Re: Wolf/Dog Hybrids
The lift queues at whistler are ridiculous at weekends. I've never been to a resort where the waits are so long; I've occasionally waited over 30 mins for both the peak chair and emerald express lifts.

Re: Wolf/Dog Hybrids
Ookaay here we go,
Huskies are not the same as any other breed of similar size, ie Labrador, german shepherd, etc. Try to train a Husky like other breeds and you WILL be shown the middle paw (if they had one). You cannot have these dogs off leash, their inbuilt desire to run is too high. They are known for their stubborness, lack of loyalty (although I dont agree with this), destructive behaviour ( applies to any dog with large teeth left unattended for any length of time without suitable distractions).
We do not pretend to be any more special because we can look after these dogs because of our bond, we look after these dogs because they are our family, we love them as such and put up with their indescretions as such.
They are a special type of breed and as such should not be taken on if you want to have your dog off lead, to pander to your every command, to not shed copious amounts of fur.

Re: Wolf/Dog Hybrids
A dog that you can't take off lead ever even in a fenced dog park really would be a PITA; something that really only applies to dogs that will bite or attack other dogs. Having the dog on the lead at other times isn't something I would even describe as mildly inconvenient, let alone a pain in the arse.

I don't think I have ever encountered another dog (on a walking/hiking trail) who has been kept on a leash.
When I'm out walking with my dog I don't want to stop at every tree trunk while he cocks his leg, I would rather him lag behind and catch up to me. That's all I meant by being a PITA.
