Rüdi and Drafting
One of the activities I really want to do with Rüdi is drafting/carting. Santa brought our carting starter kit a bit early, so I had to try it out. This is a video of one of Rüdi's first runs with it. I'd say he is a natural at 5 months!

(Before the experts yell at me, I know the harness is far too big/loose and that the shafts are not bent to the correct size. They are actually sized for our flat-coated retriever Echo, but I had to let Rüdi have the first try.)
We've since gotten a loaner harness that fits him better and are working on basic obedience with a cart (with no load). Hopefully by the time he turns 18 months, he'll be all set to start the drafting tests. (That likely depends more on his handler — aka me — than on him!)
