The pull last weekend went very well. It's the first one I have chaired, thankfully with Denises help, it went pretty darn well. Both days we only had a couple of dogs who didn't qualify. We had several dogs reach new personal bests which is pretty fun to see.
Grace pulled both Saturday and Sunday, Saturday she pulled 570, Sunday 516, both 10 point pulls. Peace only pulled on Sunday, but pulled better than she has in quite a while pulling 624. Siren was the family winner with a pull on Saturday of 678 and Sunday 786-both pulls earning her and David 15 points toward her UWPCH. Sundays pull was just over 30 times her body weight. If we can get the videos loaded I will post it. She is so happy working with David.
According to Darryl, Magic was not happy being left home alone Sunday. Apparently about 15 minutes after we left Darryl woke to the sound of Magic and his unique version of a howl. He got up and found Magic laying on the arm of the couch howling his soft quiet version of a howl. Its quite funny, its the quietest howl I have ever heard, but it come complete with the nose pointed to the sky and the classic aroooo just very very quiet-almost whisper quiet! Darryl invited him to join him in the bed instead.

It's just AMAZING the amount of weight they can move!
That sounds like so much fun. I haven't been to a pull in ages, and neither of my dogs are trained for it, but I keep having it in the back of my head as one more sport we should get involved in. Unfortunately, there are no pulls held closer than a 4 hour drive.
