Oversized Dog Kennel on Wheels
« on: March 30, 2014, 20:08:22 »
Well, that's what it looks like to me!



Where is this from and what was it intended for?

Also, what pulled it?  It has a strange connector, seemingly unsuitable for either animals or vehicles.



I like it and I'm sure I've got use for it - but it would be great to know its original intention too!

It's a wagon from a german shepherd (not a dog!) - pulled by a donkey ;)

Oh wow, thank you so much.

No wonder I couldn't find a driver's seat for it - it hasn't got one!

And of course it is the ideal size for sheep too - yet I never considered that.  I'm so happy knowing what it actually is!

We got one in a job lot recently (I just love those lots with hidden gems like this in them!) and I managed to get all the missing parts on ebay -except the donkey's saddle :(
Shepherds used shelters like this as temporary homes, I believe, in order to watch over their flocks. If you are a Terry Pratchett fan, you may remember Granny Aching lived in something like this (probably bigger though) in Wee Free Men.

I don't remember the name of the (german) series, but it had a "park ranger" (or something) called Rombach, and it featured one JUST LIKE THIS. Really. I remember we were both quite surprised. The shepherd was just like Sebastian too, and even had that odd tool. Unfortunately, he just held it, so its use remained a mystery.

I think that "odd tool" is meant to be a version of a shepherd's axe, as explained on Wikipedia:  Shepherd's Axe   :)
