Canine weight pulling is a sport in which a single dog, equipped with a specially designed weight pulling/ freighting harness, pulls a load a specified distance within a specified amount of time.

A horse can easily pull a wheeled vehicle that is six (6) times his own weight, however most carriage horses are used at only 25% of that capacity.

Again, it depends! With conditioning, many dogs pull many times their weight for long distances. The average 40 lb dog can pull a 150 - 200 lb person on a scooter or bike.

Weight pulling harnesses can be obtained from a variety of sources. Some experienced handlers make their own, but most purchase them from a working dog outfitter of some sort. People in southern Wisconsin, can obtain a good harness at Mounds Pet Food Warehouse. Take your dog a long and have him fitted

A pull through is a piece of equipment necessary for the correct maintenance of a rifle. It is a weight connected to a strong cord with a loop at the end of the cord. The weight is dropped down the barrel of the rifle from the breech end. A piece of oiled cloth (fourby) is inserted in the loop and pulled through the rifle several times to clean and oil the barrel.

Dogs will be turned away who are under one year of age, are not up to date on vaccines, do not have proof of rabies vaccine, are in heat, are pregnant, or are considered to be vicious (which is always based on individual dog and not breed characteristics or reputation).

The weight pull harness is specially designed to disperse the tension of pulling large loads over a larger area of the dog. Its criss-cross styling and tension bar, which goes behind the dog, under the tail, greatly reduce the possibility of injury to the dog. The padded v-neck of the collar area pulls the harness down away from the dog's throat allowing him to breath freely while competing.

Canine Parvo virus is a very contagious virus that generally infects young puppies but can occur in dogs of any age. It has no known origin.

The current explanation goes that it was inspired by Shakespeare's "Hamlet". Prince Hamlet swore vengeance on King Claudius for murdering his father, the former King, and then marrying his mother, still Queen. Hamlet's famous Soliloquy was the passage in which the conflict in Hamlet's mind is detailed, and the second verse of "Pull Me Under" coincides pretty thoroughly with it.

TSAMC welcomes all breeds (registered or not) and mixed breeds of dogs to compete at weight pull competitions.

Canine osteoarthritis is a common cause of joint failure with stiffness, loss of mobility and varying degrees of inflammation and pain. It is commonly caused by joint instability due to slack/lax ligaments; it can also result from strains, direct or indirect injury and from faulty bone and cartilage development. Less efficient repair process in the older animal makes age a contributing factor, and the condition may be exacerbated by obesity and/or overexertion.
