Talk:Weight pulling

Joints and bones

Weight pulling is bad for a dog's joints and bones. Veterinarians advise against it for that reason. 71.28.243.28 00:45, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Not true. With a proper fitting harness combined with good conditioning- dogs are often able to enjoy satisfying lives since they have additional care and affection from their masters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.40.134.40 (talk) 22:06, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I disagree that this can't be included. The original addition has been reworded to explain that it's an opinion. It's notable that someone has claimed this, whether or not the claims were substantiated. Not including the information violates WP:NPOV and WP:NOTCENSORED. -- Trevj (talk) 07:47, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
