A well written review, Annette. I am happy you enjoyed the experience. Regarding the welfare of the animals I recommend (with any animal related activities) that you check if the Five Freedoms (animals have appropriate space, lighting, air quality, food and water) are applicable to the farm that you are visiting.

In reply to Hannah. I was worried about the same thing, but these dogs seemed to be treated very well. When I first saw them in the snow, I felt bad because I was so cold, but they are bred to be able to withstand the weather conditions. In fact, instead of sleeping in their dog houses, many chose to sleep on top on a bed of snow instead. I can't speak for all dogsledding companies, but these huskies were all very alert and friendly. They got a lot of attention from everyone who visited, they were allowed to be pet and cuddled whereas some sledding businesses don't allow that. Plus, you could tell their excitement as soon as they knew they were going to be able to run.

I really want to do dogsledding, but I’m worried that it is cruelty for the dogs, When you were there, did you think that the dogs seemed miserable or treated cruelly?
