Because, since I had to leave my rototiller behind
when we moved, there is a garden area that will eventually
need to be tilled. If I do this right, I can accomplish
two chores at once.
What good is having a dog the size of a horse if it
can't do some work for you, I ask?


Heh. I *would* recommend that if you're going to pull him, get a proper
pulling harness--a tracking harness won't distribute his weight properly
for a good pull. I bet there's stuff on the UKC site about this!

I liked the siwash style one I got from www.nordkyn.com.

But Meat Terri shouldn't get the green one, because the kibolgists are
having a hard enough time telling the two of us apart.

The kind of harness that's best is a function of how the dog
is built and what it's going to be doing. X-back harnesses
are really best for dogs that are a little houndy/lanky
(Alaskan Huskies, for example, or Emmett). Siwash and
freighting-style harnesses are good for stockier dogs. I'd
measure the dog and then phone someone knowledgeable
(Nordkyn is an excellent place, and I've had terrific
experiences ordering made-to-order harnesses from Alpine
Outfitters - http://www.alpineoutfitters.net).
