Believe it or not, the fish bones don't seem to hinder the dogs at all. I'm afraid they get this trait from the "wild side" genetically of their family tree. On the other hand, they get their ability to cuddle on a couch from their "domesticated side" genetically of their family tree. Cuddling AFTER a fish snack is a little Poo-pooed at SP K however.
I'm glad someone asked about the fish bones and I'm very glad you answered, Aliy! I've been wondering that as well. Do the fish bones have any impact on the dogs' digestive systems? I know fish bones are more "delicate" than say, chicken bones which of course are a big no no for dogs, but I'm wondering if it bothers them at all, any health risks (is it even possible for fish bones to pose similar risks as chicken bones?) or if there's some sort of adjustment their bodies need to go through.
Thank you, Aliy for sharing your videos, your blog, and taking the time to reply to questions & comments. It's always a treat to get a further glimpse inside the mushing world from a musher. :)
Our Natural Extremes Mushing Adventure Trips will head back to Arctic National Wildlife Refuge this coming season. In March and April 2012, after Aliy completes her 12th Iditarod, the dogs and mushers will begin their adventure trips North. Aliy and Allen will continue to share their knowledge and love of the Arctic on these unique adventures. Whether you are interested in a workshop on dog mushing or a trip to the finish line of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog and scenic lands beyond, contact us! You will be challenged to see the world in a different way.

Excellent! Hope to see more like this.
Good job, Ryne.
Love it!
The only thing left out was a big 'fish-breath' belch.
Do the fish bones hurt the dogs mouth? I hate fish bones.
