Love to see it! The other dog fur yarns I've felt were mixed with a bit of sheep's wool to make spinning easier so it's fun to see a 100% dog yarn. I've read about the indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest Coast who had dogs they bred for their wooly fur that they sheared and spun into yarn to used for clothing. These dogs were apparently kept on their own islands to separate them from other dogs to ensure that there was a population of these wooly dogs available. There isn't any archaeological evidence to support this but there is a preserved wooly dog pelt kept in a museum.

Adding in sheep wool will certainly make the yarn stronger and much easier to spin!

I play a game with my dogs called "Gee Paw Haw Paw" It is the simple trick of teaching the dog to shake a paw but with a twist where they learn which paw to offer for the shake. That is how they learn all about going Gee or Haw when they start sledding.

My neighbor's husky had puppies, i never saw the dad but they told me it was a black lab/ cattle dog, i took in one of them and hes 7 months now looks SOOO much like the lead dog on the left, black /tan/white with pointy ears i think he is mostly Husky/ cattle dog

Would you ever use a stick harness for mushing? Or just for weight training?

What do you mean by "swinging the team into the correct turn". Still learning all the language/logic of mushing! 😁
@ChasingTheWolves3 ай бұрын
They help just make the team turn cleanly, and sort of ‘swing’ them into the correct position. If you take turns too tight, you run into your wheel dogs and rig ending up in the corner

I would recommend doing a custom harness for them! If you’re doing carting you’ll need a different harness than you’d need for sledding or bikejoring.

Oh, how I can relate to this. On a sled run with four Siberians my team actually became detached from the sled and took off without me. I almost caught them on foot but with a burst of speed they were gone up a steep hill and around a corner out of sight. I knew the trail had some steep drops off the edge and I worried they would go over. I chased in the snow for about ten minutes when suddenly they came back around another curve totally unharmed. What a relief! My lead dog Dante had turned the team around and brought them back. I took them back down to the bottom of the hill. They thought they were done. But NO! I hitched them back to the sled and up the hill we went again. Mushertom in CT.

@AK_-xn1fm7 ай бұрын
No. Obviously if the owners overworked then it would be abuse but I’m assuming they’re using the dogs like any other work dogs. All they’re doing is pulling whatever it is they’re pulling. Plus having all those dogs pulling at the same time makes it not actually that hard for each dog to pull since they’re all helping each other pull the weight.
@AK_-xn1fm7 ай бұрын
If you look at some of the other shorts they actively train the dogs to be strong and pull things with weight training. So this is pretty much the dogs’ normal everyday thing.

Can someone please explain how to get my dog to pull I’ve looked at at least 100 videos today and every single video talks about how to stop them from pulling it is not that hard that’s what they were bred for anyways, to pull sleds but everybody wants to talk to be nice and perfect, and not able to have any fun I just bought rollerblades a couple days ago and he’s too afraid to Poll and I constantly tell him the commands to Poll and he won’t. There’s no video I want to teach my husky even though how do you specifically what they were bred to do is pull things more or less
@ChasingTheWolves6 ай бұрын
Some dogs just naturally don’t pull, and that’s okay! You can do a lot of counter conditioning with treats in front of them to try and get them to pull, but not every dog is made for these sports. That’s okay though, you can always get a bungee style leash and have them beside you as you roller blade!

I have a question, maybe do a video about it and explain it?? But dose your dogs know the difference between "WORK" AND " GOING FOR JUST WALKING ON A LEASH" HOW CAN YOU EXPLAIN OR TEACH?
@ChasingTheWolves6 ай бұрын
My house dogs can all loose leash walk, however the outside sled dogs have not been taught this. But all dogs *can* be taught the difference. I use collars for walks and harnesses for pulling. I do loose leash training as you would with any dog, and then just allow them to pull in harness. It just takes a lot of reinforcement, but they can do it 🙂

Could a competition weight pulling harness also be used for the dog to pull me on a cart/wagon?
@ChasingTheWolves6 ай бұрын
Weight pull harnesses are designed to be used with a really low attachment point. If the cart/wagon can be attached to the gangline low, it would probably be okay for recreational stuff, however I really do recommend a harness that’ll be specific to the type of work your dog is doing.

I would recommend an x back or halfback style harness, and use a ‘safety line’ (a short line with snaps on either end) attached to both the collar and the harness, this way if they back out of the harness, they are still attached with the safety line.
