2017 NW EMMYS: Documentary - Topical

[@shelbyindianajones3226]

Every dog there is a winner...much respect to all the owners for giving these dogs a chance to do what they love

[@corazonkatigbak8563]

I'm fascinated with the documentation of this great race, watched it several times, the personal account stories of the mushers and commentaries including the landscape of snow and craggy mountains all tell a wonderful experience with nature, men and the iconic sled dogs. Congratulations!

This made me sad...they all say it is about 'winning' which means not thinking about the health and well being of the dog. I am a long distance horse back rider...endurance...and the motto is 'to finish is to win'...the welfare of the horse is the most important. I wish the same were true here!!

[@doggodoggo3000]

why is it different when you do it with a horse. genuinely curious i didn't know that was a thing in the horse world. sounds a bit extreme. I work in sled dog racing and wrote a thing www.reddit.com/r/dogs/comments/japt8w/discussion_so_i_work_in_sled_dog_racing/?context=3

[@doggodoggo3000]

not judging genuinely curious.

[@holyfox94]

These mushers care very much about their dogs. Otherwise sled dogs don’t run. They lay down and strike. There’s also a trophy in this race for the best dog care taker. The documentary should have shown these aspects too. Especially in these time of internet shitstorms, Peta fundamentalists and whatnot activists.

[@gertrudestomkin]

the dogs health is the most important

[@milo365baseball]

The dog's safety is number 1. always.

[@doggodoggo3000]

Theres only a few hundred mushers in the world and its really just competitive dog hoarding. Winning the Iditarod is like working to become the king of a mountain of dirt and dog shit.

[@thecjtalker2659]

Who cares

[@BlackWarriorLures]

Obviously not you.

[@alimoe1970]

Clearly you do or you wouldn't have watched it and then commented.

[@doggodoggo3000]

fuck yea dude dog sled racing is stupid AF i wrote this www.reddit.com/r/dogs/comments/japt8w/discussion_so_i_work_in_sled_dog_racing/?context=3

@@doggodoggo3000 Not to be an absolute blowhard... but dog sled racers actually care very much about their dogs. Performance, drive, and tenacity only work with lots of training, good feed, and love. These dogs wouldn't have gotten half the way if the owners were truly abusing them. And not to be even more of a damper, but just in case you want to say that I don't know how to care for dogs, I'm no professional runner, but I do own a team of dogs and take them out for runs now and again. Love from Canada!

[@doggodoggo3000]

@@bagelcat1464 Yea sure. Its easy to love animals. Rooster fighters like their chickens too. You don't get into rooster fighting because you HATE chickens. seriously though. people think rooster fighting is this monstrous thing but its one of the oldest organized human activies and was very very common until just a few decades ago. still is in some places even in the us (kentucky). It predates written history. I totally see the appeal its not like these people are evil. Seriously watch this interview with a rooster fighter in hawaii from 2009. kzbin.info/www/bejne/np7NZqenZ7V5hc0 Saying rooster fighting is cruel isn't saying that the people who are doing it are all evil or something. "Performance, drive, and tenacity only work with lots of training, good feed, and love. " That DEFINATELY still applies to rooster fighting. Dog fighting too. Dog fighting and dog racing have more incommon than they do differences. You train fighting dogs by getting them to run. The dogs only make it about half way in the iditarod so your point kind of falls flat. only 50% of the dogs finish the dang thing. And I DID race dogs professionally. Im talking about winning races not recreational mushing. I don't give af if you mush your dogs, good for you. You start trying to win races thats another matter all together. And where'd you get your team of dogs? racing flunkies? retired racers? retired ride giving dogs? you buy some sibes? You have some friends into mushing and they pawn their crap old dogs off on you? And do thy live in kennels or on a chain most of the time or are they allowed some autonomy? If you have dogs on chains or confined to a kennel just to "take them out for runs now and again" that would be hecka gross. I can teach you how to whip your dogs to make them run faster. Mushing trick I picked up. If you whip your dog and add a verbal cue like a whislte or phrase, when you whistle or use that phrase in the future your dog remembers you whipping it and it get endorphins going and the dog runs faster. Also if you just whip a dog when its tired that also get endorphins going. That'll make the f^^^er start running again. (yea idk but the mushers i was around totally called dogs "c^^ksuckers" and "fuckers" like all the time. They even got me doing it.) but i saw the musher i work for beat a tired dog with a neck line more than once. Someone TAUGHT him that. And theres that one guy who got booted from the iditarod for whipping their entire team trail marker, and the seaveys wrote about whipping dogs in their book as well. This crap goes on and is still very much alive. I was WINNING RACES. We placed 6th at LACONIA and that was a crap run. That was the worst we did in a race the entire time i raced and it was at the "world championship" I KNOW how to win a dog race. Im NOT talking about recreational mushing. Im talking about fields of dogs living on chains. Im talking about running dogs till they poop blood and quit eating. Im talking about 3 year old dogs that have already raced two full seasons AND had a litter of puppies by the time WE are buying it to do the same freaking thing again. Canadas animals laws suck and are outdated af. Yall need to get with the times. Keep your love from canada for your self, that place sucks, yall need it more than i do.
