Are they allowed to sled while pups anyway, or have to be over 18 months? I think it is 8mths for huskies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJack Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I went to this introduction to sledding day yesterday and it was great. Took Jack (big goofy ridgeback malinois cross) and my Kelpie girl Kobe. Jack was a total no hoper. Took the two dogs out at once and Kobe hauled like a pro. Jack just trotted along next to her and never took up the strain on the line even once. After the beginner run, they had the 'proper' races so I entered Kobe into the ladies race. She was so hyped, she knew what was about to happen and a few flyball 'are you ready's' and she knew it was a race and she was barking her head off and hauling at the line before the start. The husky people thought it was hilarious. We came third against a field of all huskies so I was pleased, expecially considering she had already run one race an hour before and the huskies were all fresh. Interestingly, I used her herding side commands to turn her, very pleased that those transferred into another activity. It was great fun and I'll be going back for more. The husky people were very welcoming and had no problem at all with the non-sledding breeds having a go. Everyone was very helpful. I'd recommend it to anyone who's dog loves to run.
