Weight Pull dogs in South Africa

I am interested in how much weight the dogs in the USA are pulling compared to the dogs in south africa

We have a couoke of dogs here pulling between 5 and 5.5 tons
Is this good or bad?

I have never been into weight pulling dogs so dont take my ignorance regarding them as fact...but I heard of a dog named Red Chevy that could pull like 15000lbs on rails for just working weight...that wasnt his max weight.....he was huge though I think like 105lbs ..I dont know how true this is but thats like 7.5 tons...

 

I saw Chevy pull on TV once....I believe he was 95lbs and he pulled 5000 lbs on a wheeled cart in dirt....

 

Imagine if it were on rails JEEZ...

 

nice looking dog to....stuck in my mind because the owner stood behind him instead of in front for the pull.

 

He loved to pull, I only saw him in person once, but he wasnt pulling, he was a beast, and a pullin machine, I even heard once from the owner ...He ran across a guy who was stuck in the mud off the road by a creek and he couldnt pull him out with his car, so he tied Chevy up to it and he promptly pulled the guys Full Size Dodge Van out of the ditch and mud, I guess the guy was a amazed. I would be. Dodge Vans weighed more than Chevy or Ford Vans too, Heavier frames, more respectable for a dog to pull out of the mud...lol.

 

anyone have link to pics of him or anything????? i would like to see a dog pulling 15000, thats incredible

Thats one big dog.Sure he had no problem pulling that weight.

 

The 11000 pounds was probaly in the dirt too...lol.

 

Here is another big weight puller. A/A111 Kunze's Big Mac Daddy. Out of the same dogs as Chevy. Big Mac had a 10,000 pound pull.

So Theres a couple of 5 tonners for ya there too, So Id say your dogs are doing good, you should come here and compete if they are really pulling that much. You might win a trophy.

 

Whats the weight pulled to weight ratio.....to me thats more impressive than overall weight pulled.

 

Lets just say Chevy weighed 105, instead of 106 and pulled 11500, that is a ratio equal to every pound of his body pulling 109.5lbs. 1lb:109.5lbs... Thats amazing.

 

Amazing What These D0gs Are Capable Of Pulling. Is There A Record For Most Weight Pulled That You Guys Might Know Of?

 

We've been pulling dogs for almost 20yrs now....the most weight we have ever saw pulled was in Muskogee Ok, a dog named Eddingtons' IKanPullMore weighed in around 86lbs and pulled just over 11,500lbs on rails. That was in the mid 90's.
Now we have also seen 35lbers (Wilhe, Kanshee) pull OVER 230+ x's their bodyweight at Nats in Tennessee.

 

Back from South Africa with Love

Cool i found my weight converter cause we use kilograms this side of the world
Our dogs weigh in between 74 and 80 pounds (34 to 38kg)
Pulling about 12125.42 pounds which is about 5.5 tons (current record)

Yes we are pulling on rails, in fact we use rails to weight the trolley/cart

Dogs pulling about 5.5 tons are baited:p
"GOOD" Command pulling dogs average between 9920.8 and 11023 pounds

We have 1 year old female that pulled 9920.8 last month
Males from our bloodline pull around 8818.49 pounds at 6 months

Most of the people bait their dogs(good or bad?)
The South African championships are on the 3rd of September so should be impressive as all the guys are training their dogz
Will keep you guyz posted

have a look at www.pbfsa.co.za

How do we compare?

How do i post pics and media clips so i can show you guys?
