The mate and I are dog mushers and I am a skijorer and we’ll have a couple of our sled dogs with us. If folks are interested we can talk a bit about dog mushing and skijoring which is a great and inexpensive winter sport to do with your four-legged friends.
I have absolutely no idea what skijoring is but it sounds bad ass. if you’d like to host a discussion about it, just let me know what time works best for you and I’ll schedule it!
Skijoring is having a dog (or dogs) pull you on skis. It’s a hoot and you can really fly and the dogs love it.
My GSD would probably like it. Though I think I got a day of snow on my property, lol.
I’ve loved dog sledding since I was young. Used to have my golden retriever pull me around on a cobbled together ‘sled’ before I moved to the city. Fell out of it for many years but wouldn’t mind chatting and meeting someone who actually mushes.
Skijoring is a fairly easy sport to get into without a lot of money if you live somewhere you can cross-country ski. I know of a professional Sibe musher who lives in Bend.
Short answer, yes. Are you bringing a warm-weather scooter-sled?
I don’t think we are because I don’t think we have one! I may be able to borrow one from a friend but we don’t run dogs in the summer because it’s usually too warm.
You want to put us on for Friday afternoon? I think that’d work pretty good.
After lunch would be better.
