Come on out and test your paws at weight pulling courtesy of Sheryl and her two Malamutes Cinnabar and Sebastian! Sheryl is a member of the IWPA (International Weight Pull Association) as well as a member of the UKC PPAPBT Weight Pull Club, and the AMAEP (Alaskan Malamute Association of Eastern PA). Sheryl and her boys pull year round in IWPA, UKC (United Kennel Club), and AMCA (Alaskan Malamute Club of America) sanctioned weight pull events. Dog Pulling is akin to a tractor pull. Dogs compete to see who can pull the most weight 16 feet. They pull a wheeled cart on an earthen surface, or a sled on snow. The handler has no contact with the dog during the pull, so it is up to the dog's willingness to pull. Safety of the dog is of paramount concern. Since IWPA's organization in 1984, no dogs have been hurt in competition.
