I just bought a juvenile Siberian Husky and am currently researching taking him out for a bit of mushing. Does anyone know anything about it and have any tips?

My dog.

Buy a treadmill!!! You will never tire this dog out

We had one a few years back as a pup, bloody lovely thing it was and a lovely temperament, but had far too much energy for its own good.
I looked into it and it turns out , even at an early age, they are expected to do 50 mile sled pulls or something daft like that. Pulling your arse around the park wont cut it

I would have one tomorrow if i lived somewhere remote. It felt wrong living in suburbia with it even though we walked it 4 times a day.

Not looking to put a downer on things fella, just the facts of owning one

Did 85 miles on a BMX myself the other night matey, can't put a downer on me. I am schooled in the art of big dog keeping, but not mushing.

Cracking link that mate, not sure me with Choji lashed to my GT Pro is quite in their league but some very useful info to get us started.

I found some old rope and a carabiner and took him for a few trial laps of the park, no video unfortunately but it tired the big lump out.

I'm not a dog person usually, but that is one ace beast, with practical uses to boot.

Might strap Meatballs to the front of me Haro for getting too & from the offy
