@princessandpup Some people cannot see past the dog laying at their feet, fat and underconditioned from lack of exercise and too many treats. While I applaud the sentiment - for most certainly I am sure they love Fluffy - their myopic view of what constitutes responsible dog/human interaction is more harmful to their dog than is the sport of mushing. If only they could get past their self-righteous attitudes and see how much the dogs love what they do, I expect their thoughts would change.

[normalguyable]

stop torturing these innoecent animals with your perverted sport!

[theprincessandpup]

@normalguyable How is it perverted if thats WHAT the traditional breed of the DOG is, Huskys were NEVER meant to be kept as pets do your research. and they sure LOOK like EVIL people getting kisses from their dogs. The barking and keening and whining is because THEY are READY to go

[irundogs]

Hit the wrong key... I meant to continue: linebreeding breeds uncles to nieces, inbreeding breeds fathers to daughters.

[irundogs]

@bananaphone27: linebreeding is the breeding of dogs with common ancestors while inbreeding is the breeding of dogs with many close ancestors. Linebreeding-

[irundogs]

@pinz2022. No, Iditarod and Quest dogs are one and the same. In fact, some run both races back to back. Hans Gatt's and Lance Mackey's teams are both examples of not only this, but winning both races in the same year, too.

Don't confuse linebreeding with inbreeding. Linebreeding is carefully planned to produce specific genetic traits and many good (sled) dogs come from this. Inbreeding is the opposite: unresearched, unplanned, often unintentional. Not a way to reliably breed a good dog.

[Bananaphone27]

@irundogs Linebreeding is inbreeding... only it is indeed planned carefully.  Still inbreeding though.

[pinz2022]

I can't help it. Every time I see a row of dog boxes with the pooches heads at the portholes I start giggling.

[Arcanineluvr]

yea true

[Arcanineluvr]

Im sorry The Iditarod is the toughest dog sled race

[solexgirl12]

Apples to oranges. They are both tough in different ways :)

[pinz2022]

@solexgirl12

Yukon Quest dogs are bred different from the Ididtadoggies, correct? A bit bigger, thicker-coated and not so obsessed with speed, yes?

I understand that after a mere thirty years or so, Iditarod dogs are showing signs of severe inbreeding. Way too much sacrificed for speed.

[pinz2022]

@Arcanineluvr

I for one, will never forgive Joe Sr. for not making the Iditarod a relay event (like the original mail route after all) A whole hell of a lot of carnage could have been avoided and it would have added an extra challenge of having to breed and train dog teams that would perform for different drivers.

[Arcanineluvr]

@pinz2022 oh didnt know that

[Whitewolfspaw]

can you have two mushers in the same sled in this race?

[plumeria66]
