This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

Absolutely gutted to hear that now 2 teams have been hit in a week! 6 dogs dead, many more injured. Surely something needs to be done to stop anymore teams and mushers being killed by drunk or speeding snow machines!

I am very concerned that when it comes to snowmachine vs. sled dogs, the penalty is much less for the machine driver when only dogs are killed.
Proud PaPa of the triplet litter; Aidan (B), Bailey (G), and Cameron (B). Cameron is on top in picture; Bailey, of course, is the bowhead!!
