Ack I failed to note you live in Fairbanks! LOL Yep no fences for sure (I spent a year in Faro, Yukon). Yes it is very sad how badly some of the mushers treat their unwanted sled dogs isn't it. Some are great but others shouldn't own a flippin pet rock let alone a living creature.

Just make sure she can't chew through her stake out. Once they start running they've no clue how to stop LOL. I love the talking that northern breeds do. I saw a video once of a Malamute that you would swear was able to say "Mama" clear as a bell!

Have fun in the spring when she blows out her winter coat. We had a Lab x Husky (Shadow appeared pure Lab but wasn't) that we got up in the Yukon. She could shed enough in the spring to basically construct a spare dog out of! The birds loved the soft underfur that I left out for them for nest building each spring.
