Draft Work
Draft work or carting demonstrates the Newfoundland’s natural ability and strength. The dog and handler must demonstrate team work to maneuver around obstacles and perform a freight haul.
Recently the NCA expanded the draft test to include a Beginner Draft Dog (BDD), an Advanced Draft Dog (DDX), along with the Draft Dog (DD) level. Draft Dog and Advanced Draft Dog can also be done as a team event with two or more dogs.
Additional information on Draft training can be found at the Newfoundland Club of America's main Draft page, as well as the page containing a seven-part video presentation.
