Roading Dogs – Needing new materials
February 8th, 2008
Our roading rig wasn’t up to snuff when it came to the dogs we currently have; a couple of BIG labs that love to pull. The chain link fence top rail pipe wasn’t strong enough. Last night we loaded up to go, I started slowly and they shot off like we were in a race. The pipe just folded. Today I’ll be looking for a heavier duty pipe. Otherwise the outfit is working great. The kids love to hook up their sled behind and go for a 4 mile sled run in the dark with all the snow we have.

I bought a similar pipe, but in a larger diameter. It isn’t much heavier, but is plenty beefy. It works great. -Chris

I did not know that they made these types of set ups and I designed my own for my 2 Great Pyrenees dogs. I simply took a good solid horse lead rope and fished it through a 4′ section of pcv pipe and tied a knot at the end then tied it to the rack of the wheeler. I put one on each side or sometimes both from the back. Work’s great and not so bulky
