Hi Jenny, I've done a bit of WP with my dogs but will be competing with them in 2006. It is really getting popular and I know people all over the country getting involved with any breeds of dog.

hi my huskies used to do weight pulling,but werent that good at it.But they tried their best bless them& won prizes& a rosette each.

Hi there Jenny, I must say I love the look of your dog, what is the weight range for that breed?
Mostly all the bulldog shows I go to do weight pull events. I've been wanting to begin pulling for some time now, hopefully we will get started soon. I am looking for a pull cart if anyone can direct me that would be great. I would like to start having the dogs pull the 50 lbs sacks of dog food from the kennel to the house, its wearing me out!

My dog weight pulls, have been to a couple of the wp events up north run by the UPF run by Steve and Ellie Owen.

Also Andy & Nikkie James run the BWPA which run alongside there conformation shows. They hold training days every weekend at a leisure centre in Derbyshire, any breed of dog can go and have ago.

Looks a strange thing to do, do the dogs enjoy it? What is the end product or is it a betting sport?
