Bull Breed Forum

Fancy trying my lad at weight pull so need a harness i mainley run him so i dont want lots of heavy mass muscle so my plan is a light weight say 5kg over long distance and up hills. What muscles will it work etc never done weight pull so any advise is good

Well it will make him a faster runner because it builds up new muscle groups, you know that runners do weight lifting exercises, when getting fit.....

I noticed that it made Bullseye a faster runner when I started pulling with him


Hope this helps.

So my idea of light weight but long distance is ok im not going to be compeating in wp just an another conditioning tool as such can i use a normal harness or would a proper weight pull be better he wont be pulling more than 8kg was thinking of using truck chains or my cast iron weights

Well I would use a harness with a spreader bar mate, to be honest, because the weight will all be pulled from the dog's back, whereby a wp harness the weight is a good distance from the dog, like a tow bar on a car is the best way I can explain, you would fit a tow bar to the roof of a car and then try to tow with it, because it wouldn't work and it would likely f*ck your car up too lol

Just my theory is all

But yeah drag pulling is great exercise, good way to build stamina too

How much would a weight pull harness be then i dont want an all singing job just one for a little use
