Hey everyone!!
After our last sledding experience I ordered Yrie a different harness. I opted for a wheel dog harness which is easier on his back end. This harness he likes a lot more and he moves much better in it. (He is in the yellow) Zeus is the Malinois mix in the black x back harness. This was these two boy's first time working together. This is the return trip on the road back to the parking lot. We took the trail there and the road back. (There were other dog sleds behind us and the trail is only one sled wide in most areas) They worked well for the most part, Zeus is smart and he hangs back an inch or two and Yrie was still stuck doing all the work. This was Zeus's first time on sled.
We are the only people who don't have the typical "husky" or "husky hound mix's" We were asked numerous times if any dog could do this sport. Most people just assume only huskies are capable of doing any of these sports. In the group there are mostly huskies, husky/hound mixes, some sort of "Alaskins" Golden retriever, border collies, border collie x husky, I have the only GSD ever to sled. Today there were only the huskies and these two guys. This was in Leamington Ontario Canada at Point Pelee National Park. We had a few come up from Arizona USA to try it and even some from London Ontario for a try. Everyone had a great time!! Hope you enjoy.
