Working Weight Pull Dogs

These dogs of ours sure love to work, so in addition to running in front of our sled or gig, we take them to weight pulls. Comet recently earned his fifth and final leg toward his weight pull excellent title (Working Weight Pull Dog Excellent) and is now known as Tarnish's Artic Streak, WTD, CGC, WWPD, WWPDX. His brother, Glacier, just finished his working weight pull title and earned his first leg toward his excellent title at the same pull. He is now Tarnish's Mountain Majestic, CGC, TT, WWPD.

Here are some pictures from a couple of weight pulls that we've attended. Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures from the most recent pull in Cleveland, Ohio, where Glacier pulled 1819 pounds for his first excellent leg, and Comet pulled 3505 pounds (!!) for his final leg on his excellent title. But we have lots of witnesses, as five dogs (all Malamutes) successfully pulled that weight!


February 14, 1998 Huntington, Indiana Panda, Sky, Zahra and Comet with Bill and Belva Kissell and Leesa Thomas. All four dogs earned a leg toward their titles.	March 22, 1998 Huntington, Indiana Leesa calling Glacier; weight on cart is 1120 pounds. Glacier didn't make this pull, but he did pull 915 pounds, which was enough for his first leg toward his title. Glacier placed fifth.

March 22, 1998 Huntington, Indiana Belva calling Sky; weight on cart is 1525 pounds. This was Sky's last successful pull that day, which finished her weight pull title. Sky placed second.	March 22, 1998 Huntington, Indiana Leesa calling Comet; weight on cart is 1320 pounds. Comet finished his WWPD championship at this pull with a final pull of 1730 pounds. Took first place.
