fortnox Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Best place to purchase a custom made weightpull harness is from windchill in Victoria,i think www.windchill.com.au will get you there or go to the Vic Alaskan malamute club site.I have had several harnessses made and never had a problem (dont be put off by what at first seem to be complicated measurements).I have competed my American Bulldogs at a couple of the comps put on by the Vic malamute club,they are extremely well organized,well run and very enjoyable to participate in.Last time i went i had one of the biggest highs i have experienced with my dogs when my Lizzy won most weight pulled on the day.

Jennifer Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 Pandi, yes I've seen this site and printed off some plans. I'm trying to modify a cart i bought on ebay. Juat a small staffy sized one.Thanks for posting info!! Fortnox, that's really interesting.Can I ask if they also make a harness for cart pulling at all? Glad to hear we can purchase in australia.

fortnox Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 The mal clubs are running great weight pull comps but i think it would be awesome if we could get a dedicated weight pull comp up and running in OZ like they do in other parts of the world.I have some experience in this as i was the founding president of the Sporting American Bulldog Association if there is nation wide support i would love to help get something going.

ruthless Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I know that coming into summer probably isn't the time to be bumping this, but having seen Kowai's pics I'm feeling enthusiastic again!!! Did anyone get in touch with the NSW Mal club? I can if no one else has yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I got in touch with the Mal club... Hi, I'm interested in getting my dogs into weight pulling. Can you please send me some information? We've got a Husky, a> Staffy and a Staffy x. Is that ok, or do they need to be Malamutes? Thanks, Ruth They replied... No probs your dogs are fine to weight pull We wont have any now until next year as its getting too hot the dates will be posted on the web site & there is an info page on weight pulling We have harnesses available for you to borrow & a novice class for your dogs to learn in Yay! Let's all go and try it out :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's all go and try it out Yeah its kind of a crap time of year to start! :rolleyes: For the Victorian club theres only one more weight pull date left until next year! I can understand though - it'll be way too hot for the dogs to work over Summer You can order harnesses online at http://www.windchill.com.au/ I actually got to meet the lady who made Zach's harness from that site! The harness I got is really nice quality - I love it Though as your club says to start off you can borrow a harness. Just make sure not to use a sled harness - they're not meant for weightpulling! If you wanted to do something now though you could buy a harness offline, then attach it to a small tyre to get some practice in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
