Running dogs in -30s vs plus temperatures 🤭

🥾It’s definitely a whole new experience not having to “dress properly” to go mushing (on the right I’m literally in my fall hiking gear 🤭).

Mushing in such warm temperatures has been an adjustment: In general our runs have been shorter, we learned once more the importance of souping and we’re accepting that the conditions are not always perfect (We rather put up with poor conditions than not doing what we love!).
Keep in mind; our dogs are all from the North and built for COLD temperatures.

Being able to come to a full stop and have control over your team is a must. Poor conditions mean we can’t put a snowhook in and the breaks don’t get enough grip to slow down/come to a full stop; for those reasons we find running smaller teams works really well.

And since we enjoy mushing as a family we’re used to splitting the dogs amongst all of us anyways.

Have you had to make adjustments to activities you’ve been enjoying for years? Pros , cons, challenges, benefits..?

Today we received a very special Christmas card from our dear friend . Every year she sends out incredible cards, in the last years with one of her paintings.

This years card was especially special to us..This painting is not just any painting. It’s a painting inspired by a picture of my team and myself from a few years ago - our first run of that season, on a frozen lake in the Northwest Territories, on a beautiful November day, probably around -25 to -30 ish.

The original canvas of the picture was sold at a gallery in Yellowknife.

It definitely made me tear up a bit to see a painting of us. The details, the dogs.. it’s just incredible and so so special to me!

Becca, you’ve out done yourself yet again!
Thank you!

Merry Christmas 🎄

🫵Dogs are not machines you can plug in and expect to run perfectly. They need training. They need to be well taken care of and they need to be understood for who and what they are.

🛷 🎿 🎉 Skijoring and Kicksledding, being a musher- This all sounds like a wonderful way to spend your winter days.
Well heck!! It IS wonderful!! It’s a dream! One of the best feelings ever
👉👉BUT 👈👈
for this to be something to enjoy over many years we need to ensure this stays fun and safe by:

❄️ Properly conditioning them!
👉Training starts BEFORE the first snow fall. Build up to the goal distance and speed SLOWLY! Work that break!

❄️Understanding that this is a team effort!
👉Your involvement is required too.

❄️Properly fuelling / hydrating them.
👉To perform well we need to be on a good diet.

❄️Using the right gear.
👉Pulling on a collar or anti pulling harness can cause injuries and discomfort.
👉Different dogs and different activities require different gear!

❄️Being flexible!
👉Things change and sometimes it doesn’t go as planned.
👉Always do what’s in the dog’s best interest.

❄️Teaching them to pace themselves!
👉Doing too much too soon ruins their fun, their confidence and the risk of injuries are higher!

❄️Understanding their limits!
👉There’s always signs! It is up to us to see and understand them.

❄️Understanding your dog and type of dog you have!
👉Not everything works for every dog, every dog has different strengths and weaknesses.
👉What works for others may not work for your dog!

❄️Keeping them at a healthy weight.
👉We hurt them if we run them hard when overweight or underweight!

❄️ Switch it up!
👉 Keep it fun, give them a break and keep it interesting.
