That's how I started her out. She was real good at it but developed a cough. I couldn't fit her into a real pulling harness because she is too small. It was a blast while it lasted and I enjoyed passing ski team racers on the climb.
Dog (Chillie) is a reversion to Airedales from over a century ago. Grandfather had one my dad's side grew up with. Today they are often AKC reformed into a square breadbox for show. This line came from breeders in Idaho and Tennessee for hunting game as originally intended in Europe. No body alterations or conformity to AKC. Jumps a 5' snowbank in one leap and finds 3' of snow and cold fun.
