puppy canicross

Bike checking out the new ice.

My three puppies are fifteen months old. They are old enough to work in harness, but not old enough to run with the main team. They will not be finished growing until they are two years old & I don't think its a good idea to run them hard so young. So I have a three dog puppy team this season! They are my designated canicross and skijor dogs :) Bike and I went out for a jog today to check out the neighboring trails. They will not be safely passable until the waterways completely freeze-up. But it's off to a good start! We had a really hard freeze last night that solidified a slow moving creek that was all water yesterday evening. The ice was thick enough to support Bike, but it will be a while before it's safe for the ATV...
