Americano Blue's musher/mushing chat thread

How do you do that?

First of all, you need an x-back harness, gang line, a bike, cart, or scooter.

You could pay someone if they're driving from there to where you are. My mom does that sometimes with horses. When we go to Boise every year, we sometimes haul people's horses and they pay $___ to help pay for gas. On another note, I looked on that website and found 2 husky/lab males that are a couple months old, right age to start training. Then a husky/terrier mix female puppy. All 3 in my hometown. Here are the links, tell me what you think.

Yeah, they look like typical strays. They could use some grooming and maybe they need worming too. Mimi is adorable. The other two are older by a few months so I could start training now, instead of just little stuff like I'd have to do with Mimi.

He's so darn cute! Haha all puppies are, really. He is gettin big, though.

Just checking. I don't know why your mom would worry. I ran a 6 year old before (Griz) and usually they retire at 5 

Wow. Some dogs retire early eh. Not mine man. They work till they're old.
Okimaw still pulled lead at 14-15, the winter before the winter he had a stroke.
Regal is 10 and he still is my rock in team, Max is 7 and he's only learning to be a working husky, Pipoon is 8 and working team, Burner is a litter mate to Pipon and going strong in lead.
Mind you, these are not racing dogs. They're working dogs. A tad more resilient, just me and my dad, LOL.

He ran the Iditarod and had something wrong that made him limp so he got retired. When I got him, I could still run him and he was never bothered by his leg.
