Question
What is natural rearing?  Also how do I introduce my 3yr male to weight pulling, since his papers show it's his family strength?

Answer
Natural rearing is something some breeders are into, where dogs are raised naturally and vax free, usually treated homeopathically instead of conventionally, here:

It takes a lot of time and conditioning to do weight Pull, and you need to get a special padded harness and start building it up slowly with pulling, some people use a sled, it would be best to find a group local to you that does it.  You want to find people who do it, and they can show you how and get you started to compete, http://www.pulldoggies.com/competition.htm  That list is upcoming weight pull shows, see if the site has any links to someone in your area, I'm not sure where you're located.
