I went to a dryland race this weekend. First race I've participated in! I entered 2 dog bikejoring and came in 11th out of 13, but I had a lot of fun and got to hang out with some really cool people.

The dryland rig classes were loud and exciting. Here's some video of the start.

“an "alaskan husky" is generally any sleddog that can trace it's heritage back to the northern indian village dog - ( the indian village dog is classed as a "landrace" dog, in other words, developed on it's own for the environmental conditions it lives in rather than human influence to develop a breed ) - breeders have experimented with many crosses to develop speed and endurance ( in other words, a canine hotrod ) perhaps the two most popular crosses for sprint racing today are german shorthair pointer crosses and saluki crosses - both crosses add speed and endurance and are the crosses that have been winning most of the big races for several years now - both types of crosses and some other crosses are born with a higher than normal red cell count, which is one of the reasons their endurance is so good - I've had saluki crosses for many years, and it's only recently that I acquired some german short hair crosses - I'm starting to notice some important differences between the two types of dogs - THE GOOD - the german shorthairs tend to be sweet gentle dogs that get along well with other dogs and bond strongly with their owners - you can often see kennel owners at the races or on their way to the races, "loose drop" ( let the dogs out of the truck to pee, move their bowels, or be fed or watered ) and the dogs stay close to their truck, mingling and playing with each other - groups of the short hairs can generally be taken for loose walks in weather that's too warm for mushing - nice easy dogs to handle - - - - The saluki crosses bond strongly with "their" people, have super tough feet, deal well with cold weather, are seldom injured and maintain extremely good health late into old age - - - - The NOT SO GOOD - the german shorthair crosses are inclined to have feet that are not so tough and hair that can attract snowballs between the pads of their feet which require putting dog booties on their feet to protect them - they don't seem to deal with cold all that well, even getting frostbite on their floppy ears which calls for some ingenious ear muffs to protect their ears - the use of dog jackets is necessary for the shorthair crosses long before other crosses would need them - - - - The saluki crosses can be shy of strangers no matter how much socialisation was done when they were puppies - they can be inclined to be fighters and a lot of management is often required when putting a team of them together - small groups of selected saluki crosses can be taken for a free group outing in the summer but often only if you have an ATV or dirt bike so you can go fast enough to hold their interest, otherwise you might not see them again for several hours - as far as sleddogs go, I'd have to say the saluki crosses are likely the more dog aggressive of the various crosses - - - - -

when making the choice of which type of very fast racing alaskan huskies to get involved with, it seems to come down to the choice of what you would prefer - dogs that need babying to keep them warm and comfortable in cold weather, dog booties in many conditions where other crosses wouldn't need them, coupled with gentle natures and peaceful demeanors, or tough, strong dogs that are seldom injured, seldom need dog booties, that seem to be comfortable and happy in -20c - -25c temperatures - the speeds of the two crosses are very close, as are the desire to run and pull - great dogs come from either cross, so in my opinion, at least, the choice is up to the kennel owner as to which cross suits their own nature and personality better”

I love Alaskan huskies because they are so interesting-- they are bred solely for two things: To run fast, and to run forever. For this reason, they are often outcrossed with sighthounds and pointers to improve their ability to race.

I follow several mushers on Facebook and it’s always interesting when they start talking about crosses. In one discussion, Al Magaw spoke about how he outcrossed his own stock to dalmatians for speed and Anatolians for endurance. He has a lot of experience with mushing and breeding, so I always like when he starts talking about the makeup of his dogs.
