Chainman 8 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 nice dog looks like a lot of irish blood in that dog had a similar dog years ago nice dog mate what lines is he nice head on the fella Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blackstaff 488 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 It matters not about his height mate, at ACES we've had K.C dog's as small as 16 tts pulling over a 1000lb so i wouldn't worry about his height. Just remember when training him to do everything nice and gradual, and try and get yourself a harness, most places willl no longer let your dog pull in a collar. Have a look on the ACES forum, loads of stuff on here. Also thanks to Phil for putting ACES name foward £$%^&*()_)(.com/A_C_E_S/index/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chid 6,489 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 give strong stuff a pm he will be able to sort you out with a top noch harness which wont break Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Running 7 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 yes give strong stuff a shout those leather ones will break if you are weight pulling i had two break on me befor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Decent looking dog. I do indeed make harnesses that can be used for pulling/dragging ............... but ............. if you intend to compete then check first that the type I make is allowed in competition. The ones I make, are not the crappy crossover "one size fits most" type, there is a lot more work in them, as a result you'll find they fit your dog properly, not just where it touches. There are a lot of wank copies of my gear on ebay now, made in Eastern Europe, they carry no guarantee and look complete shite, but as long as they make money out of them I'm sure they don't give a shit. This is one of mine: Made to order, and only made after payment is received. Not cheap, but they take a lot of time to make. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ghostlyease 17 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Now Aaron with a little modification they would be perfect for all weight pull including the ones where you can get titles. ACES days weight pull is pretty relaxed as most weight pull days are, as long as the dog has a harness then nowt else matters, can be a walking harness for all we care (what Rhea pulled her most weight on!) in fact at the Ed Reid days you dont even have to pull on a harness, collars are fine, but if you do plan to try and get a UPF title then they do have to be very specific with the make up of the harness, spreader at the back, certain distance from the dogs back, blah, blah, loads of rules and regs for you to check up on if you plan to compete with the UPF.............. Aaron can I pinch the pic to add to the advert we have on the ACES forum please.......... Pretty please, flutter eyelashes............ OP height is no indication of breed, unless the kc papers have 5 gens of dna tests then discount them and enjoy the dog you have regardless of breeding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
