Hannah is definitely one of my favorites. I love how she cares for and knows her dogs and their limitations. Her determination, strength and training has truly paid off. She’s already a winner 🤩🤩🤩
Hannah & her team is really good. Her dogs seem aware and ready, she will definitely win one day. The fact that she did really well in this race is a big achievement in itself.
Ben's lead dog Ruby was limping. I was surprised that he did not catch that. But Ben clearly takes wonderful care of his dogs. I hope to see this event in person one day.
Yes indeed, sick minded people, sick enough to damage this traditional race, when all the people was in top shape and nobody was to spread the scandemic! Wake up people, and put down the criminal scammers. Too many satanist holding power positions in Scandinavia and in general in the Western World countries.
@@corneliusbulik4856 why don't you wake up for school instead and learn some basic science? You sound like a caveman refusing to cook your food and complaining that germs are a scam.
I somewhat understand it because in the beginning, when barely anything was known about the virus, a lot of things got unnecessarily canceled. Still, a bunch of people hanging out in the mountains, really isn't a viral thread.
Wonderful video. I had a dog named UB and he was very old when I got a rare opportunity to do the Lewis and Clark trail in the USA. My brother said he will die if you take him with you, and he will die if you leave him behind. I took him and God and nature revived him. UB became young again and made the trail to the end, then lived on for two more years. Best dog I ever had. Thank you for the video.
I am wondering how these dogs compared to the purebred Huskies or Eskimo dogs from Greenland or the Malamutes. I know that the mushers in Alaska use both purebred sled dogs and mixed breed dogs. I heard that they love to have huskies as the front runners.
I have been scrolling and scrolling and scrolling, and all I could see was comments about the girl. You're the first comment I've seen who think like me: What about Ben, isn't he of equal value... Simply a result of feminism where men are now ignored. Even more tragic when he has to work harder without any funding.
It’s-46f in Fairbanks, Alaska, sled dogs snug in their kennels waiting for the Yukon Quest then two weeks later the Iditarod Race! Some dogs running both thousand mile races!run
Best thing to do is relax in the day run threw the night snow is crunchy and dogs can stay cool and relax in the sun have worm comfortable sleep with the sun on them
Yep, I was about to volunteer for the race and decided not to as soon as the Global situation has changed. However, glad to see how it went at the end.
Oh COME ON! It’s an outdoor event! Doesn’t have to involve large groups of people so can be easily socially distanced! They had already been underway! Why do that to those deeply invested competitors! Unnecessary...
Togo is one of Alaska's K9 heroes!, If all the dog sled naysayers had their way, the population of Nome, especially the children, would have been decimated by the diphtheria epidemic.
@@danit8677 Not all people keep their sled dogs chained when there's no races happening but it's really practical and safe when you're in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure these dogs (literally bred to work and *adapt* to rough conditions) do not mind that:). Most would actually be feeling quite miserable staying in a warm room.
Most of you people need to get over yourselves and actually do some damn research before bashing the sport and calling it "abuse" If these dogs didn't want to run THEY WOULDN'T. NO ONE IS FORCING THESE DOGS TO RUN. They have been bred for this type of thing (double coats, tough cardiovascular systems, endurance) if you actually listened you'd hear them explain that in the beginning of this video. dogs have been used to pull sleds for generations if there were any serious issues with all this it would be stopped by now🙄🙄
Lol sure. They are made to run. They are made to live a shit existence in crappy ill equipped houses on chains. People who support this have a leg in the game. Everyone else sees it for what it is. . Man's entertainment at the dogs suffering
These offended 'beacons of morality' will not listen to you, they are too afraid to see that dogs can have an actual healthy and happy life by sledding than their little and fragile SJW egos would break into pieces if they could see it. Greetings from an ex 'eco friendly animalist' who believed that dog sledding was animal abuse, until i became a dog musher, and i EXPERIENCED how incredibly happy dogs can be with this sport
I NEED that pullover! The doggi pullover, where did you get thjat? I need it! * w * Also how many dogs do you need to drive 1 adult that weighs not more than 75kg? O.o Also her quad is super good for what I wanna do... Need that too XD
@@leaflet1686bit late but yeah you can train a dog that just like running but some breeds are better, but if you just wanna do it for fun just get dogs that can handle the running and pulling
That answer is so wague, that it is useless... Me: "I wanna do this sled thingy! How many dogs do I need to pull my weight?" You: "You can train any dog you want, just make sure you get specific ones!" Seriously? Which ones!?@@nenasiek
As a dog lover,i never care much for dogfighting as a spectator sport.But dog racing seems quite natural,especially when they have owners that thoroughly understood their natures and their needs......
