Cross Breeds

How many lab mix dogs would you need to pull a 230lb man on a snow sleigh?

The sleigh would be plastic and our three year old lab mix weighs about 70lbs but I am unsure if he could pull my dad by himself. I think he could pull my sister who weighs 65lbs. -and my dog is crazy bye.

1. He's the wrong kind of dog for that job. You need a couple huskys. -!-
2. there must be a mathematical way to work this out, I would say that the cargo weight should be at least equal to the dogs so for your dad it means at least four dogs, maybe five would be better
3. about 3 or 4 labs they are strong like all dogs they are stronger than some humans (other than toy dogs and other smallish dogs)
4. 1 dog. Many breeds are trained in weight pulling and yes, I have seen a Labrador pull 2000 some pounds on the track. Be responsible. Pulling can really damage your dog. Get the right kind of harness if you are serious about trying this.
