site and check out the Freestyle page.

Sorry it took me a few days to get back to this! We had unexpected houseguests due to the wonderful New England weather, and as we were one of the few households who had both electricity and backup heat, our NH friends all came over.

Pics of my Pyr:

He draws the line at carting with faux reindeer antlers strapped to his head. He sat down and refused to move, otherwise I'd have a very seasonal picture.

When I was younger I tried getting my daschound to pull stuff...it didn't go well...

...it was a skateboard don't freak on me! But we have a pyrenes cross that has feet that a clydsdale would be impressed with...I am thinking I need a cart! That would make summer trips to the grocery store lots more interesting...if I did it with my stupid lab we would have stuff all over the place everytime we saw a cat or birdie or....he is old and still ADD

I can never get my dog to draft anything useful. I've tried getting her to use rulers. I've shown her Auto-Cad. But in the end, she just keeps drawing these abstract images of bones and tennis balls. I guess she'll never be a drafter.

Now, maybe if you'd used the Auto-CAT program, you'd have held her attention...
