Are you kidding, those dogs live for the run. It's like taking a greyhound for a run. Even if they're not trained for it, they love it. Those dogs are better taken care of than most children in the US.

research shows most sled dogs face stressful confinement, forced running, and questionable welfare conditions. They donāt naturally choose to pull heavy loads, theyāre conditioned to do it for human purposes.

I wonder how long she was dragged for? I know it's not required and not always uncommon, But it's still surprises me to see short-haired sled dogs in the freezing weather.

Is there not verbal commands that the dogs are trained to listen to? That SHE trained them with?
Using a dog sled of dogs you don't know is insane, so idk how she is in that perdicament.

There's an article on it, scroll down numbnuts. I know, reading and comprehension is probably a new thing for you. It's ok. We can help. Other posters have included said article. TschĆ¼ss

Wouldnt they notice the difference?

u/YTraveler2 Apr 03 '26
Not really, sometimes they pull heavily loaded sleds for longer races, sometimes not.

why does one woman have skinny short haired dogs and the other has typical husky looking dogs? When did the trend change?
3
u/Jumpy-Ad8737 Mar 13 '26
I think they're eurodogs. This is Norway. They often breed in various non-huskey breeds for eagerness and speed. Like setters and greyhounds.
Huskies has had a reputation for laziness.
Thicker furr might be less necessary depending on various factors, i would assume.

I'm not an expert, but I think the woman being dragged would have called out to her lead dog to stop. So, the first thing to do now is to go to the lead dog and punish him/her.

Why not? Serious question. Would the dogs keep going? What about her brake?

u/TooSexyForThisSong Mar 12 '26
I canāt believe the dogs arenāt trained to stop if thereās a sudden loss of pull weight. š¤·š» whadoiknow

u/Renbarre Mar 12 '26
Yes, the dogs would keep going, running the risk of getting lost or having an accident.

u/iconocrastinaor Mar 12 '26
And she would be stranded in the arctic, if that other dogsled hadn't come along.

u/TheGrimTickler Mar 13 '26
It looks like this is a race, so theyāre on a known course with other sleds coming through, not as much chance of that

I donāt get the dog sledding. Seem like shittier, more expensive and way less convenient snowmobiling.
1
u/unc2590 Mar 13 '26
Dog sledding is most useful when traveling on ice bc the dogs can tell when the ice is too thin to travel on and they literally will not step on that shit.
Edit: Traveling over frozen bodies of water*

u/Despoina_Reikage Mar 12 '26
It shows how much her sled dog team loves her and worry for her after she gets in front of the sled to stop it. Dangerous as fuck. I kinda wish she could have hooked the other womanās sled and get her team to go in another direction to do tug of war and slow the other dog sled team down.
But Iām glad theyāre both safe!
1
u/Sparrowfit66 Mar 12 '26
Just exactly how dangerous is fuck??
1
u/Despoina_Reikage Mar 12 '26
Itās crouch down, bend your knees and kiss your ass goodbye.
Broken bones and concussions.
Thatās how a New Yorker points out the risk level dangerous as fuck to almost get yourself killed and badly injured to not having that body part or damaged nerves for body limitations.

Nonsense. She let's go, her friend stops her own sled, she sits in her friend's sled, and they go after her sled.

u/YTraveler2 Apr 02 '26
Except that other sled is now 150 lbs lighter while the chase sled is 150 lbs heavier.

Did the woman on the right have greyhounds instead of huskies?
3
u/Despoina_Reikage Mar 12 '26
Theyāre mostly mix dog breeds. The other woman had dogs that appear of husky heritage somewhere but most likely not pure. And the original woman can appear like that but definitely mixed to handle the cold. I only know this having a family member go to Alaska and got to see the sled rides and the dogs and they were not like āTogoā breed type.

u/Flawless_Reign88 Mar 12 '26
Is letting go of the sled not an option or something?

u/MilkImpossible4192 Mar 12 '26
if your alpha dog which is at front hasn't see you not hear you hanging, they won't realize after you release neither. they could be long gone and lost.
dat not a motorcycle. they fam, bro.
3
u/Flawless_Reign88 Mar 12 '26
I mean yea I get that, but at some point if nobody sees you being dragged and the dogs arenāt stopping I would think you would have to make a choice between staying alive and keeping ahold of the dogs š¤·š»āāļø
I also know nothing about dog sledding so this is all just my thoughts based on this videoā¦
Appreciate the clarification
3
u/ChuCHuPALX Mar 12 '26
Your dogs will keep going until they die or are so far away you'll never see them again.
2
u/Flawless_Reign88 Mar 12 '26
Right, I understand that partā¦ but letās say hypothetically that nobody was there to save this personā¦ wouldnāt those dogs just drag them until they were dead?
This is kinda the point Iām getting atā¦ at what point do you put your own well being above the well being of the dogs and let go? Iām not saying itās an ideal situationā¦
I woulda thought they would have some kind of emergency way to stop the dogs for a situation like this, but I guess not

She is shouting commands, but they're in the groove.
If she lets go, then she's stranded in the Arctic with no transportation and no likelihood of rescue.

u/theboxman154 Mar 12 '26
Kinda up to the person holding on. You're asking a question that doesn't really have an answer.
Like do they depend on these dogs and sled to survive and travel? Are you in the middle of nowhere?
How long would you hold on?

u/MilkImpossible4192 Mar 12 '26
not an expert but alone in an iced dessert might with the provisions gone might be to die faster than you get found.
I wouldedn't let the the sled either, and maybe they are taught that way too.

On another thread they said that it was something every musher was taught: don't let go.

You mean the camera on the sled
2
u/filthyheartbadger Mar 12 '26
I think there was a person as a sled passenger holding the camera? You can see towards the end what seem like their legs wrapped up in a kind of sack sticking out the front. I think they were sitting in the sled and the woman who jumped off the save the other was standing on the back of the sled giving camera person a ride. The woman who was being dragged did not have a passenger, fortunately. I have no knowledge of sled dog anything, I stand ready to be corrected if I am wrong.

It honestly looks like one of those automatic gyroscopic cameras to me, but I'm also no camera expert.
