Draught Casso

Draught dogs are a selection of heavy-built breeds also known as “draft” dogs, which were bred and used for pulling carts or sleds. Traditionally, they were used to transport goods to and from the market (or for those of you familiar with Togo and Balto, medicine from town to town when the trains couldn’t run), However, modern-day, such work has largely turned into sport. Well-known examples of this breed group are the Siberian Husky, Alaskan Malamute, Saint Bernard, and the Newfoundland. Furry-Paws currently has 12 Draught Breeds on-site.

These breeds excel in Agility, Speed, Stamina, and Strength, making them
good picks for sports such as Sledding and Pulling.

—---------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Draught Casso, it’s our goal to support these breeds and each other in maintaining steady activity. Anyone who currently breeds Draughts, wants to start, or even just admires them are welcome within the walls of this corner of Furry-Paws.

Note from the president: If anyone would like help starting lines or even maintaining them financially,
I can assist as best as I can (even with your achievement goals!).
