Lisa, great video. I could only watch the first few minutes (grrr.... slow internet) but Firenza certainly looks like the better trained and more confident of the two. They do match nicely when they run together and I bet by winter time you will have yourself a nice little team. Not bad at all for your first scooter run, hope you had fun! Also impressed with the fact that they just waited and didn't take off with the scooter when you hopped off to untangle them. :)
Thanks. :) Yes, it was fun ! Firenza, I have had since she was a puppy, and I trained her myself. She is more used to running with one other dog or by herself, so she has had more experience with that. She has not run on a dog team. Kiana had only pulled on sled dog teams before this. Both did great ! Yes, they are pretty good girls about not taking off after things or hauling the scooter away! However, if a wild rabbit, gopher or deer was in sight, I'd say all bets might be off !

I have always used the short harnesses. I like them.

The trail is just east of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The harnesses are Distance Harnesses by howlingdogalaska dot co m . I like them.
