The Siberan Husky is a working dog that is best known for its wolf like appearance and its role in pulling sleds over the frozen land. Bred and raised by Siberian nomads called Chukchi, they were fast and economical transportation for thousands of years.
The breed was quick and could master most if not every terrain. Their strength would lie in numbers when packs would work as a team in pulling sleds and covering great distances with minimal need of food. By 1908, the dog was introduced in Alaska word had gotten loose that there was a superior type of sled dog. In 1909, Siberian Huskies made its debut in the All Alaska Sweepstake Race. It is said that the average weight a Husky can pull on its own would be equivalent to its own weight. So if the dog weighed 60 pounds it should have the strength to pull approximately 60 pounds.
FOCUS your dogs energy! Your both going to the same place so why not work together as a team. Check out these new dog pulling rigs. You’ve seen people having their dog pull them on sleds, carts, bicycles, skateboards, rollerblades, etc. and QUESTION the controllability and safety of the method, due to fact that the dog is out in front on a line and only under voice command.
Well these new designs are different in that the dog is harnessed into the SIDE/REAR of a kick scooter and or “tadpole” trike designs with 2 wheels in front for powerful steering and braking.. So the dog has to follow the rig thru the turns and is subect to its brakes. This gives the rider the directional and speed control to make “mushing” appropriate on urban/conjested sidewalks, bikepaths and trails and eliminates the extensive dog training need with the traditional “dog out front” pulling methods. It allows the dog to get all the exercise they want/need yet keeps him under complete control (the rigging/bar will only let the dog go forward, they cannot turn the shoulders and pull to the side) even better and easier than a leash. The location and the way the dog is harnessed into the rig was designed to be neutral to the units handling, and place no weight on the dog, and is very easy to ride by young and old. Yet requires some skill and offers enough excitement and exercise for the rider (you do need to help the dog up the hills and can do all or any percentage of the work) that its a real sport. The care of the dog (canine motivation, rider/dog weight ratio limits, hydration, paw inspection, etc.) gives this sport further depth and satisfaction. Most healthy, confident, young and driven dogs get over the “fear” of being next to wheels and the restricted side to side movement in one session-but some may be more spooked and take repeated sessions. This is a relatively quick and strait forward task compared to teaching the voice commands necessary with the “dog out front” method, which even then doesn’t compare to the precision steering offered with these designs. The system is vertically adjustible for a range of dogs and a “tall” outrigger is available for the giant breeds. The dog can also sit while hooked into the trike and scooter- and even ly down while in the scooter.
Single, double and triple dog units (side by side or both on same side) are available. The single scooter starts at $555 which includes the high quality scooter, outrigger bar & shock absorbing rigging, wheel cover, harness and shipping in the lower 48 U.S.. The trikes are more money of course but totally stable. Its a great way to get to the dog park or trailhead where you can let your doggy out of the system to free play, swim, etc.

The Siberian Husky has been used to herd Reindeer, in Siberia for 3000 years.
Bi-eyed? What does that mean? Well, the eyes of Siberian Huskies are most often brown or blue in general, but sometimes one eye can be blue, and the other eye can be brown! This phenomenon is called parti-colored eyes by Siberian Husky enthusiasts. This trait is not seen as a fault by the American Kennel Club, and neither is it a basis for disqualitifcation in shows. The beautiful eyes of the Siberian Husky are an almond shape (that Sophia Loren would be envious of!). They are moderately spaced and set slightly obliquely. Huskies may also be prone to an eye condition in which one iris is a different color from the other. This is called Heterochromia. This can be seen as partial or total heterochromia. The cause is rather simple: It is a result of an excess or lack of pigment within the iris or part of an iris. This is genetically inherited; due to mosaicism, or can be acquired by disease or injury. This characteristic doesn’t make the breed any less beautiful….only more unique!
