Guest Anonymous Posted August 30, 2002 Posted August 30, 2002 As the weather gets cooler, the huskies get restless! Does any one else here mush or ski jour? Or even skate jour? Quote
deepseasnake Posted August 31, 2002 Posted August 31, 2002 I wish I could, my uncle used to have a team in fairbanks and a guy I work with now used to have 200 kennels in the nothern yukon, I really want to, but washington doesn't have the weather for it and its just not the same being pulled on a 4 wheeler :-?

JackieMaya Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 I had never heard of ski jouring before I saw it on Animal Planet, and it looks like a blast! I might try it for fun next year with my two girls. They both love being outside in the winter, and one of them (Maya) is even part Husky! I like being outside in the winter too, so I think it would be a great activity for me to do with my puppygirls. Quote
Pumpkin the musher Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Hey Jackie- I'm right across the river in Wisconsin- If you want more info on Ski-jouring check out a site called "Sled Dog Central"- it's run by some folks in St. Croix Falls, and it's got a ton of info. Enjoy! Quote
huskys4life Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 deepseasnake, I'm in washington too. Over in Port Orchard. I know what you mean about the weather, but I talked to someone else south of me and he introduced me to scootering. It sounds pretty good for our climate. Quote
Queen Bitch Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 My dad seems somewhat interested in teaching our Samoyed , Conar to skijour, but this past winter was for all intents and purposes, snowless. There is always next year. Quote
sled dog musher Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 Hey i'm a musher! PLease check out my topic on sports and activities called 'fellow mushers' hope to get your reply! Quote
Angelboddy Posted June 8, 2003 Posted June 8, 2003 My mom and i lived in alaska and she had a sled team. I was pretty young, but i do remember riding in the basket they pulled, while my mom mushed the team. It was sooooo fun. :P Quote
Sanvean Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 Skijouring looks SO fun! I wish I could do it, but it might be a little difficult with a 6-pound Maltese :-? Quote
Pumpkin the musher Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 Besides my 10 Alaskans, I have a 5 lb. Pomeranian- she has her own little harness and loves to pull around her little toy sled- she also loves to ride in the sled when I train my "Real" sled dogs :D . Quote
Sanvean Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 Oh, Pumpkin, you have GOT to post photos of that! I bet it's too cute for words! My friend has two Aussies who pull a wagon stocked with snacks and drinks as part of a fund-raiser for a local nature center. Her Pom loves to ride in it -- we say she does PR! Quote
Pumpkin the musher Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 Sorry folks, no pictures yet. I don't actually own a computer, and do all my surfing on my breaktimes at work. Hence my lack of posts on weekends! I do plan to get a computer soon though, and you will have plenty pictures, I promise. Quote
Annushka Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 Setters weren't bred for ski-jouring, but my Asting is best of our friends' dogs :D We even succesfully competed with laikas :silly: In winter our daily run is about 20 km Quote
