Chickentrain's Dog Q&A

Malamutes, especially males, can have some same sex aggression tendencies (idk about huskies or akitas), so that could also bar you from competition, but of course not just fun practice!

Akitas might be as well, might need to look in to that

I mostly want to do dryland mushing, maybe a bit of agility for fun. No need for a dog who is a amazing at it, just one who will have fun with me

I don't know anything about mushing....does dryland mushing mean no snow?

Yes. Canicross is a type of dryland mushing, as well as bikejoring, scootering and using a sled type thing with wheels.

Probably a scooter or the sled type thing not sure yet. The sled would be more sturdy but would be larger, scooter would be smaller but less sturdy. I am trying to go somewhere to try it first and see if I even like mushing.

I like the carts as well, but that needs a bigger dog then I will probably end up with

That's probably a good idea

A malamute could probably do draft. I'd like to get into it with bernese mountain dog/s

A bit worried about malamutes since I have a dog all ready, and we want another female. Maybe a Leonberger, but then again I really want another spitz
I need too many dogs

What kind of dog do you have now?

I don't know much about leonbergers. They interest me because they're big but not drooly, but I haven't done much research

malamute might work as a second dog. Samoyed, maybe?? They're herders, though.

Sammmmmeeeee

Ooh! ooh! Laikas!!!!

They're pretty medium, but they're apparently more trainable than some other spitzes and they're sled pullers
