	Sled Dogs : Dog Breeds - Dog.com
		The idea of using dogs to pull a sled was borrowed by Alaskan settlers and gold miners from the Eskimos who had been mushing (driving) dog teams for thousands of years.
		The mushers carry few supplies on their sleds -- a sleeping bag, an ax, snowshoes, dog booties, a headlamp for night running, and a race promotion packet to commemorate the days when mail delivery by dog sled was the chief form of communication.
		Dog mushers and their dogs race for the joy and excitement of the trail -- not for the media recognition.

	Sled Dog Racing at Dog Scouts of America. Dog camp, clicker training, and dog training!
		The difference between amateur and professional sled dog races is that the pros are racing for prize money anywhere from thousands of dollars (in the long distance races) to hundreds of dollars or less (in the shorter, "sprint" races or mid-distance races).
		Sledding collars are made so that they will go over the dog's head, but not come off while he is pulling on the line.
		If you don't have leaders who will keep the other dogs doing their jobs, and you think the new dog may cause trouble (biting the lines, being a nincompoop), you could try putting him alone in the wheel position with two dogs in lead for him to "chase" (or to be pulled along by).

		Dogs that die on the trail must be taken to a checkpoint and the musher must file a report.

	NATURE: Sled Dogs - Making of a Sled Dog
		The Alaskan husky is not a formal breed.
		In particular, husky breeders are looking for dogs with an instinctive desire to pull long and hard through the toughest conditions.

	Mad about mushing -- Wisconsin Natural Resources magazine
		Step on a dog sled and be carried away by the exuberance of a team in harness and the soft swish of sled runners on snow.

		Bradley started with some dogs she got from a pound: "I had a Giant Schnauzer and a pointer." As her interest grew and Breedlove was improving her team, Bradley started picking some of Breedlove’s dogs and they were no slouches.

	Iditarod Race Information and Updates--Ultimate Iditarod
		The LEAD DOG is always the two-legged member of the team, and the leaders in the team are the dogs that are willing to run in front, find and follow the trail, set the pace, and listen to their musher's commands.
		Remember, a dog can be sent home from the trail if needs be, but it can not be put back in the team later on in the race or replaced with another dog.
		If a dog were to go the wrong way around an obstacle or tree, the snap on the neckline is designed to break away, allowing the musher time to react and stop the team and move the dog to the correct side of the obstacle.

	Sled Dog Training for Your Husky
		Her new sled was about four inches too narrow, with a high centre of gravity that invited upsets on turns.
		It's the dogs that you want to restrain, not the sled, so at the opposite end from the panic snap your snub-rope should have a spliced-in loop, which goes into the carabiner that also joins the sled bridle, the near end of the gangline, and the rope on your snow hook.
		Your dog is not going to freeze because the window's too large; it should be big enough that a dog can't cover the whole window if he leans against it with his back or side.
