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

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.
Sure, a skijoring line is about 7 feet long, has a bungy at one end to absorb shocks and bumps. Usually you would have on a special belt and be cross country skiing behind the dog. In this case, get a big clip/carbinger and snap it on to the front of your ATV.

My team training on the ATV in October 04.

If you go to this website and scroll way down the page, you'll see picture of the lines. Howling Dog is a reputable supplier too, if you can't find such things near you.

You're unlikely to find a musher who will just put a dog in their team, but there's no reason why he couldn't be a skijoring dog on his own. It's fun for both dog and human!

Me and Raven coming in to the finish line of our first skijoring race a couple years ago.
