Glacier, would you mind telling me more about those lines? It sounds very promising.

I just got back from a 4-wheeler run with him. I had my friend drive, and I rode behind him holding the leash, so that I could watch him carefully and let go if necessary. Max ran beside the 4-wheeler and didn't get behind it at all.

He must be getting a little out of shape because he only went 2 miles at 17-20 mph. Usually he'll go at least 10.

Anyway - I thought I had him properly pooped, but he managed to bolt as soon as we got home. He's back now, only gone a few minutes. Maybe he was too tired to stay out long.

I think that, if those lines are safer, 4-wheeling may be the way to go.

Maybe I should sign him up for somebody's sled dog team in the winter, LOL. There's lots of dog sledding up here, but the dogs are much smaller than Max. I guess he'd be too big.
