Cruisin' The Motor City

This is my Petey man.

Petey has a Working Dog Superior title through the International Weight Pull Association and completed his United Kennel Club Weight Pull Champion Excellent and United Kennel Club Weight Pull Supreme awards. At 6-years-old Petey made the All-Stars in UKC weight pull. He has placed in the top five dogs in the region in his weight class in the IWPA each year he has competed. He is pictured at his first IWPA National Pull in Leavenworth, Washington May 30, 2000.

This was also taken in Leavenworth. He pulled 2,290 lbs (38 times his weight), placed 8th and got a leg on his Working Dog Superior title. This was only his fifth weight pull. His most weight pulled is 4,395 lbs on rails in 2004. If you'd like more information about the IWPA click here .

This is Pete pulling in Illinois in 2001.

We also pull on snow in the IWPA.

Pete finished his UKC Weight Pull Dog title at his first weekend event.

Part of Petey's training has involved pulling people on a sled. In this picture he is pulling my mom.

Petey and I are working toward a Schutzhund I title. In this photo he is working with decoy Reggie Mercer. Pete got a BH in the fall of 2001. He recently completed his Family Obedience title in UKC and may be participating in UKC protection events in the future.

Pete will do whatever type of work I put in front of him. I love this dog!

Pete also has two legs of his CD title in AKC. We train with Brenda Aloff of Heaven on Arf Dog Training.

Pete is out of Rounder's Michelle Ma Belle CD, OFA, OFEL and Ch. Cruisin for a Bluisin' CDX CGC ROH OFA OFEL. I got him from Sean Nowicki of Cruisin' Kennels in Detroit, Michigan. He was bred by Sean and by Keith and Charlene Monske of Somerset Kennels. He was born in April of 1998. Click here to see his pedigree.
