ATV! There better for dirt road/off road training em when there's no snow.
Scooter is good for 1on1 training.

I think he means fat from meat. Oil fat like what you use for cooking does do the same. I just de-bone then freeze. They love it frozen.

I don't know much about sibs but the goal weight for a healthy Alaskan is 40-55lb. However that doesn't mean if you have a heavier dog he or she won't do well. Meringue is only 36lb and is awesome. The main thing is if you have a heavy dog, make sure it's muscle and not fat. Dogs that are fat (Often like pet dogs) are at risk for joint problems. The extra weight pushes against the joints and hurts the joints. 

My dogs eat natural oils now and then (Like some from fish) but not alot. My 4-h dog(s) get some sunflower oil or vegetable oil in their food to make their coats shinny.

We do that with horses, too; give them oil to make them shinny. Anyways, like RezChamp said before, the Alaskans vary a lot. I guess I want dogs somewhere around that weight. Joint problems =

Alaskans are pretty constant with weight. My friend runs a team that are between 45 and 55lb. not that large of a range since its either fur of muscle.
