Oh no <G>, not what is asked of them! They just love to
goooooooooooooooooooooo because it pleases THEM! If you've ever tried to
train a Huskie or
similar breed, you'll know what I mean.
In fact, Huskie owners have a joke, "what do you call a Huskie when its
leash breaks???...GONE!" (Our family owned a Huskie once that lived to be
16; crazy dog, hard to train, not at all spooky, she just lived to please
herself...you see VERY few in obedience <G>.)
I remember a sled dog ride in Alberta Canada...these where Huskies,
Malamutes and mixes, (and I think there's some truth to their bitches being
staked out when in season and bred by wolfs...)...anyhoooo...the sled was
CHAINED to a sapling tree....one by one the dogs were put in harness. The
barking, carrying on and straining against the harness was something to see,
smaller dogs in front, powerful Malamutes towards the back...and a bitch in
season named Wendy in front, lol.....the tree was almost on the ground by the
time they were in harness. When we were in the sled, musher standing on
the back and that chain released, he could NOT have stopped them for love nor
money for the first many miles of trail. Thank God we didn't fall out or
I'd probably still be in the woods in Alberta <VBG>.
It was a lot of fun...good memory...thanks!
