Wow Henning 6-8 miles a day. That's great! Do you walk all 4 on a gangline attached to your waist? Miss seeing everyone at Fairview lately. Hope all is well.
@spalombo We're dong fine. Since two of my "girls' are retired from running, we haven't done Fairview in a while. Yes, I walk them on a 4 dog gangline with a mushers belt. I've walked up to six this way. Works great for command and distraction training.
@ALVARADOCOMPTON Vacuum as often as possible. Huskies shed a lot, there's no way around it. I don't get upset about dog hair in the house. It's part of owning one of those furries ;-)
@heylookimfat It depends on the temperatures, but somewhere between 6-8 miles per day if I take all 4. If I only take Silver, we go on very long hikes (assuming I have the time) and have done 12-20 miles.

Those are some great looking huskies. How many miles do you take them out for each day?

@HenningCA Thanks! So three 2 mile walking hikes would be sufficient for a husky if you didn't have time for a longer one?

@heylookimfat It depends on your dog, age, physical fitness etc
