SheepChaser 5,162 Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 I went out and saw them dogs run. Over the years there hve been a few interesting things on here that everyone has taken the piss out of. The malamute xs and the Beddy whippets dropping good size fallow... being just two. Every one has a good piss take etc. But I actually just went and saw them run for a night. Same as the legend dogs on here, seen a few of them run to. Funny which ones turned out to actually be handy 2 Quote Link to post

sandymere 5,934 Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 I think the recent history of the husky is interesting in that as far as top class competition etc goes the traditional pure breeds like Malamutes and Siberian huskies have been overtaken by the mongrelized Alaskan husky which has a good dash of greyhound, pointer etc in their make up. A case of breeding for use against look. What Makes a Great Sled Dog? Breed, Ambition, Tough Feet WWW.NATIONALGEOGRAPHIC.COM A mixed heritage gives sled dogs their love of running, a desire to work, and a need for wild places. Quote Link to post

W. Katchum 31,849 Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 These islands seem to as snobby and you get when it comes to cross breeding our dogs for jobs. Look around the world sn you’ll see hunters use everything they can get from the dog pounds an cheap litters an all sorts of places, them they let nature an graft weed out the weak, are we an out dogs any better for it? there’s a guy in here who knows his shit, don’t think he is a big fan of them malamute crosses but I’m sure he we out with them an told truth about them an it wasn’t all bad think they might have struggled at jobs most types would struggle with but also done a lot of other jobs an quarry well, just what I can remember from on here back in the day 2 Quote Link to post

Not in the slop tho they might run plenty miles a day a good few days a wk but it’s the slop factor that counts 1 Quote Link to post
SheepChaser 5,162 Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 They were ok at what I saw them doing but no better than most decent dogs and less good than stuff bred for it from tried and tested stuff. Basically not a joke and not the next bit thing. Quote Link to post
