Wow. That is HORRIBLE.
When I saw commercials for this movie... I thought it looked unsafe and stupid, as it was. Small puppies pulling a sled? Uhhh, is that safe?
...and Corgi krazy, too!

Yeah I have to agree. Especially, golden retrievers who aren't even bred for that. Even if it were huskies, I wouldn't approve anyway.Originally Posted by bckrazy
And Taz', too
I agree with Lizbud, no one was looking out for the pups, just their wallets. Disney gets a share of the blame along with the breeders and trainers.

I'll never go see it. And yes, Disney SHOULD take part of the blame, and stick to animation. UGH!!!! Those poor dogs.

The Original M&M's
Huskies aren't the only dogs who can pull sleds. Just as Border Collies are the only dogs who can herd. Any dog can be trained to herd to some extent, and any dog can be trained to pull sled (well, except for smaller and toy sized breeds).
"Did you ever notice when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad at you?
But when you take him in a car he sticks his head out the window." -- Steve Bluestone
Providing jobs for dogs
There is a saying among mushers---"any dog can be trained to pull...ask a golden retriever to Gee and he does it. Ask a husky and he waits for the break in the trees!"
No responsible musher would let a puppy that young actually pull. Most let them run loose with the team for short runs at that age or ride in the sled. It's a great time to train them to stay in the sled. Very helpful should they ever need to be loaded in the sled for some reason in the future. At about nine months they can start to do some actual work. Between a year and 18 months they are able to do more heavy or longer runs.
If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you must find the courage to live it.

This is truly sad!!
Was it the golden puppies that were sick??
Shannon Debruin whome I plan on purchasing a siberian husky puppy from in the future, was the person who bred Hugo, the sibe pup in that movie.. She is an awesome breeder, she also had dogs in snowdogs, and in 8below..
So I am assuming it was one of the Golden breeders who brought parvo on the set?? I hope they got the virus undercontrol!! RIP sweet little pups
