    Extractions: All Items... (for all breeds) Here's a picture of my lead dog, "Koda," a red merle Border Collie, getting psyched up before a race. 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.

22. Anduril Kennels, Sled Dog Team, Iditarod
    Anduril Kennels' sled dog racing team plans to be an Iditarod 2000 competitor. The kennel is located in Southwest Montana.  
    http://members.aol.com/RobGreger/Sleddog.html
    
    Extractions: As competitive sled dog racing kennels go, Anduril has a very small number of dogs. Rob and Cara believe in quality, not quantity. They work with training, good nutrition, care, and love to make the most of each dog's potential. Because of their love of dogs and dedication to the sport of mushing, Rob and Cara make many public appearances and initiate programs for school children each year. Rob also works on the board of directors for The Race To The Sky. In the 94-95 race season, Rob and "the kids" (the dogs) placed in the top ten in four of the five races they entered. In the fifth race (in which they did not place in the top ten), they received the "Best Cared for Team" award. Rob competed in Montana's Race To The Sky 350-mile sled dog race in 1992, 1995 (placed 7th), 1996 (placed 2nd), 1997 (placed 14th), 1998 (placed 3rd), and 1999 (placed 7th). In 1998 Rob also raced in the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon in Minnesota, and finished in 11th place. He has also participated in many other races and placed well with the team. His sled dog racing is often "family vacation time," and a great time to get together with other friends/mushers. Iditarod 2000 Sponsors Running the Iditarod will be a once in a lifetime event for us. We love and care for our dogs 365 days of the year, but a trip like the Iditarod brings up a lot of added expenses.

    Extractions: Introduction Fast, exciting, well trained sled dog teams are the result of careful behind the scenes planning and hard work. Successful mushers are knowledgeable in such diverse areas as kennel management, canine behavior, nutrition, veterinary care, psychology, physical conditioning, housing and transportation. Wise mushers soon learn that success or failure in any of these areas affects performance dramatically. Considering this fact it is obvious that the welfare of the dogs is of paramount importance. Team and driver develop a close, trusting relationship because of the amount of time they spend together. To betray that trust by not meeting all of the dog’s needs runs counter to the goal of having a happy, healthy, highly motivated team. What you see at a race is the result of long hours of work and planning to ensure that the team is prepared to test its abilities against the trail and the competition. WHAT MAKES SLED DOGS RUN?

    http://www.webheads.co.uk/sdcom/press/info/003history.html
    
    Extractions: History of Racing The heritage of the sled dog is a long and proud one, stretching back thousands of years. The people of the North were dependent on these animals for protection, companionship, hunting, trapping, and, most of all transportation. Sled dogs enabled explorers such as Byrd, Peary, and Amundsen to explore the frozen wastelands of two continents and played a vital role in bringing civilization to the snowbound areas of the world. As early as 1873, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were bringing government to northern frontiers with dog-team patrols. Throughout Alaska and Canada, mail teams delivered the news to outlying settlements. One of the proudest chapters in sled dog history was written in 1925. In January of that year, a case of diphtheria was discovered in Nome, Alaska, and the supply of antitoxin in that city was inadequate to stave off an epidemic. A relay of 22 native and mail teams forged through the rough interior of Alaska and across the Bering Sea ice to bring the serum to a grateful citizenry. In New York City's Central Park stands a statue of Balto, who led one of the relay teams, commemorating the Nome Serum Run. The inscription reads: Dedicated to the indomitable Spirit of the sled dogs that relayed the antitoxin 600 miles over rough ice, treacherous waters; through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of1925. Endurance. Fidelity. Intelligence.

    http://www.sleddogs-australia.com/
    
    Extractions: I am not a Member - Join here! 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. The association was called 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.

    http://www.cloquet.k12.mn.us/WAS/Kim/newbear/Beargrease/About.sleddogs.html
    
    Extractions: About Sled Dogs and Sled Dog Racing Stephen R. Lee 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
