Post by: dogboy on March 11, 2011, 05:13:17 PM
Video of a famous sprint dog musher free running his dogs:

...loose dog on trail, urban road crossings, the works.  I've seen this video before but it just surfaced again.  Pretty amazing imo.

That is amazing.  I want to see his dogs run past a chicken without becoming distracted and chasing it.

Because according to Sebastian, Chickens are the most fun amazing squeak toy EVER...

Hehe well, if it could be done, he's the guy that could do it:)

But i think it also has to do with the very nature of his pointer crosses. Alaskan huskies are just different. Much more independent. Much more in to killing things:)

But yeah, pretty incredible display of control
