Have you ever seen a sled dog when they get ready to go? They are HAPPY! They LOVE doing it.
Well said!!

This is what these dogs are born and bred to do, it's what they love and keeps them active and stimulated. I confess to never having a husky but I'm guessing like any other working breed a bored husky is a destructive husky, sleding keeps them active and stimulated. Glaciers right there will always be bad competitors, but that's not limited to sleding, you'll find that in any sport whether human or canine.
