When we are back home at Expedition Basecamp, the Polar Huskies have the choice of sleeping under the stars or sleeping in their individual dog houses. While puppies, we work very hard at socializing them so that they are comfortable around and not afraid of people. To do this, they will sometimes go and live with a family for a few weeks to a few months. During this time, they usually live in the house just like any other house dog.
While out on the trail, the dogs sleep staked-out outside. They will curl-up in a ball and sleep the night away.
Do the dogs like to sleep outside?Did they ever sleep inside?I really want to know!

On the trail, the dogs conserve their energy and sleep. Even when we stop for lunch, the dogs will curl-up into a ball and take a nap.
In the summer (or the 'off' season) they become very relaxed in the warm weather. When the weather starts to turn cooler with the first signs of fall, they become very energetic and begin their training pulling a 4-wheeler.
What do the dogs do when they are not pulling the sled?
