: Anyone know of a weight pulling club in Colorado
: aklatter September 14, 2005, 06:01:50 PM

Hi,
   Our Alaskan Malamute has turned 7 months old and we are looking to get him into weight pulling. I can seem to find anything in Colorado. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place if anyone knows where to look please please let me know.
Thanks so much

I don't know of any weight pulling clubs...sorry!...But I am pretty sure that your dog is too young to be pulling any weight...His bones are still developing & having him pull any kind of weight too early could damage his joints...I am interested in cart training my Pyrs...Samson turned 1 in July & I am waiting further into fall to even start him on a cart with no weight...It was reccomended to me that he not pull any weight until he is two...I think that it is something your dog will enjoy though when he is ready!...Good luck! :)
