The new hobby

Post by NuttyTart »

Here's some pics of part of the reason we are selling the bikes, we are hoping to train the dogs up to start dog sledding :biggrin the other reasons are endless ie no time, I don't feel safe on the road (2 young kiddies always in the back of my mind) etc...etc...so the dog sledding will be more family orientated and in a couple of years we'll both get bikes or get a bike between us (another blade for sure :biggrin )

Anyway, here's the muts (Alaskan Malamutes)....

First off is Skye - 11 months

Here's Coll, we just got him on Monday, he's 1 and a half, very placid and laid back...

I heard Malamutes like nothing better than to dig holes in your garden! We have a much smaller mutt - a Cairn Terrier, and she's quite a character. Listens to everything you say then ignores it completely. She likes the snow tho.

Good luck Nutty, me and the Mrs are just back from northern Sweden and we went sledding with a team of sled dogs. Amazing animals full of life and they love what they do. Pound for pound their strength is amazing.
