@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 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

[normalguyable]

stop torturing these innoecent animals with your perverted sport!

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

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

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

@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.
