Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Our first official WPD hike is in the books! 10/01/2014 logged 6 beautiful miles, perfect moderate temperatures, and the boys did absolutely great!

i have a question about saddle bags..

i always use x-back harness with my canicross belt for hiking when ascent, i love that and my dog loves that..

but when going for few days trip, i cant carry so much stuff for both of us, so i was thinking to get a Ruffwear Approach, but i would like that he pulls me like before..
is that to much work for him, pulling and saddle bags and how is the web master harness for pulling?

Once you load down a pack they are not as inclined to pull. I still feel a comfortable resistance on the line, but not like a traditional x-back. The Working Pack Dog trials require the packs be loaded to 25% of their body weight, in Denali that is 13lbs and Dakota nearly 12lbs.