@@danit8677 how many dog sled racing kennels have you visited and/or worked at? Are your comments based upon personal experience or opinions and stories written by anti-dog sledders or PETA members?
The dogs are bred and trained for long distance running. Siberian Huskies can easily run up to 100 miles per day at a steady pace of 9-10 MPH. It appears many of those dogs have some Siberian in their bloodline.
2019 Reste in peace OSHI... One day after crossing the iditarod finish line, OSHI died from aspiration pneumonia - probably from inhaling her own vomit - which is the leading cause of death for dogs who don't survive the race... So sad...
These dogs live a miserable existence. They are kept on chains in horrible conditions where they shit and sleep all in a 6 foot area for years. Their only release from the hell is to run. Man's Best Friend? Sure.
Sorry but working the dogs like that for 12 hours is too much. That's abuse as far as I'm concerned. And how come Hannah gets to stay in the camper each night, the commentator said no outside help is allowed.
If the dogs don't want to run, they won't. I remember one of the top competitors from the Iditarod had to stop and take an extended break because his dogs would not run. And they absolutely take breaks within those 12 hours.
Hurts my heart! No animals should be left outside. I’m sure each one of them would love to live inside with a loving family😭😭😭💔💔💔 Dogs should not be commodities
These dogs have double coats, as an owner of double coated dogs I know they hate the heat and much prefer colder conditions, here in Norway during the winter time with indoor heating and being inside they have trouble coping with the heat the same with summer, and they actually prefer a room with windows open even if it's - 20 degrees outside otherwise the are panting continously which stresses them out.
If you want to train your team 10.000 km from august to may you need to make 150 av km in start of the season and 500-700km in top time. So if you train 5 days a week you run about 3-10 hours a day. So you have no time do anithing else but the dogs. So that means that you need big team to do that work. So still I have questions.
They were literally born to run and pull:) Obese huskies with poorly maintained coat sitting on the couch all day are the ones you should feel so sorry for. While yes, you can find some irresponsible racing facilities (just like in ANY OTHER sport), most dogs are taken amazing care, get frequent medical check-ups, proper exercise, nutrition and love from their handlers. To add, you cannot possibly force a dog to run for hours a day if the dog does not absolutely LOVE to run:).
Until you decide to get tougher you will never understand where the actual limits are. Facing challenges and fear is good for any living being and is what makes us tougher. It makes us more resiliant. I bet you run away from all of that to a high degree, and that's why you will only see the world through that narrowminded view. There's no point living in fear, because it hinders us from our full potential. There's risks with everything in life, and it's better to face risk because it makes us all better prepared for future risks. Living by itself is a risk, so it's worse to shy away from challenges in life, because you'll just never feel ready for anything. Back to the dogs... Most people look at dogs as human babies which is so tragic because dogs have dog needs, and most people will therefor never see their true needs. Most people do not know how to communicate with their dogs because they still don't see them as an animal, as a dog. How will you then know how to treat or not to treat it... The dogs that are used for races like this are way tougher than most people will assume. Some may look like some similar dog lying on the couch all day, but looks can be very very deceiving. You need to understand behaviour to fully understand what can live inside these beings. They are pretty badass, I'll tell you that much.
I can not understand the man that speaks German or a Scandinavian language because you talk right through it. Use English subtitles so I can listen to him. I understand both languages but not at the same time.

I love the dogs and their sleds.
Human: I ran a marathon!
Husky: How heavy was the sled and why did you stop after 26 miles?
Ben can’t get sponsors just because he’s not Norwegian? Lame. I was rooting for him the most.
I have been scrolling and scrolling and scrolling, and all I could see was comments about the girl. You're the first comment I've seen who think like me: What about Ben, isn't he of equal value...
Simply a result of feminism where men are now ignored. Even more tragic when he has to work harder without any funding.
They said its simply harder to attract (local) sponsors as a non-local. which, you know, makes some sense.
Fascinating....

You go Hannah!
The mans lead dog ruby the queen is so happy when he was peting her their all loved and want to pull
That race is slightly longer in distance than the yearly Iditarod race in Alaska. I wonder how many years the Norwegian race has been conducted?
About 43 this year
YES I agree with the secluded area it could have keep going
Best thing to do is relax in the day run threw the night snow is crunchy and dogs can stay cool and relax in the sun have worm comfortable sleep with the sun on them

Depends on the breed and the weight of the equipment and yourself combined.
