Welcome to the forum, it's great to have another musher on the forums! I hope to get my own sled someday! but for now I just do mostly skijoring

Olympia · 11-01-2009, 07:06 PM

Thank you for the warm welcome! You will love sledding, I don't do skijoring as we have the sled, I do bike with my dogs for conditioning using the springer bike attachments, and we have a rig we use during the Fall, and Spring!

i really love huskies. i love the colours of your dogs.

A friend of mine races her Siberians, she has 10 of them. and she let me have a couple of her harnesses, and she also has an extra sled that she said she MAY let me borrow, but we'll see.

Ioreks-mom thank you! I had two others but they both passed due to illness in old age!

Thanks guys!

Tiff I wouldn't mind seeing more of your pack they are absolutely stunning! Still amazed at how well they behave for picture time!!

Oh wow! This is a dream of mine to have a sled team, but I know I could never handle one husky, soooo. lol

They are GORGEOUS!

Keechak · 11-02-2009, 11:09 AM

well my dog Hawkeye will finally be old enough this winter to start sledding with him. He will be 20 months by the time the snow is good enough for sledding. A friend of mine has another Aussie, a 70 pound 3 year old male, who is very strong and loves to run so I'm hoping to "borrow" him to run on my team with Hawkeye and Kechara.

hey you don't need huskies for sledding. I've seen, German Pointers, Golden Retirivers, and I do it with my Australian Shepherds.

Olympia · 11-02-2009, 01:58 PM

This is true, you don't need huskies, I have seen many breeds pulling sleds!

I will say though that Sibes are not as difficult as alot of people say they are as long as they get their exercise, and training in they are wonderful companions! Mine all live in the house, and have excellent manners!

ioreks_mom · 11-02-2009, 02:25 PM

we had a siberian husky growing up. he was my everything! i loved him. he lived to be 13 and then had to be pts due to cancer

this is him, not the best picture, but it was taken about 17 years ago!

Olympia · 11-02-2009, 02:47 PM

Ioreks_mom he was so beautiful! My first Sibe pictured in this thread with my son passed away due to cancer 17 yrs ago as well! What was your boys name?

Michiyo-Fir · 11-02-2009, 03:32 PM

Huskies! I absolutely love them! Do you find it hard to get only 3 dogs to pull a sled?

Olympia · 11-02-2009, 04:01 PM

No it's not hard they all work well together, so they just run run run!

ioreks_mom · 11-02-2009, 05:00 PM

all your dogs are so pretty

our husky was named chaser. we didn't name him, he came to us named by a 4 year old... he chased her so he was "chaser". i loved him so much. he was the definition of "dog" to me. perfect! he didn't pass away 17 years ago, the picture was taken that long ago. he passed away about 7-8 years ago.

the other dog in the picture was buttons because "he was cute as a button" when we got him.

Olympia · 11-02-2009, 05:26 PM

I'm sorry I miss read that! Our Hailey passed away 6 yrs ago! I still miss them both~

ioreks_mom · 11-02-2009, 06:58 PM

don't worry about it

i really miss him too. it is very hard to lose a pet.
