I want to enter Aspen in weight pulling competitions, but will this cause more problems for his shoulder...?

Have you had his shoulders x-rayed? If not I think you should just to make sure there isn't anything seriously wrong in there...

If he has a bad shoulder, I don't think I would ask him to do things like that. It's bound to cause him problems.

His shoulders were x-rayed about a year ago, when he first started limping, and nothing was found. I probably will do it again, even if he doesn't do weight pulling...

Maybe we'll just stick to scootering...

i would talk to a vet. one of my dogs that i do agility with was born with two disk in his back too close together and it pinches a nerve. but do to the placement he can still do agility no problem.

again, it depends on the severity of the injury. if you do decide to enter him, make sure to supplement his diet with things like glucosamine/chondroitin, and or oils, which contain omega 3 fatty acids, and are great for lubricating the joints. hope this helps! Good Luck!:smile:
