Bachert family tries dogsledding after raising huskies for Pc) years By Wendy Mouser special to The Huron Expositor While snowmobiling is a more traditional winter activity, the Bachert- family of Walton have found an uncommon alternative -- dog sledding. "It may not be as fast as a snowmobile but it's a lot safer," said Marvin Bachert, who trusts his oldest son eight-year-old Derrick, to dogsled by himself. The Bacherts bought their wooden dogsled as a present for Derrick last Christmas. "We had all thought about (dogsledding) often but it wasn't until Derrick really started to beg for it, " said Marvin, who raises Siberian huskies. Marvin and Wendy bought their first husky 10 years ago and now own seven, four of which are able to pull the sleigh. "Huskies love to run. They get really excited when they see you bring the harnesses," said Marvin. _ _ _ _ - - Derrick said that huskies are used for dogsledding because they ha v e excellent endurance. The four dogs, attached to the sleigh in two rows, can pull one adult standing on the skis at the back and one child sitting on the sleigh. The meaning right, and 'haw,' meaning left, are used to direct the dogs. 'Mush,' tells the dogs to start running and 'whoa,' tells them to stop. .. "Our dogs don't always listen that well though," said Wendy, which is why the Bacherts are looking to buy a trained 'lead dog' that their dogs could fol l o w . Well-trained lead dogs can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000. Quoted 'Huskies love to run. They get really excited when they see you bring the harnesses,' -- Marvin art, of Wilton Bacherts use old train tracks as a trail for their dogs, which travel about 15 mph.

Many other Canadians share the family's growing interest in dogsledding. said Wendy. "The sport's growing right ,now. A lot of people started buying dogsleds right around the time (the movie) 'Iron Will' came out," she said. The Bacherts -consider- themselves to he amateur dogsledders. using the sport for some family fun and exercise. "It's a real workout all right," said Marvin. Derrick the 'real dogsledder' of the family. according to his parents. is hoping to train the dogs for use in longer trips when he gets older. This would involve buying more equipment. including a cart that allows dogs to be trained in the summer. "Lots of times I'll he waiting for Derrick to come in from the bus and I'll find his knapsack in the garage and he'll he out dogsledding down the lane." said Wendy.
