i used to take him to the beach and he wouldnt get tired. so i started him pulling weights, slowly increasing them. i think he got to about 17kgs of weight.(him weighing about 30kg) about 1 km each way. and could still run in bursts with them on if he wanted to. i wasnt being mean just trying to get him the workout he needed.
he hasnt done that in ages now though, he broke the harness. id have to start from the start again. he has lost all his size now (small in that picture)
but the stick thing came from the beach too, at three months old he found a boat oar that he would carry on that walk each time. from there he just didnt do sticks.
but hes been a great dog, allways a laugh. and tough!
i could tell many stories.
