Hello, Looking forward to sharing info, and learning more and having someones to commisserate with. We run mid and long distance and have 18 malamutes and 10 Alaskans, and 1 yorky. My hubby is a retired quest musher, I'm still a wanna be in training. But I want my racing to be with mals. Training so far this year has been with the fourwheeler, it's been cold (0 to -30) all November, but only three inches of snow. Dogs have about 400 miles on them at this time, and the miles have been very hard on us. Dogs are happy. Does any one else on the list run malamutes? Thanks for listening. Gidget Hagan (malcrazy).
