I talked a "sledder" the other day while at Costco. She has three Malmutes. She lives in a suburb and her dogs are permited to "run" when they go "up north". Sled dogs are famous for "running away".....she has a female who collects the other dogs when running off leash is over. Her little girl told me....come to my house we'll give you a ride. Cute.
