Yup. It was time. He's a 7 month old Alaskan Husky. AK huskies are all mixes, and this guy has a short coat, so he is probably mixed with some hound or pointer.
He has a great attitude, and is responding to me very well. Can't quite let him run loose outside the house, though. He discovered one of my neighbors is a dog musher very quickly, and he likes to go visit the dog yard! The musher lady didn't like that very much. Nice to meet you, neighbor!
I'm sure there will be some more exciting pictures of us in the future. He has skijored with me twice and has done great. He pulls like crazy, but then stops to sniff stuff. We hiked Toboggan trail today (toboggan in hand), and he did great off the leash. This dog is fast. He especially enjoyed chasing me down the hill, although he still beat me down it.
I see good things.
