They are a very Reputable seller. Great items just charge to much at least for me bc I don't use my dogs for flash. Mine are working dogs

Many Presa Breeders / Owners overseas purchase from them

The only work my dog does it walking back and forth to the water and food dish lol. I think I might get him pulling next winter but only for an activity to do, not to be useful at all lol.

I was curious about doing the weight pulling too. I heard that this shouldn't be done until after the age of two though. Any body else heard this? He pulls me all over the floor already. LOL :D

BTW....Ordering my OLI Collar next month!!!

You want to keep from straining him before he's full grown, but there's no reason why you can't start pulling before the age of two. I don't know that I'd personally compete with a less than 2yr old dog, because I don't want him straining to pull heavy weights, but you can certinally practice and build muscles. I had a BUNCH of TM folks attempt to stomp on me when the found out I was weight pulling with Apollo as young as 6months. You'd think I was killing him from their reactions. We just had his hips and elbows xrayed and the vet says everything's damn near perfect.

Right now I'm leaning towards the Antique or the Battle collar. I like that clean old look, I think 2.5" wide is the widest I would go too.

I've had really good experiences with Oli. I jumped the gun and ordered the Centurion collar for my CC when he was about 6 months old. When I realized I had underestimated his adult size, Luis took back the (unworn) collar and is remaking it now that my boy is over a year old. I just ordered the Mastino as well.

From all accounts (including my own) Luis stands behind his work 100%.

On the weight pulling front, I certainly dont plan on my guy pulling real weight until after he is two, but I don't see why I cant get him pulling an empty sled and learning commands and what not when he is 18 months than the next winter he will be 2 1/2 and ill let him unleash a little.

haha, that's kind of what I am more afraid of....being chastised by the EM community for having him pull stuff. LOL. But yea I do not want to hurt my little guy, just figured he would enjoy doing it.

Apollo was pulling approx 250lbs at 6 months (thats total including the sled/cart). And doing it without any real strain. But like Ravendarat said there's no reason why you can't teach the concepts now, with a basically empty cart, and just add little bits to help build muscle without straining him.
