He already does run with the big boys. He's just a little dog, about 40 pounds, but he's all power. He's one of my best pullers. He can't lead; it's too much pressure for him, but he will run anywhere else in the team.

Being timid makes him more difficult to harness and train. But once he gets something, he gets it forever. I run my timid dogs beside very calm, confident ones. They pick up what the dogs around them are doing and follow along.
