He'll be a house dog but I'm going to train him to pull me on skis in
winter "Skijorning" and a scooter in the summer "Scootering." Another
interesting looking activity is "bikejorning" where the dog pulls while
you ride a mountain bike. Strangely enough the breed that does the
best in Skijorning competition is German Shorthair Pointers, which was
the last dog I had.
Based on his pedigree which is world-class and if I have the time, I
might look at conformation but I really hate the politics and absurdity
of dog shows.

Is he going to be a house dog or will you make him work for a living -
weight
pull, sled pull etc ?

Thanks to everyone who replied (and even those that didn't; but
chances
are they won't read this either...).
He's a Samoyed; a Nordic breed originally used to pull sleds, herd
reindeer, hunt walruses and polar bears and a companion to keep its
human family warm during the cold Siberian winters. Males get to
about
23in tall and weigh up to 60lbs (that's like 1.5m tall and 234kg
according to my web-based real-measurements-to-fancy-euro-scale
converter.
The whole family is very excited to bring him home in a few weeks.

He's only 4 weeks old so we don't get to bring him home until

27th. We're naming him MaX in keeping with naming things after
favorite
cameras and to keep things on-topic (my daughter's name is aLeX).
