Canine Weight Pull…

… is a sport in which a single dog, equipped with a specially designed weight pulling/freighting harness, pulls a cart or sled loaded with weights over dirt, carpet, snow or even rails, a specified distance (16 feet) within a specified amount of time. It is a modern adaptation of a bygone era, when dogs were used as freight animals to move cargo. We are excited to partner with the World Wide Weight Pull Organization to provide weight pull matches in the Twin Cities and beyond!
