Dog sledding

These dogs have been bred and perfected, as all working dogs, over many generations. They want to pull you and they want to go off in a straight line over the far horizon.  It\'s a sport that\'s becoming more and more popular and local dog mushers are heavily booked. If you like dogs even just a little bit, then dog sledding is exciting. Not for the speed - it\'s just a little more than walking pace - but for the pleasure of being with such animals. They\'re normally Alaskan Huskies or sometimes the bigger and stronger, but much harder to manage, Greenland Huskies. Bred from wolf/domestic dog crosses, they are wonderfully affectionate animals and are increasingly popular as pets.
