Sharing again to find Lincoln a great 🏡

16/08/2025

✨ Looking for the perfect home for Lincoln✨

Looking to place a sweet, almost 2-year-old Australian Shepherd who is ready to start his next chapter!

Linc is a UKC Champion, but he’s decided the show ring just isn’t his thing. Instead, he’s looking for a family where he can shine as a beloved pet or possibly in performance dog, though he hasn’t been started in anything, just eager to please and drivey.

🐾 Age: 2 years old 10/23
🐾 Breed: Australian Shepherd
🐾 Temperament: Loving, smart, active
🐾 Placement: Pet or performance home only (not available for breeding)

He’ll thrive with someone who understands the energy and heart of this amazing breed. If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent companion (and maybe a teammate for dog sports), he might just be the one.

📩 Message me if you’d like more details about giving this special boy the forever 🏡 he deserves!

Updated pics to come soon.

What Is Weight Pull?
Weight pull is a dog sport where dogs pull a cart or sled loaded with weights over a short distance—typically 16 feet—within a set time. It’s a fantastic way to build physical strength, mental focus, and deepen the bond between dog and handler.

Who Hosts Weight Pull Events?
You’ll find weight pull competitions held by several organizations, including but not limited to:
UKC (United Kennel Club)
ADBA (American Dog Breeders Association)
IWPA (International Weight Pull Association)

Each organization has its own rules, equipment styles, and titles that dogs can earn.
But Isn’t That Cruel?
Not at all! In fact, one of the most important aspects of weight pull is consent—a dog who doesn’t want to pull simply won’t. Handlers don’t force or coerce their dogs. Success in this sport depends entirely on the trust and teamwork between dog and owner.

Dogs who enjoy weight pull often show clear signs of enthusiasm at the start line—they bark, bounce, and can't wait to get in the harness! It’s a positive outlet for driven, athletic dogs who love to work.

Why Try Weight Pull?
Builds strength and confidence
Offers a unique challenge for working breeds
Strengthens communication and trust between dog and owner
It’s inclusive—many dogs can participate with proper conditioning
Weight pull isn’t about domination—it’s about connection. If you’ve ever seen a dog light up when they realize they can pull that cart, you know it’s something special.

Have you tried weight pull? We’re thinking of getting back into it! Share your best pull photos!
