This is Amy our Border Collie/ Australian Shepard mix. She is going to be 11 in December and is the BEST dog. Still acts like a puppy.
And this is Chloe. A PW Corgi. Has many issues and also 2 hips with Dysplasia, which has caused 3 of her feet to become deformed on her. This pic was taken before that got bad. She is 7.

Hurray for mushing! I used to love watching mushing when I was growing up in Alaska. Now that I live in southern California
, I do urban mushing with my greater swiss mix. I have started training my shepherd mix as well but he is still too young to start pulling. Every weekend I run with group called Southern California Working Snow Dogs. My dog is usually the only non-snow dog there, but he loves it!
Thank you rizq. Blitzy, the dog on the right is an incredible dog who has finished a few 1000 mile races as well as many 100-500mile races. She has finished every single race and training run she has ever started without ever having an injury. Her daughter is the pooch on the left and although she is not quite everything her mother is she is showing a lot of promise.
PotterWatch, I think that is great that you mush too. It is such a good way for dogs to get REAL exercise and to have a feeling of purpose. I truely believe all dogs need to work to be balanced and happy. All dogs can be trained to pull and they get so much enjoyment out of it. Hooray for mushing!
That is awesome! I used to think mushing would be so much fun, but I just am not much of a fan of snow and HATE cold, lol. Now I live in TN so not much mushing opportunity. I am planning on doing Schuhtzund with Heida, Jenna always had so much fun working and Heida needs it ... she is a wild child!
