Americano Blue's musher/mushing chat thread

I fully agree. Wait till at least 8 weeks. At least.
Thanks Blue for getting documented back-up. Sadly sometimes that's all people will heed.

I wait until 6 months to get dogs. Sled dogs or pets.

SternRose.
Nala does not look fat. I can see her UBS in them pics. She is big though. Coming along quite nicely.
Please do not change her diet abruptly. It could really meets up everything.
If there is ever a call to free feed this it. Make sure she does not have to fight off other animals, K9 or otherwise. Always always always check her food bucket. And her water bucket.
Actually I digress.....feeding her as much as she can eat often is better than free feeding. The food is always fresh when you feed often.
Kinda like keeping an open bag of bread on the counter.
Good luck young lady.

darn spell correct. I meant ribs not "UBS". Sorry.

What in tarnation is UBS anyway????!!

Hmmm. Good one.
Personally I dislike finding a dog a new home till I'm sure he or she ain't gona work out as a sleddog.
However, when my God-children or nephew or niece cry for one my cold black heart kinda warms a bit. I will let them go at about 3 months. But only if I'm promised they'll be cared for properly. CARED FOR as opposed to caring about.

Yo Blue. Been training/conditioning your dogs?
How bout you SternRose?
My dogs are overfed I think. They look like 10 gallon drums with legs. Except Ash. She's always looking skinny. Sprint dogs!!! Hmph!!!
She's a pretty dog though. I would love for Y'all to see her muscle tone .
Oops. Gots go. The bossy baby girl wants me to go lay down with her till she falls asleep.
Gtyt all. TTY 2moro.

Yeo! They are getting better at commands but they still won't do "Gee!" for some reason.

Lol. Our friend shot a deer so he gave me a bag of bones, fat and meat scraps. The first day they ate 1 1/2 lbs of deer bone and meat. The next day they ate deer fat and today about 1/2 b of meat plus their dry food. I still have a lot of meat left!!

Gee I wonder why? . I crack myself up....
Do you have another command that sounds the same? Or perhaps when you're in and around the dogs, working or viziting, you use another word that sounds similar?
You gota remember, dogs are NOT human. They don't eat the same as humans, they digest differently than humans, they process food differently than humans, they don't see the same as us and they don't hear like us. Dogs hear differently than humans.

Right on for your dogs with the deer meat scraps.
If you got leg bones...crack them open and take out as much marrow as you can.
I don't mean to sit there for 2 hrs with a hooked wire and dig out every scrap of it. I mean just to take what's relatively easy to get at. Feed the marrow to your dogs, or yourself if you wish, it's actually good for you. Excellent survival food. Anyway, starting with cold water over the bones, bring them to a boil and then gently simmer them for a couple hours. Let it cool to a safe operating temp then strain out the bones. All the meat and fat and what's left of the marrow in the bones can go into the strained liquid. Your dogs will love drinking this "soup". I do that with fish a lot but I do it with larger animals too. They kinda don't like pork though unless it's been roasted or fried first.
Gee, my family and I(LOL. Just used Gee again) we would have bone soup sometimes too. Of course we'd put veggies and potatoes&onion in it. I hate putting pasta in bone soup. Rice too. Yuck. Made the soup taste really bland, actually gross. And green peas. Yuck.
You don't need to add veggies or anything for your dogs though. After all they are carnivores and your already feeding them commercial dogfood with their meat.
Actually I'm guilty of doing that too. But when the big lake freezes over this winter, I'm out there... hauling in tubs of all kinds of fish for my dogs.
