Okay. It seems stupid, yes. But hear me out! It could be fun if you think about it!
ALSO, PLEASE NOTE, I live in Texas, snow and sledding are foreign to me basically, even if we do get the occasional snow and ice. So please feel free to sprinkle info on me!

In the dangers of snowy Alaska, there are towns, small ones, where humans and dogs live. But, some dogs are quick, and run through the dangers for mail, even just races!

Still sound stupid? Well, what if I said you didn't have to roleplay a sled dog? You can be the leader of a team! You don't have to though- You could be a fan of races! You could even make the sleds that the sled dogs run with!

Rules!
-Hate the character, not the person
-All Lioden rules apply!
-Be nice, please do not start fights.
-If you wanna start your own team, go ahead!
-You can do recreational sledding, hide lead chihuahua in your character sheet to prove you read rules, you don't have to race or deliver the mail!
-Don't make your dog a freaking lead Chihuahua I will call you out on this
-Oh my god no godmodding
-Please source your image if you use one!
-It isn't required but you can use a tag if you have more then one character!
If you break the rules. You get two chances, a temporary outing, and then a ban from roleplaying in this roleplay.

Info-
Looky! A sled dog FAQ where I got most of my info!
http://www.srlee.net/FAQs/sleddog_FAQ.html

What breed for a sled team?!
A bigger dog with enough height to get through the snow, and over 35 pounds! So no miniature poodles!

How many dogs in a team?
2 or more! Though, you can use one, but it's not preferred for races and mail!

By the way, SteelLions, Adonis should be the second largest male on the team, not Moonwalker. As I mentioned in the roleplay post, Wheel Dogs are the largest and strongest of the team as they are the first to take on the weight of the sled, being the closest to it. But she is a team dog, so they are usually the second largest (swing dogs are usually smaller, at least in comparison to the wheel dogs).

In height MoonWalker is larger. I got confused as well just didn't wanna say anything. Adonis is fat and weighs like. 70 pounds. Wheeze. She weighs like 40ish. I keep laughing at how fat Adonis is for his height.

Wait, how tall is she? I can't seem to find her form :/ Adonis is 27 inches lol. Moonwalker shouldn't be more than 25, 26 at the highest, considering her gender and breed.

Oh, well Kye is 32 inches tall and is a whopping 100 pounds xD but its not fat cx

.. Wait ..

She's 30?!?! Okay, I study dogs and there is no way she could be 30 freaking inches lol a female Alaskan Malamutes ranges from 22-24 inches tall. A female Samoyed ranges from 19-20 inches. How in the world is she 30??? Male Samoyeds and/or malamutes rarely ever pass 27 inches. Kye is just an exception because of reasons.

and no, Archie, you shouldn't make him taller. He's a good height. Moonwalker should be smaller lol like...

Ok...I'm sorry. I'll change that.

But...um, I have a question. How is Kye 40 inches? That's far larger than the average height for both a Malamute and a grey wolf.

Just curious!

No, its fine. No need to apologize, I'm sure you were just mixed up a bit :3 If you'd like for her to be bigger than normal, I'd suggest 25 inches? Maybe 26?

oH. I should probably double check heights and weights.

Lol, I used to have to look them up everytime I made a character. But studying animals and working with them, I've come to just know them. lol but it takes a lot of repetitiveness haha.

Also, why does it say Moonwalker is a swing dog, when Mizuki and Vivian are already swings?

O...k? You do you. No judgement.

Also, I'm not sure. Archie said Moon was a swing.... and I though Mizuki is the other... but idk.
