Types of Sled Dogs Naturally, most northern breeds were used as sled dogs. Alaskan Malamutes, Siberian Huskies, Eskimo Dogs, Greenlands, Samoyeds, Norrbottenspets, and Hokkaidokens are all sled dogs. However, lots of different breeds of dogs have been and are used to drive sleds and carts. People use Irish Setters, Dalmations, Golden Retrievers, etc., to enjoy mushing sports. In fact, most modern day speed and endurance mushers use mixed breeds (often Siberian crossed with Greyhound). So, if you do not have a "sled dog," but still want to enjoy the sport, fear not, for most any type of dog can be used. Mushing is fun, both to take part in and simply to watch. 3. Mushing Terms

A Personal Look at Amateur Sled Dog Racing by Lonnie Olson Here is my team of Border Collies bursting out of the starting chute. Amateur Sled Dog Races The sprint races consist of a very short run. It is usually about three or more miles for the 3dog class, five or more miles for the 5-dog class, and seven or more miles for the 7-dog class. The race planners try to get the mileage to be the same as the number of dogs in the class, but there will be an occasional longer trail. The mileage is not usually more than twice the same number of dogs that you have. Depending on the hosting organization in your area, the numbers of dogs in each class could be different. There might be four, six, and eight dog classes. They may also offer 1 0-dog and unlimited classes. There are rules which govern all of these races. There is a minimum number of dogs which can be raced in each class. For instance, you could run in the 7-dog class with as few as five dogs. You must have a basket in your sled with a dog bag large enough to hold your biggest dog. You may or may not be allowed to carry a passenger in your sled (remember, many amateurs are not out to win the racethey are only out to have fun). You must have a snow hook and a brake. You are not allowed to use a whip, or have any line attaching the sled to any part of yourself., In addition, there are quite a few rules of "trail etiquette" with which you will need to become familiar before you enter a race.

6. Sled Dog Racing The Topic sled dog racing. Easier People from the polar regions have used dogs and sleds for a the frozen ice fields. sled dog racing was continued by immigrant trappers http://www.42explore.com/sleddog.htm

The Topic: Sled Dog Racing Easier - People from the polar regions have used dogs and sleds for a long time. Working dogs were used in everyday life to protect and in hunting. But most of all, dogs and sleds were used to carry food, products, and other things. The first sled dog races may have been among native people as they dashed their dog teams across the frozen ice fields. Sled dog racing was continued by immigrant trappers, miners, freight haulers, and settlers. Harder - Indigenous people of the far North regions were dependent on sled dogs for protection, companionship, hunting, trapping, and transportation for thousands of years. In the more recent European immigrations to North America, newcomers quickly saw the value of working sled dogs. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police started running dog-team patrols in the northern frontiers as early as 1873. Mail teams later delivered the news to outlying communities. Inland settlements were dependent on sled dog freight haulers. Explorers such as Byrd, Peary, and Amundsen relied on sled dogs in their exploration of frozen wastelands. Today, few of the inhabitants of the Far North are dependent on dogs for basic survival. However, sled dog racing continues in the United States, Canada, Northern Europe, the United Kingdom, Japan, and other locations around the world.

VSDRA was first formed in 1994 , as it was foreseen that for our sport to ever be recognized we needed to have a separate body away from the pure breed clubs. The great force behind the original development of VSDRA was Nola Randell. After finding out what requirements where necessary for our future development we needed a non-discriminatory body (pure breeds being discriminatory as only for pure breeds) to help develop policies and enable future possible funding and recognition by government bodies for the sport of Sled Dog Racing. Victorian Sled Dog Racing Association as its intention at the time was that it wanted to concentrate on our own State (Victoria), and when enough interstate clubs were formed they could possibly form their own state body, and then move forward and form an Australian Association. VSDRA is made up of Sled Dog Racing clubs, which form the counsel along with a general committee for day to day running of the association. VSDRA is also made up of general members, who are represented by 2 driver delegates, but members can contact the general committee if they have any questions or problems.

