I am often asked, "What is the maximum weight pulled and what breeds pull the most?".  Thus, I put together this page to help answer the question.

I have divided the dog weights into 10 pound increments.  Wt. of 30# includes dogs from 30# through 39#.

The top two weights for each range are listed.  This could be the same dog on two separate days; and there could be more dogs that pulled the same weight.

The average is for all dogs in the range.
