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.

I am looking into either building or buying a cart this spring so that I can run the girls. Does anyone own one? Have you ever built one?

I'd love to hear info on building one if anyone has any or if you find any building plans. My hubby would rather build a cart himself for running our sibe than buy one. He's one of those do it yourself-ers on stuff like that. I haven't found any DIY dog cart plans online to go off of as a starting point but I have been brainstorming on my own for a while. I'll be following this thread with interest.

I have been saving pictures of different ones I like, I just can't justify spending 1,000 - 2,000 on one!

I have an old Risdon Rig I bought used last winter.

I've heard that building a cart can cost as much as buying one but that might not always be true. I suggest asking around on the sled dog central forum--I know people over there have built their own.

IMO, the best way to go is to buy used. Sled dog central also has a classified page and something might pop up there. Smile

I just found this site:

You can harness up to 2 dogs at once, no where near as expensive as the other places I've looked.

Nice selection and I like the bigger diameter wheels as they'll be better when off road.

We have one of these carts which we use for Kiddies Rides at Christmas and at charity events.

They are totally unsuitable for running your dogs however as they have no brakes and are designed for walking rather than running. If the dogs ran with it and slowed suddenly, the cart would run over them. You would be much better with a three wheeled rig (which we use for dryland mushing in the UK or a scooter.

Rigs are much safer, they have disc brakes and you can run up to 8 dogs on them.
