Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| How fun, congrats on the new leader! The one in the last picture on the right (Seal? or Denali?) looks like a cross between my Frosti and Sara's Elara! Adorable! I believe Elara is related to Winnie the racing dog (Huskavarna's Destined To Win), who looks similar, too! What a good lookin' team! You've collected almost all the colors! They look like they're loving it! |

| Thank you! We are assembling quite the variety of team colors here that is for sure! We're off to a new trail tomorrow with our new lead and Denali back from injury leave. We'll see how it works The team from lead to wheel last pic- Mason, Denali Juneau Seal, Dakota Denali is Kaniska Siberians, Seal is of Ziemabora through Galena Creek, and Mason is Tumnatki, Juneau and Dakota were BYB pets (our first ever Siberians) but enjoy it just as much as the others do! |

| Fun! I have no idea where mine are from, since they are rescues, and haven't seen any dogs that look like Frosti locally so always curious! All those pictures of the furry husky pants sure are adorable! |

| It has been warmer than 'normal' here. It was in the 40s this run and the bigger boys feel it a lot faster that is for sure. |

| besides the fact that my family and i love huskies and think that they are all so beautiful i wanted to get into sledding/urban mushing it looks so much fun. I found Ziggler scooters online for $500 and than need put together by bike stores. where did you buy your cart, or how did you build it? |

| kodaandme2012- I purchased my cart from a musher who had recently upgraded to a heavier one for her 6 and 8 dog teams. I would not have found it feasible to purchase one new as they are in the $1k range. These carts are not intended for less than 3 dogs, ideally 4-6 dog teams. If you are running any less than 3 you need to be looking at scooters like the Diggler or biking. |

| i had looked into a diggler alpha scooter with disc brakes, looked awesome. but when i saw the cart i thought it was cool. but your right that price is high and i dont have enough dogs for a cart, thank you so much for the tips, in january or february i will be starting puppy preschool hope there will be other sled dogs, or maybe a trainer that knows people who do the urban mushing so i can get some help getting into it |

| Just a side note that you should not work your puppy in harness until 15-18 months of age. To do so solo working can cause sever damage to the growth plates. |
