Dog Sledding Insurance
Dog sledding is a form of Mushing, the sport of a sled or sleigh being pulled by one or more dogs. This usually takes place on ice or through snow. They are often used for dog sled racing. Dog sledding has been a means of transport for hundreds of years, in remote parts of the world they are an essential way to get around as there are no roads.
In Dog sledding the dogs are a sled team, they are split into their various strengths. You have lead dogs, point dogs, swing dogs, wheel dogs and team dogs. Alaskan Huskies are the most popular type of dog for sledding because of their endurance and speed.
