Look's like the author is playing the salesman there lol..........
Step four: assess physique
Assess your dog's physique. The perfect physique for pulling is that of the Siberian husky and the Alaskan malamute. If you don't know what they look like, get a book on dog breeds and look at the pictures. The closer the dog looks to the picture the better (the color of coat and eyes is not important, as we're talking shape here). If you do not have immediate access to a picture of a husky or malamute, think of what a wolf looks like and you'll be pretty close. The closer your dog comes to looking like a husky, the more efficiently he will be able to pull and the less likely he will be to incur sprains and standard sports injuries. If he looks nothing like a husky, that does not mean he can't play, it just means you need to be more careful and aware of his limitations.
I take it this Robin Shen breeds Huskies lol....
Looks like Bullseye and Wino are doomed lol

Ya if they had longer fur and blue eyes they could run far better next to a bike
