Newfoundland Dog Pulling Owner on COOLEST Riding Dog Cart Ever!

- This is a video I made of some short clips of Appa the Newfoundland (2 and a half years old, 110 lbs.) pulling her homemade riding dog cart. The cart was designed and built by my father and me in January 2019.
No animals were harmed in the making of this video. The Newfoundland is a working breed and can easily pull light loads. However, please do not attempt at home without proper training and a well-fitted pulling harness.

That is awesome, how did you make it, would love one for my dog .
Thanks. It started with a couple of thrift store bicycles. The 2 front wheels are from a bmx bike. The rear wheel section is from a cheap mountain bike. We used the front fork from that same bike and welded it in the square metal tubing that connects the rear section to the front axle, which is just a piece of round steel tubing. For the rear brake, we cut the handlebar and welded it to the square tube and used a standard mountain bike brake lever. The seat is also homemade - just plywood, foam, and vinyl. The shafts that connect to the dog's harness are emt conduit which slide into metal tubes that we welded to the front axle.

Well done.
And weld one.😊
good exercise for a strong dog who by his wagging tail is very happy to do it
I have grown up with Newfoundlands and it is so true that they are working dogs and LOVE doing it. This is an awesome set up and u can see he is in his GLORY pulling it.
talk about livin it pup! some folks just know how to live. you sir, are a winner!!
You are a genious!!! Love it! I am disabled. If you would consider building one for me what would you charge? I could even send to you all the parts you need.

Thanks, Stephanie. This will likely be the only one I build. Too many other things going on, and building one of these is quite time consuming.
Find a good local fabrication place. They would be able to knock one of these up if you havent done it already?
Newfoundland is love 😘
Hello. Would you please make a video with pictures of the cart from every angle? Front, back, sides, etc. Along with a commentary on your thoughts on how and why you built this the way you did, and what you would do different or imaprove upon, if you built another one. Thanks in advance
I want to make one too
They did not respond did they?
I want one! We have 2 Newf's (2 and 11.5 years old) and taking the young one for a walk is more like "her taking YOU for a walk". They don't like chasing balls or retrieving-this cart would be so much better. Also, going to the dog park-they play some and then just walk around (not much of a workout). That, and the fact that it's hard for people to realize because of their size that they're quite gentle and WON'T hurt their dog. I've had people kick my dog away from their dogs just for playing and had a stranger yell at me (last month) for basically non-aggressive play-just barking and paws on shoulders. My old Newf used to get bite all the time by smaller dogs-even in the Big Dog side of the park.
A cart for the young one to pull would definitely be a good idea. Newf's love to have a job to do, and pulling a cart is no problem for them. Just make sure it's on flat ground. Also, grats on the 11.5 year old Newf. Not many of them make it that far. I wish all of you good health for many more years!
Can you get them in the water? If so, does that spark them up?
they love having a job a such a great idea!!!
Lovely video. I train Newfoundlands to pull carts.
Hi do you have any plans or instructions on building your cart? Thanks
Love the cart! I couldn't tell but does it have a hand break just in case you have to stop fast? This looks like it would be a good set up for someone who had a couple huskies that needed to be tired from their walk. This seems like it would be a good set up for delivery in a small town as well. I love when working breeds actually get to work. It really helps them not go nuts from staying in the house all the time. I had a lady ask me to help train her dog. She (a border collie) was jumping straight up and bonking her nose on the tile when she saw a sun beam. I explained that she needed to teach her dog new things at least once a week because her dog is a working dog. Just going for walks isn't enough enrichment for a high energy/intellect dog. Thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks for the comment. It does have a hand brake. You can see it in the very first clip right beside the seat bottom. It's a bicycle brake lever hooked up to the back wheel. Working breeds definitely need to work, and they enjoy it. Now that it's almost summer, we take her swimming as much as we can. The pull cart will mainly be for the colder months.
@@thegoofienewfie2063 Thanks for answering.
This is awesome! And your dog is gorgeous btw. I have a Bernese pup I’m training to be my service dog. I just found out about this and now I’m pumped to try it someday!
Thanks! A Bernese would probably love to pull a cart. Would love to see some videos of your puppy.
Think this might work for paraplegic's?
Also, because of my health I can’t take her for walks (especially in the Texas heat) don’t worry, we live on an acre and she has our other dogs to play and run with. But with this, I think I could handle it, and she would be able to go on walks
Genial!
Cute and strong dog
Dude this is awesome now I have a reason to raise a big dog👍😁
Очень хорошо катает тележку, умничка! 🤗☺️😚
That looks soo sweet.🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪❤❤🐾🐾🐾🐾
That is so awesomely cool!!!
Biggy boogy biggy doggy ,,its so cute 😘😘
Awesome. Where do i get a cart like that?
Is there a place one of these can be bought? we are getting a newfie this year and would love to try carting :) I know this one is homemade but would you be willing to share blue prints or plans? I would love a riding cart and not just a utility cart.
Sacco Dog Cart looks like a decent one, but I don't know how much it is or how long you'd have to wait to get one. The only other one that looks available is the K-9 Carting one, but I have no idea how it performs. I've only seen 1 video of someone using it. Unfortunately, I don't have blue prints or plans. It's a mishmash of scrap metal combined with a couple of thrift store bikes and required a good bit of fabrication.
@@thegoofienewfie2063 Thank you for the reply! I was looking at the sacco and and the K-9 Carting. I am still waiting for my puppy so I have lots of time. I will do some more research on both of those brands for sure.
gooddog🐶💖
Biiig fwufffy boi
Can you make a cart for me?
Umm not sure how good
This is for
Dogs?
Just go back in history and you will see that dogs had jobs. Once we stopped giving man's best friend job, all types of terrible things happened to many breeds. Heath issues shorter lifespans and horrible conformation are some of these problems. This Newfoundland has a job and you can bet hes benefited greatly from the physical and mental stimulation pulling a cart brings
It is very good for this breed. It isn't good for ALL dogs, but it is good for some dogs.
This is a working dog. You give him tasks hell be happy. He is made for that. If you keep him pasive hell will become most lilely sad and depresiv.
@@xperformxperformance8039 yeh but he is not a sledge dog? They are swimmers right? Not pullers?
@@josephtdi8764 They were also often used for draft work. Basically any giant breed with good structure is capable of handling draft work with ease.
😂😂😂😻😻😻👍👍👍👍
Lol

cool
A vomir !
