DOG SLEDDING
Dog sledding is a means of transport that has been used for hundreds of years. Today,
people in some places like Canada, Greenland, Alaska and Scandinavian countries still use dog
sledding as a way to travel and transport things from one place to another. Dog sledding races
are also a very popular sport in these places.
A dog sledding team consists of a number of dogs and the musher; this is the driver of the
dog sled. The most common type of dog used to pull dog sleds are huskies. People train the
dogs from the time they are puppies. The dogs need to be able to pull heavy weights while
running very fast across the snow.
Each dog in a dogsled team is very important. For example, the wheelers, the dogs nearest
to the sled, are the strongest and biggest. The leaders lead the team; they are usually the
cleverest and fastest and they run in front of the other dogs. The dogs behind the leaders are
called swing dogs; they make sure that the sled turns quickly and easily. The other dogs are
there to give speed to the team and make it stronger.
Dog sledding is an important means of transport for people living in cold, snow covered
places. It is also an exciting way for visitors to get around the place and enjoy nature.
