I am hoping that they took care of it. Fortunately this is not the normal case among mushers. The ones I know personally keep a wonderful kennel. They all have houses. They clean once or twice a day.
Dogs are current on vaccines.
We love our dogs and part of mushing is the care of them. I hate it when I have to handle another dog and it smells bads. There is no reason for that. It's a shame how one bad apple can cause so much trouble for the rest. People generally like to focus in on the bad and forget the good.
