Guess I'll keep my name on him...

As I've stated, pulling a cart and doing draft work is mandatory here - every dog, every single one here, can pull a cart. Some are more fluent than others, but every one can. Jack, Brick, Kestrel, Whiskey, Dean, Frost, Oliver, and Pow can all pull. Not a one had any sort of freak out at all first time hitched up - just hitch and go.

Today was the day to test Charlie's draft work temperament. As expected, he did great, and can even turn relatively tight considering he doesn't know how to sidestep to pivot. He only looked back at the cart when we ran over a poor defenseless squeaky toy. His tail waves, he's happy happy, and I did work him off leash some - but with ducks loose and the cat, had to prevent him from getting himself into trouble getting distracted by either one.
