I would never and have never allowed my children to ride my dogs.   

However when thinking of the weight factor these dogs are carrying a dog who earns a backpack/hiking patch has to carry 30% of their own body weight. For a full grown Dane that could be 46 lbs a Saint or Mastiff far more.

The thing is though, backpacks are made with weight distrobution in mind.  They even tell you how to pack the bags.  Kids aren't evenly distributed :P

I saw that too.  I don't know any jockeys that ride laying flat on their horses though...  ;)

And in regards to the bites, just look at how miserable at least 80% of those dogs are. :'(

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am apalled that you think riding a dog is 'cute' in any way, fashion, or form.
It stresses the dogs, physically, mentally, and behaviorally.
Sorry BPO people, but I don't find anything about this site to be amusimg.
It degrades the work that we put into our animals to make them acceptable to the people who wish to pass laws against our 'Big Dogs"!
How to Ride  a Dog is an ignorant statement, by an ignorant individual.
That's my Rant!
John

Peopel need to be made aware that riding dogs is very bad for a dogs spine and hips.Dogs were not bred to be "beasts of burden". If someone wants to ride something get a toy horse or buy a real horse or pony or go to someones house to borrow one for the ride. Don't damage a dogs spine or dislocate it's hips and cause it pain.

WHAT is wrong with you people? Do you have any idea the damage you can do to a dog by riding it? This is the most ignorant thing I have ever seen, anyone considering doing this should be ashamed of themselves.

Hey "swimmindude" I find it amazing that you would ask people to "butt" out when the actually the ASPCA should be noyified about this. This is inhumane and cruelty to animals and ALL people should be in this. To prevent people like you and this idiot who started this web sight to be stopped!!!! I also find it amazing how all the negative feedback this web sight has gotten has been deleted!!!! I will personally checking into this with your local ASPCA.

The practice of dog riding is harmful to the dog both to it's physical health & to his/her mental well being...becuas e of these two facts it is just asking for a dog to bite that might not otherwise...I urge you to stop encouraging this ignorance

And I just sent an e-mail to Southen Rock Kennels asking them to abandon the link to this website.
Sometimes an 'old dawg' just needs a good fight to make the juices flow again!

My addition:  Since you deleted my first message, I'll try again. Dogs are not a circus sideshow for your cruel amusement. Get a life and stop promoting this cruelty now!!!

they deleted my first message but lets keep bugging them!!!

That website is the antithesis of everything we are striving to do to make our dogs 'acceptable'.
NO! You can't ride my dog!
They become 'Snappy', angry and aggressive toward the little skin kids, who generaly are trusting and loving, and I won't stand for that.
I worked too hard to get my dog to be loved on by kids.
Tulsa thrives on the little ones attention now.
She used to be very aloof, and would turn away.
Now she walks right upand checks their 'registration',
and lets them love on her.
I'm a Happy Dad!

This is upsetting.  I just left a message in the guestbook at that site about how awful riding a dog is and about how he deletes all negative comments.  I'm sure my message will not be there tomorrow.  I'm looking at Sonny now thinking how horrified he would be if this happened to him.