11. Sled Dog Race In a revival of ageold tradition, some entire villages and towns in rural Alaskabecome swept away in the frenzy of sled dog racing, and sled dog are now http://www.iditarod.com/sled_dog_race.html

The Iditarod Sled Dog Race By Don Bowers Return to General Information Index Page Even after the advent of the airplane, dog teams continued to be widely used for local transportation and day-to-day work, particularly in Native villages. Mushers and their teams played important but little remembered roles in World War II in Alaska, particularly in helping the famous Eskimo Scouts patrol the vast winter wilderness of western Alaska. After the war, short and medium distance freight teams were still common in many areas of Alaska even when President Kennedy announced that the United States would put a man on the moon. During the 1960's, however, it was not space travel but the advent of the "iron dog" (orsnowmachine, as it's called in Alaska) that resulted in the mass abandonment of dog teams across the state and loss of much mushing lore. To help save some of Alaska's fast-vanishing mushing heritage, Dorothy Page, a planner for the 1967 Alaska Centennial celebration, conceived of the idea of a dog race over the historically significant Iditarod Trail, which by then had been disused for many years. Local mushers' groups, with the leadership of Joe Redington, Sr., and retired Air Force Col. Norman Vaughan, threw themselves into the project. (Vaughan, by the way, was Admiral Byrd's dog wrangler in Antarctica in 1928. He later used dogs for search and rescue work in Alaska and Greenland during World War II).

Sled Dog and Sled Dog Racing FAQ Contents: General Beginner Questions Equipment Questions General Training Questions General Maintenance ... Diet and Nutrition General Beginner Questions I am a beginner with 1-2 dogs. I want to mush, but I don't think my dog(s) can pull a sled. How can I enjoy the sled dog sports with what I have? Answer: Try skijouring or kicksleds. Skijouring is where a dog pulls you while you are on skis. A kicksled is a light, upright sled that can take 1-2 dogs. Both are rather inexpensive options for the novice. A full skijouring setup (sans skis) is under $75 and the kicksled runs under $200. Several outfitters listed under the suppliers FAQ carry this equipment. Secondly, don't discount a regular sled unless the cost is prohibitive. A dog weighing 40-50 lbs can pull a human on a stanchion (basket) sled on a level without difficulty. I am a beginner and in great need of information. How do I start? Answer: . I have a Poodle-Sharpei cross ;-) Can I mush? Answer: If your dog is over 35 lbs and has enough leg, sure, why not? Mushers have raced Dalmatians, German Shorthaired Pointers, Golden Retrievers, Great Danes, Keeshonden, Aussie Shepherds, Border Collies, and GSDs. How many dogs make a team?

19. Get Along Little Doggies! Sled Dog Racing - History sled dog racing Before sled dog racing became a formal sport, sled dogs werebred and used by native people of the polar regions of the world. http://www.kidsturncentral.com/topics/animals/sleddog1.htm

Animals/Pets Sled Dog Racing Before sled dog racing became a formal sport, sled dogs were bred and used by native people of the polar regions of the world. They were used in their everyday lives for survival in harsh climates, particularly for transportation and work. Sled dog racing began as a formal sport with the first All-Alaska Sweepstakes race in 1908. Rules for the races were established, and they provided a good diversion to the difficult living conditions of the area. In the 1920's, airplanes began to replace sled dog teams for transportation, freight hauling, and mail delivery. In 1925, sled dogs proved that they were invaluable during the "Great Race of Mercy to Nome." Nome, Alaska was experiencing an outbreak of diphtheria that threatened to become a fatal epidemic. The antitoxin serum needed to be relayed from Nenana, Alaska to Nome, Alaska. Twenty drivers and more than 100 dogs were recruited for a sled dog run to deliver the serum. Planes could not be used due to extreme cold and fearing if the plane crashed, the serum would be lost. The sled dog drive was a success, the serum was delivered and lives were saved. The drive covered 674 miles in less than five and a half days.

20. Sled Dog Racing - The Dogs Kids Turn, More Topics. sled dog racing The Dogs Two dogs Some peoplequestion the use of dogs in sled dog racing. The relationship http://www.kidsturncentral.com/topics/animals/sleddog2.htm

More Topics Sled Dog Racing - The Dogs Two dogs commonly used in sledding are Alaskan Malamutes and Siberian Huskies. These two breeds had quite different origins and uses. Alaskan Malamutes originated with a group of Eskimo people known as the Mahlemiut. The dogs of that time were very large freighting dogs, capable of pulling very heavy weights. The Mahlemiut people lived in the upper part of the Anvik River in Alaska, and were spread out over a large area. They used the dogs for hauling food back to the villages. The gold rush in 1896 created a high demand for these dogs. Siberian Huskies originated with the Chuckchi people of northeastern Siberia. With a Stone Age culture, the Chuckchi people used their dogs for tasks like herding reindeer and pulling loads. These dogs were smaller and faster than their Mahlemiut counterparts. These dogs were exported to Alaska around the time of the gold rush. These two breeds play a very important role in the development of our modern day sled dog breeds. Today, most northern breeds used as sled dogs. Alaskan Malamutes, Siberian Huskies, Eskimo Dogs, Greenlands, Samoyeds, Norrbottenspets, and Hokkaidokens are all sled dogs.
