You'd be suprized how difficult to hold onto a muscled up 60-65 lb little girl can be especially when you are putting a decoy in front of them. MY DOGS...MY RULES

This is they type of thing that causes me to pause just a bit and reconsider my skijor/bikejor plans for Kenzi. She already pulled me over once. She is only 35#. I'm not sure I want her to build any more muscle and endurance K-9 Knitter

Lauren Jeffery Webboard User Reg: 01-16-2010 Posts: 1389 Loc: Offline	Oh, the endurance! Ive had to slow down on having Tash carry weight in her backpack. Within two weeks she put on about three inches in her chest and shoulders. That was with only one to six pounds in the pack, and being careful to vary the length of time she wears it. Im still convinced that the backpack is the greatest thing ever, but it was amazing to see the physical change in such a short amount of time. I was thinking about starting bikejoring this spring and summer, with the hope of skijoring next winter. You got me rethinking the plan, Mara!

Jenny Arntzen Webboard User Reg: 12-06-2010 Posts: 721 Loc: British Columbia, Canada Offline	I'm interested in bikejoring - any links to start reading about it? What keeps the dog on course, and how do they know when to turn and in what direction?

Yup. In this case, plug the word into the LEFT search box ("search Leerburg.com") rather than the right one (which is the board only) because there won't be a bunch of returns leading to the LB site instead of the board. I just tried it and received dozens of returns with the term bikejoring.

MAN if only I had a harness big enough for Moses. i think i'll make him one, go bye some roller blades, and get my butt back! yeah!
