Hiking Dog!
I'll be two years old in December 2007, and I'm a large (32 kg) black and white, bi-eyed siberian husky, who lives in East Anglia, UK. I was born at a bad kennel that breeds pups for profit, but my owner tries his best to give me a good life. We exercise lots together - dog walks, long hikes, and I run with a bicycle. I like the long hikes in the summer. It can be hot for me and I drink lots of water, but we travel all over the countryside - alongside rivers, through fields, across cattle meadows, marshes, and forests. My owner also likes to stop at pubs along the way ;-) I may be young, but I have walked so many miles during these hikes - one day I walked 28 miles. I have visited farms, fields, forests, towns, cities, sunday markets, sleddog races, a theme park, beaches, salt-marshes, mountains and lakes. I have ridden on trains, buses, coaches, and ferries.

During the week, I get to run. Being a typical husky, I can't be trusted off leash anymore (I run off looking for something to hunt), but my owner has a device called a springer on the side of his bike that he leashes me to, and I like to pull and run beside the bike. This winter, my owner has also started to harness me to a towline, and let me run and pull from the front of the bike through the forest. He calls it bikejoring - you can see me bikejoring on the video here! I have to be good and follow his commands to turn and stop. Sometimes though I see a squirrel or rabbit and pull my owner off the forest path! On other days we go jogging together - harnessed to a canicross belt around my owner's waist. We are going to enter our first canicross race next February, so we are training for that event. We also have a blog called The Bikejoring Blog.


Happy HikingThere are no other dogs in our household pack. There are three children - one who is disabled, but I am very gentle with him, and he loves me. I like all people, and I love ALL other dogs. I want to play with all of them - the little ones that bark at me through to the big angry ones. My best dog friends are Starr, a border collie that lives with my owner's parents, Blue, who is another siberian husky my age who lives nearby, and Thompson, a daft labrador who also lives nearby.

I like to play tug, and with my favourite rubber toys, but I think that retrieving is silly - dogs do that, not this husky! I like paddling and drinking in rivers, and looking for a chance to try to escape from my owner and go hunting. I like digging holes, and digging up molehills. I love running and pulling a bike or my jogging / hiking owner. I like to explore and have ADVENTURES! Above all, I dream of hunting - rabbits, cats, deer, squirrels, and birds. But my owner always shouts LEAVE IT! I have selective hearing....
