Draft
work demonstrates the newf's natural instinct as a wor king
dog. The Newfoundland dog and handler show teamwork as they participate
in land work involving hauling.
Two
types of titles can be obtained in Draft, Individual Division Draft Dog
(DD) and Team Division Team Draft Dog (TDD). As in the water test, there
are a series of exercises that the dog and handler must pass in order to
achieve these titles. The DD includes basic control; harnessing,
hitching & equipment check; maneuvering course & basic commands;
freight load; distance freight haul; and intriguing distraction.
