A few of the Carts we have used

[Mike]

We've have tried a few different types of carts over the years, from the 2 wheel to 4 wheel carts, scooters and wagons. There are a large variety of them out there.

Sue's trademark cart that she uses more than any other is the Grahm Carriage made by Bob Grahm. Here are 3 of our Bouviers resting after going for a spin:



Another type is what is called a sled dog training cart or mushing rig. These are used a lot by those with sled dogs so they can train and keep their dogs in training even if the months without snow. With the pulling power of the Bouvier, they can easily pull this heavier rig, although most Bouvs don't pull with the same speed as some of the traditional sled dogs. I like to say that a team of Bouviers will pull you up the side of a mountain... but they will do it in their own time.



Here are 4 of them on a gang line:



Although these are not Bouviers pulling this Lynx cart, this is an example of a smaller, lighter version of a 4 wheel cart. I was interested in buying one of these but never got around to it. Here is is being demonstrated to Sue and I one cold, rainy, Dec. day.



We had brought our 2 wheel ATV scooter with us when we met the woman with the Lynx cart. She wanted to try it out. As I said above, the Bouviers have their speed and at least for ours, it isn't really fast enough to keep this heavy of a scooter going fast enough to stay balanced. But her one GSP had that thing just a spinning around the fairground parking lot. Several of our Bouvs were watching but I don't think they were all that impressed.



Here is the Bouvier Speed for this scooter:



We have a couple of more types, a 4 wheel wagon and a lighter scooter that I've not had a chance to take pictures of yet. When I do, I'll post those as well.

The lighter scooter we have looks like these here:
