Description

Sorry gang, but I haven't tortured anyone with pictures of our furry children for well over a year.... so here I go! ; D We got Yukon from the Wisconsin Samoyed Rescue. He was a handful when we first got him. His power and youth (We think he was barely 1 year old) were coupled with a Tasmanian Devils craziness! Not a good mix. For fun (Twice) we entered him into weight-pulls. In novice class, the first time out, he won first prize, blue ribbon for pulling over 1,380 lbs!! He didn't even acknowledge that there was weight behind him until he hit the 1,380 mark. The winning dog that day (Pit Bull) pulled over 3,000 lbs! Anyway, we don't make him pull weight like that anymore, I think he prefers pulling a sled! He is beginning to mature into a wonderful dog. Kiska's picture comes tomorrow, which will put her first! Hope everyones "Hump Day" went well! Peace, ; )

Forget sled racing, you could harness him to your car, stick it in neutral and enjoy the gas savings! Just remember to give him plenty of treats afterwards for a job well done.

What a handsome fellow he is, beautiful photo of him. And wonderful you to have rescued a dog. Too many don't have a chance at a good life. : )

Love those eyes. I read a little on sled dogs a couple weeks ago. I was surprised how many breeds make great team dogs. There are only a few though that can survive living full time in the cold arctic environment.
