Dogsledding is hugely popular as a recreational sport in many northern states, and a necessary part of survival in northern countries. Whether mushers are running alongside their teams in a second-splitting race or being pulled by a small team on a twisting, snow covered trail for fun… the thrill of dogsledding excites the mind and warms the soul. Other mushers may be out in the deep snow hauling a sled of firewood; while their neighbors enjoy dogs pulling them on wheels at the speed of light. All of these mushers have three things in common: love of dogsledding, love for their dogs and learned dogsledding skills.
