    Thanks! My husky ran with a team on expeditions, she's been pulling me on a plastic sled so I can see if she can run alone, she's doing pretty well but wants to veer off into the woods. She was a point dog so that might help, but I want a lead dog so it's easier for her. I also have a Golden Retriever but he probably wouldn't pull because he's 9 and is sort of scared of sleds. I guess I'll have to talk my parents into getting another Polar Husky, LOL.
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks *sled_dog* for the siggy!!

    An experienced leader would be a great addition. Sleet was given to me when I was just starting out. I had a four dog team at the time. Somedays I think we'd still be sitting in the driveway, one big tangled up mess, if it hadn't been for Sleet. She's retired now, but she taught me a ton of stuff, and taught my other dogs too. No one teaches another dog what's expected of them like another dog!

    Check out the Second Chance League in Fairbanks,AK--nothing but rescued trained sled dogs and I've heard they will work to get a dog to the right family! They are on Petfinder.

    I would say an experienced leader would be great too . I have to say that when I started sledding the best teacher I had were my lead dog(s)!
