Before ever having a Great Pyrenees pull anything, it should be in good physical condition, free of orthopedic problems and of a normal weight for its age. No pup under 18 months should pull anything heavier than the cart itself, and pups under 12 months should not pull even that, although they can be trained to accept the harness.

Once the dog is trained to pull, it can comfortably pull a weight equal to it's body weight, which can be 160 pounds, or more. Dogs trained for weight pulls can, and do, pull heavier weights for short distances, but that kind of pulling should be left to professionals.

What is the max weight a miniature donkey can carry?

Any equine, including donkeys and mules, can pull their own weight (cart n harness animals) and carry 20% of their own body weight. So if your mini is 300 lbs he can 60lbs (that includes tack as well). Donkeys are reputed to being a bit stronger than horses, but the standard rule of thumb is they can pull how much they weight and they can ride 20% of what they weigh.


How much can an two ox pull yoked together?

Two oxen yoked together can pull approximately 1.5 to 2 times the weight that a single ox can pull. On average, a single ox can pull around 1,000 to 1,200 pounds, so combined, they can effectively pull between 1,500 to 2,400 pounds, depending on factors such as their breed, training, and the terrain. Their ability to work together efficiently is enhanced by being yoked, allowing them to share the load and increase their overall pulling power.
