Hey there, Carol.
You’ll really just have to use your judgement, based on the exact activity you plan on doing with your doggo. For example, your weight ratio won’t really matter if you plan on doing Canicross with your canine, whereas you’ll obviously have to be more careful if you engage in one of the sports that requires your pup to actually pull you around. That said, urban mushing authorities differ a bit, with some recommending dogs be at least 30 pounds, while others recommend dogs be at least 40 to 60 to engage in these sports.
Also, be sure to run your plan by vet before you get started. Best of luck!
