Hybrid Running Jacket
This attractive dog jacket provides full body protection. It is an ideal running/exercising jacket for shorthaired dogs. This body hugging, 4-way stretch, wind-resistant jacket features a durable chest insert. This practical chest insert prevents harness rub if coat is used under a harness. The jacket also features additional padding to protect a male’s genitals from extreme cold.
The jacket does not have an opening for free urination for males, as we tried to eliminate any possibility of frost bite while designing this jacket. If desired, an opening for males can be easily added by simply cutting a hole in the jacket. The jacket is easy to put on. No Velcro. No hardware.
Designed and sold by Howling Dog Alaska.The Double Driver (left) was developed for the tour industry for carrying two passengers and a musher. This allows a passenger the thrill of driving a dogsled which can be done while the musher is close at hand for the safety of the team and passengers.
Due to popular demand the original Double Driver has been transformed into an all-purpose training sled – The Double Trainer (below). The Double Trainer has a toboggan front allowing for even greater cargo capacity, while the two sets of stanchions, handlbars, and brakes allow for any two drivers to hit the trail together. Sled bags are available for front and back for gear. As with all MaineMade Dog Sleds, this newer model is made from select white ash, laminated wood runners, and is even lighter in weight than the Double Driver. For information: mainemadedogsleds.com

That is all history now, she has complete confidence in the design. A few people saw the hook and wanted one so I started building them 20 at time. It is a once in a life time purchase where as it is made of almost indestructible material, tempered stainless steel that is lazer cut and tig welded for added strength with a total weight of 3½ lbs.
You should only have to purchase one if you lose it or just want another. The hook itself is made in a way that when pulled from the front it naturally wants to dig down and it will until it sets itself. I have got into the habit of just dropping it into the snow and letting it set itself. The best part is it will right itself. As soon as it hits the ground it will dig in and you are stopped. There have been many Critterwoods snow hooks that have made the trip to Nome as well as traveled the Yukon Quest and most of the other major events world wide.” Gary Chapman, owner critterwoods.com
