Sobo is doing the snow dance in the dog yard and Acadia is sniffing at the air, searching for the smell of snow. T-Bone is fluffing the pillows and enjoying the warmth by the fire. As the temperatures begin to drop, the dogs can run better, faster, and harder.
To spend time dog sledding in the snow, check out our Maine Winter Cabin Adventure.

So I'm sure by now you are thinking:
This is Maryland, what if there is no snow? Temperatures
permitting, even when there is no snow, we can
still go. When not running on snow, which is much
of the time here in central Maryland, we dog sled
using our three wheel and four wheel dog
sled rigs (click for picture). In mushing,
a wheeled cart used for dog sledding when there
is no snow is called a "rig" or a "gig." Our larger
rig allows us to carry a passenger seated on dog
sledding tours and dog sled rides. The larger
rig can be seen in our dog
sledding gallery, which has pictures from
recent programs. |

If so, check out our special women's only Maine Winter Cabin Adventure and then email Catherine for more information and to register. Space is limited to only six participants. |
