Mushing in Ireland - Ireland 
Dryland Mushing - Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland we rarely have enough snow to allow sledging, so to keep our dogs and ourselves fit and healthy by cani-cross, scootering , bikejoring or useing rig's and quadriga's.
Cani-cross is the sport of running off-road with your dog. The human participant wears a waistbelt which attaches via a 2-metre bungee line to a padded dog harness. It is a fantastic way to keep you and your dog fit whilst enjoying the great outdoors together. It provides a physical workout for your dog and the use of directional commands will help him to learn to use his brain and build up his confidence.
Malamutes run in the “freight” class which is for recognised sled dog breeds other than Siberian Huskies. Malamutes were bred for strength and to pull sledges long distances whereas the Siberians were bred for speed.
