adequately rated comment

Yup

they arent even that big of a dog more like normal-sized

Sadly most mushing set ups don't run like this one. Obviously they didn't care if they won or not. Her stopping for her dog to pee made me want to cry, Ive never seen some one do that. Most mushers don't even stop for dogs to poop most times. Its racing afterall. I work in sled dog racing, I really think its best if it was made illegal. I hate to recommend you watch such a thing. But the films "sled dogs" is a more realistic look at the industry at large. Pushing dogs and breeding them to win races is horrible. Ive seen what it take to build an maintain a winning racing team and I have literal nightmares about it.

@@doggodoggo3000 yeah, because they are supposed taught to go while running. Usually mushers dont stop for them for that reason

@@eastereggersforlife5908 they aren't "taught" to go while running. you just don't stop. they either figure it out or they don't. At the winning level people will even sell a dog because its not good at "pooping on the fly," as they call it. people lose races over that sort of thing. half the time they are being ran till they have loose runny stools anyway so its just will fall out. the harnesses, lines, and the dogs will all be covered in dog crap by the end of a run. the loose poop will spray onto their tail and then be slung off their tail onto the dogs behind them.

@@doggodoggo3000 huh, the people you hang around must not know about hygiene, all of the mushers i have seen treat their dogs way better than that. mushers i see are constantly cleaning their dogs and equipment.

@@eastereggersforlife5908 no they don't.

Beautiful huskies and well groom

I can appreciate how the Lady was very careful to lock the gate on the fence. I good was to get them back is to show the dog his leash and take him for a walk.

Hi sue

I wondered if there were any mushers in Connecticut, you have answered my question. That's a great license plate you had, by the way.

@@georgewaters8592 Not so many now as far as I know. Our Connecticut Valley Siberian Husky Club races at one time would draw thirty or more entries in classes up to eight dogs. When I left the sport, entries generally topped out at the four dog level. Does the name Bill Hahn ring a bell with you? He ran teams of all white Huskies in CT, MA, and NH. Becki Tucker, originally from RI but moved to Maine for the longer races there, has reportedly come back to CT recently. I left the sport when my dogs aged out and my knees went bad. On my license plate: MUSHER was already taken. Don't know who owned it but I did see it at a local Target parking lot. I would have done MUSHER-T but at the time Connecticut had a six character limit on license tags.

@thomaskowalcky4553 no, I can't say it does, and I'll be the first to admit that at one week shy of age 59, I am having more than just what appears to be an interest in sled dogs, which oddly enough I only started becoming interested in after my dog Loki crossed the Rainbow Bridge at age 15.5, she was the complete opposite of a sled dog I suppose, a pitbull mix who weighed about 65 to 67 pounds. A co worker who knows the people who run Muddy Paws and Raft, along with Over The Hill Senior Sled Dog Rescue, both up in New Hampshire asked me if when the time was right would I consider adopting a retired sled dog, and that was back in August of last year, but now I find myself immersed in the sport of sled dog racing from a spectator standpoint, plus I want to get involved as a donor to those two places I just mentioned. I just looked up that Siberian Club you mention, it seems to be somewhat active but as you know we don't get snow like we used to anymore. Man, I know all about bad knees !! I romanticize the idea of someday being able to go up to New Hampshire and get to go on a nice easy sled dog ride, but not with my bad left knee. Hey thanks for the reply, from one outdoorsman to another.... cheers!!

Hey Becky! Love seeing your comments!

} please don't take the race FIRST.. .enjoy the puppies!!❤️

Yea they waited for her like no big deal hurry up.

What do u mean -.-

@@tallulahc250 that means they do what they told and stuff. like taking comands

@@ferns2738 ahhh ok ty

Snow crunching is definitely captioned as ‘applause’ lol

Exactly! Love large breeds, huskies included, but there's a reason why my family went with a mastiff instead. One 20 minute walk a day to keep the muscles lean without too much strain on the joints

@@setablaze1802 I have an English mastiff! He’s a good, sluggish boy. He’s 198 pounds and his name is Kitty. And keep your kids away, because he will sit on them. He doesn’t know where his body is 😂

yesss! say it with me now- don't get a big dog if you cant exercise it

Mine makes sure I get my cardio in.

they arent even big but if you compare to the critters like cats only than maybe they actually of a almost perfect size dogs should be--_-- @@setablaze1802

im sure they would be a few! i dont know where you live but try looking up bikejoring!

Why not adopt from a shelter and save a life? I wanna start doing this but with rescue dogs

@@mariagolke3678 say it with me now? don’t tell people to rescue a dog

@@mariagolke3678 I need a dog that is predictable. I changed my mind completely and will be getting a dog from a breeder since I plan on doing sport protection as well.

yes its nice to see ppl who dont just get a dog as a house ornament or something they can dress up and put in a stroller and actually take them out and do activities with them that they enjoy

yes! people will call this abuse and then feed their dog too much, keep it in an apartment and never let it use its brain.

i know some people use zinc, i believe you can use the same stuff as horses, just be careful as some dogs skin can react differently

Iditarod dogs wear shoes, so …

I've always said I'd like to have PETA members hold my dogs back when we're going up to the starting line!

Peta being exposed as liars left and right!

Peta is just looking for an excuse to euthanize animals.

There’s nothing that makes a husky happier than running through the snow. It’s a shame that a few mushers have soured the dog sled racing image. It’s nothing like the dilemma with Greyhounds.

@@fern-liberationlakdnd what movie are you watching? do you not have eyes? can you not tell a happy dog from a suffering dog? let me help you these dogs in the video? are HAPPY and EXCITED they arent being whipped or dragged into compliance they are running full speed ahead on their own and they are happy about it; why ppl try and take these activities away from dogs and make them illegal is beyond me...why would anyone want to take away a sport that dogs love and enjoy so much? i loved this short movie btw thanks @American Kennel Club for sharing!! its so nice to see ppl doing activities with their dogs instead of leaving them cooped up in the house all day every day

It’s music to my ears. 🌈 Actually, huskies are incredibly quiet (much more so than other breeds), it is only when they are excited (anticipation of running through the snow) that they make noise. The sound they make is not even a bark it’s a yowl (half yelp/half howl).

But then don’t have huskys or watch

Que lindos, se ven con capuchitas, jajaja! Dios es hermoso y perfecto

There's a sled dog racing yard somewhere close by, in the rutal vicinity where I live.I hear the dogs barking more during the summer months, probably because they're not run as much when its warm/hot weather, and they're bored. After a couple of days, I don't even notice the barking.

Because they're huskies. Very excited working huskies. Theres no keeping thrm quiet

theyre having fun

Hahaha 😂😂😂😂

If they tell them to be quiet then will just howl louder lol😊

I don't agree . They can be taught to not bark

How many mushers do you know and how many.mushing operations have you personally visited?
