I hope I'm Ok here. You can tell me to buggar off if you like.

I don't own a husky but found this site through searching Bikejoring which I am taking up with my two gundogs. I hope to learn more. They are being trained up as working gundogs but bikejoring is an activity I can do with them that keeps them fit when the season is over but doesn't collide with any commands they know. Also because my OH is on tour to Afghanistan this year and he normally takes them for 6 mile + runs when he is home from camp. I don't do running I used to cycle with my Collie x every Sunday after my morning chores and we would go upto 20 miles or so. We did this until she was 8. The OH continued running her but her elbow is giving way to arthritis now so he only takes her for short jogs now.

Anyway getting back on point. (I can make a bikejoring thread in a mo)

I'm Aimee. I live in Nottingham in the UK. I live in a little semi-rural village. I'm 21. I own 5 dogs.

This is me with my lot.



L-R

Sadie - 11 year old Collie x Jack Russell, Pennie - 1 year old Springer x Lab, Me , Louie - 3 year old (in may) Springer x Lab (Lou and Pen are half brother and sister), Jack - 10 year old GSD/Staffie/Lab mix (Foster dog) and Last but certainly not least, Benjie - 9 year old GSD mix.

So thats us and I will post about Bikejoring now.

You are more than welcome here and I'm happy you found our little corner of the interwebs.

Having a Husky, or northern breed, is in no way a requirement to post here and we try and encourage everyone to join in.

Welcome to the boards! You have a beautiful pack and I hope you can find, and share, what ever you want... Especially anything about joring

Have fun,
~Chris~

Welcome!!! What a crew you have there!

Thank you - I wasn't sure. Some forums can be a bit funny. I joined a shooting one but because I don't actually shoot myself they were less than welcoming. Especially when I put photos up of the Clowns (Lou and Pen's collective name) retrieving. They saw it as me playing about rather than actually training... Gundog folk are a tad strange.. the older ones anyway.

Well we speculate - she was advertised as Lab x collie but there's not an ounce of lab in her. Now and again we see a hint of Staffie. Best £5/ $7 ever spent.
