Sledding


Recommended Posts

Heya.

Axle (sibe) is coming up to 10 months and I know I can't train him to 18 months but I want to start buying gear so I don't get slugged all at once.

Is it too early to get a harness? He is already at his breed standard height but not weight???

How far should I be running him at 10 months? I do 2km with him in the evening (I run further in the mornings and sometimes in the evening but he only does 2km.)

Cheers,

Michael.

I'm no expert but I wouldn't be sure running a 10 month old over a 2km distance is a good idea. Walking pace would be better I would've thought, at least until he's alittle older.

thinking you may not get a lot of replies ... have you searched Yahoo groups for a specific dog sledding group? they seem to have a group for everything on there and then you could have all your q's answered and more!

good luck with the sledding - that looks like so much fun!!! maybe if I had 10 shelties... :confused:
