Sled Dogs wait their turn to be harnessed!

Before the introduction of the snowmobile, dog sledding was the primary mode of northern transportation. Sleds were used in hunting expeditions, for travel, as well as for a pleasure trip on a beautiful winter's day.

 

Dog sledding has become an invigorating sport and exciting winter activity - growing in popularity every year.

Sled dogs can pull twice their weight for hours at speeds of 6 - 8 mph. With their dense coats and tough demeanour, they can thrive in extreme conditions. The more frigid it is, the more persistant the dogs are. They nestle into the snow when night falls, curling into a ball and wrapping their tails over their noses.

At daybreak as sleds are being prepared for travel, they pop up and anxiously paw the air, wanting to be the first one harnessed. It's truly amazing how hard these dogs work and how much they love pulling!
