Two year old Brass Monkey started his weight pulling career this past February at the Michigan Classic winning his class 2 out of those 3 days. He also pulled 2,700 lbs. in his first IWPA pull. He next ventured into the show ring while still pulling for points on his champion weight pull title.

In May, at the K9 Fancier's Show and Pull, he earned the Most Weight Pulled award. In June, Monkey pulled his personal best of 3,020 lbs. (carpeting). He also was one of 17 dogs who qualified at Premier for Total Dog. Monkey currently has the most weight pulled on snow in UKC, at 1,180 lbs. He also won the most weight pulled both days at that snow pull. This same weekend, he finished his conformation title making him a Total Dog.
