It sounds like you have a great kennel! Everything will be fine. Imagine they are going for a few days at a "retreat" or something. And just wait till you pick her up! The sloppy wet kisses you will get will make everything ok!

Food Discussion & Information / Re: Beef (CAribou/Moose) Jerky for Dogs???
« on: April 07, 2008, 11:54:26 pm »
Thanks! I wasn't sure about what to use with the meat. I will check out the stores for a more mild flavoring than I currently have on hand. My husband's theory is just feed it to them raw and frozen (He is from above the arctic circle - the home of the sled dog and that's how he grew up). I just can't do that. We got our dehydrator at the local Walmart in the small appliance aisle. Krogers (Fred Myer) also stocks them up here. Needless to say they are very useful up here in the Last Frontier (hahahaha). Good Luck - You might also try any camping or outdoors type store - but they may be more pricey there)

Food Discussion & Information / Beef (CAribou/Moose) Jerky for Dogs???
« on: April 06, 2008, 01:43:13 am »
I make a mean caribou jerky for humans but am concerned about all the salt (pre-packaged mixes). We have quite a stock of moose and caribou that would be great for the pups - but I haven't any idea how to prepare it. Can I just slice it up and use the dehydrator without the mixes or is there a recipe - I can't find one on the web. UGHHHH Any ideas would be appreciated.

Glad to hear you are both ok - That would have truly sent me for a loop. We avoid all water/frozen rivers and ponds/lakes once we hit March 15th up here - I would not be as brave as you! Sad, though, that no one noticed you were both a bit drenched.

General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Re: help identifying my puppy
« on: March 31, 2008, 01:07:13 am »
OK - Just guessing - Ears say Husky to me. I agree with the post that said something about his paws. My mals have wide huge paws. My husky (Alaskan not Siberian) has a much narrower paw. Up here the huskys are built for speed -so a much leaner body and the mals are built for power - just much broader. My mals are from the same litter - nut look very different and both have crazy dropped ears. My big boy (at 11 months 125 lbs) could pass for a mixed Saint due to his dropped ears. My lil girl (111 lbs) definitely looks mal - even with the ears. My husky looks totally different (Alaskan Huskys are the "mutt" as my husband would say mix breed for sledding) skinny, strong, not thick or double-coated like the mals - but HUGE pointy ears.
Whatever ge turns out to be he is absolutely GORGEOUS!
Good Luck! Keep us posted!

General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Re: play yard
« on: March 31, 2008, 12:29:43 am »
We had a run of mud 4 weeks ago during a thaw and I went ballistic. We then had just about 25 tons of gravel dropped outside our back fence. We were able to gravel about 1/2 our yard - strategically around the deck so that even if they dig or roll in the muck most of it comes off their feet prior to getting to the door. It was $400 well spent (although my back is killing me from hauling the majority of it be wheelbarrow with my husband through the gate - too narrow for a bobcat 
) We have thawed a 2nd time and things are much clearner!
Good Luck~
