Many pictorial and oral histories suggest that Our Belgian Sheepdogs were often used for draught work. There are many stories of them pulling Milk Carts & Machine Guns. We do know that through the years, people have found this versatile breed quite willing to get into harness and pull. And in typical Belgian Sheepdog fashion, the dogs have done it with both elegance and athleticism. The Harness
Prince's harness is a Siwash harness imported from http://www.nordkyn.com/ The Stages of building a Cart for Prince
We used the Wheels cut from a sack truck. Prince now loves to pull the cart. He goes into working mode, ignoring all distractions & walks with the look 'look at how clever I am' when he meets people. Children love to see him pulling the cart & we get lots of great compliments. He will happily wait outside the butchers, (in sight of me), while I go in to get the weekend joint & the bones for the Prince & Knight.
