Good luck and have fun

While I don't really care about bloodlines, preigree's or papers. I am thankful for BYBers in some cases (if they are not puppy mills), if it was not for them I would not have found my three girls in the local pound. I have had Sibs of twenty+ years and have yet to pay the outragious prices asked by the supposed reptuable breeders, and don't have 1/8 th the problems that the high priced show dogs have with tummy issues. Just my two cents, and yes I do know this will cause a big uproar here.

Sorry the link didnt work but you should be able to type adanacsleds.com or sled dog equipment into your search engine and find it. As far as finding a place to run them, we us the bike trail that runs around Louisville with no problems. Diefunbaker Haveing done this for awhile, I have to agree with the woman you talked with. But probably for different reasons. 6 months is still way too young for them to be pulling you, their bodies are still developing and the added strain could cause back and hip problems. Some of the people I talked with before getting into bikejoring recommend waiting until at least a dog is ayear and half. In the mean time they can be placed in the harness and walked. Basic commands should be learned on lead, because you really dont want to be riding and have your husky bolt off in a different direction than you. Gee-right Haw- left Hike or yup-go Whoo-stop easy- slow gee come- come back

After that we hooked them to a wagon with a couple a bricks in it, just to get them used to pulling something. We usually did this with me being 15 to 20 feet in front (calling for encouragement) while cindi walked them on lead. Once we felt comfortable that they knew their commands and would pull a bike we hooked them up. But you still have puppys while I was training 4 year old dogs, so it should be easier for you. Plus if you can find any groups in your city they could be of more help than this thread. Have fun Shadow

Have you heard of a sport called bikejoring? It's bassically what your looking for, except the dog are in front of the bike instead of beside it. It's also more expensive thaan the springer setup. Basically it's running a sleddog team but with bikes, or carts. A single dog setup, multisport harness $25, bike stem $20, tug lines $20. I run a two dog team, and purchased all of my equipment from Adanacsled Equipment (www.adanacsled.com). Hope this helps out, oh btw, something I learned the hard way. I didn't teach my huskies basic mushing command to begin with, what a mistake that was. They went every direction but where i wanted
