Do the dogs like pulling?
Absolutely! The dogs have been born and bred to pull for thousands of years. Sled dogs don’t know how to catch a frisbee or fetch a stick like labs and retrievers. Their play time is when they are running. Working together in the teams is an instinct believed to be related to the instinct that wolves have to hunt and travel together in packs. As other breeds have been mixed into the Alaskan Husky lines, the desire to pull and run has been strengthened along with the dogs’ athletic ability and friendly disposition.
