Cairo1 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hi All, I have just come back from a terrific weekend at Dinner Plains (Vic Highlands). I went especially to see the Sled Dog Challenge and it was terrific fun!! It was also a great opportunity to take some fabulous photographs! There was heaps of snow - in fact it snowed for most of the weekend. The huskies looked very happy as did the other breeds with their lovely warm coats. . . . The mushers and helpers themselves were also very nice and friendly. I had four days up there with a group of friends and we had the time of our lives!! Anyone interested in dogs should make at least one trip up there for the snow races!! When I have sorted out my photos I will put them in the photographic topics!!

Tiger_bluez Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 It sounds terrific ... I am assuming it's in Victoria. I am wondering if i can take my dog for a weekend away there and watching sled dogs. My dog is cross breed german shepherd x husky, does she need a coat to get warm and does she need to wear boots so her feet don't get frozen? just wondering cause everytime i am worried about Zoya 's getting cold, my BF said that she should be fine, she is a half husky. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly all of them ran barefoot. The huskies even slept in the snow and didn't seem to mind it at all. And yes, it is in Victoria but since the event is run in a National Park you have to have a permit to have your dogs there. So no, I doubt that a weekend up there with your dog would be feasible We all had to leave our dogs behind. . . . The other reason being that errant dogs create issues when the huskies are running and one or two got into tangles with other dogs. . . . Not sure where else you would go. . . . . But WAIT!!! There is plenty of snow in Tassie at the moment and you don't have to go to a National Park to play in it!! Half of Hobart was under snow today!!
