Carting Fun


With the assistance of some of our Alaskan Malamute friends (many thanks to Robin of Poker Flat Alaskan Malamutes),
we've enjoyed a new venue, off-season sledding (or carting).

Although Nyea is an excellent lead dog, we've found that a "fan hitch" (typically used
for crossing over frozen lakes so as to prevent the loss of the whole team if one dog were to fall through the ice) over a more traditional "gangline hitch" (seen in the first photos) suits our "team" best.
Our dogs tend to run more contently in a side-by-side formation, instead of wheel or team dogs following a lead dog.
With some more road work in the warmer months, we hope to refine our skills and eventually expand this activity
to it's intended winter venue... ridgebacks and sledding, here we come?
