Space Requirements for Dogs Housed in Sled Dog Kennels
Revision 4.1 - Adopted 15 June, 2020. 1 Introduction to the 4th Revision The Mush with P.R.I.D.E. Sled Dog Care Guidelines represent a standard of care that is consistent with the 5 Provisions of Animal Welfare paradigm, prevents unnecessary harm and promotes the welfare of the dogs to which they apply. Our recommendations have a general level of acceptance among knowledgeable practitioners and experts in the field. Strong preference is given to peer-reviewed scientific literature. Where scientific evidence is lacking we recommend practices that have robust experiential foundations, are based on logic and reason and are practical in the multiple-dog setting of a sled dog kennel. Since it's foundation in 1991 the role of Mush with P.R.I.D.E. has been defined by our name - to Provide Responsible Information on a Dog's Environment. Experience has shown that the Mush with P.R.I.D.E. Sled Dog Care Guidelines must be updated regularly to keep pace with advances in science and communications as well as the ever-changing social perceptions of the many dog-powered activities that enhance not just our own lives, but the lives of our dogs as well. The current Mush with P.R.I.D.E. Board of Directors strongly feel that it is our job to research and provide responsible information and evidence based recommendations that give mushers and kennel operators a range of options from which to choose. It is the job of the musher or kennel operator to use this information to prevent unnecessary harm and promote the welfare of your own dogs.

Official Standard of the Chinook General Appearance: the Chinook
Page 1 of 3 Official Standard of the Chinook General Appearance: The Chinook was developed in the United States as a sled dog whose unique function was both drafting and sled dog racing. Bred to combine the power of freighting breeds with the speed of the lighter racing sled dogs, the Chinook is an athletic, hard bodied dog showing excellent forward reach and rear extension in a seemingly tireless gait. The Chinook is an impressive dog, with an aquiline muzzle, dark almond eyes, black eye markings, a variety of ear carriages, and a distinctive tawny, close fitting coat. The saber tail is held in a graceful sickle curve. Males appear unquestionably masculine; females have a distinctly feminine look and are judged equally with the male. A dignified and affectionate family dog, Chinooks are known for their love of children. The Chinook is to be presented in a natural condition with no trimming. The following is a description of the ideal Chinook. Size, Proportion, Substance: The Chinook is a slow maturing breed, often not reaching maturity before 4 to 5 years of age. Size - Ideal height at the withers: males 24 to 27 inches; females 22 to 25 inches. Proportion - When measuring from point of shoulder to the point of buttocks the Chinook is slightly longer than tall. Females may be somewhat longer in body. Substance - Muscular with moderate bone, a gender difference is easily discernible. The Chinook exemplifies a sound athlete in grace, muscle tone, movement, and carriage. Head: The head is broad, wedge-shaped, and impressive but in balance with the size of the dog.

Are Sled Dogs Part Wolf Article
Are Sled Dogs Part Wolf? Watching the movie, Balto, makes us think that sled dogs are part wolf. Are they? Historically, some dogs used to haul freight and mail in Alaska were mixes of wolves and dogs. Stories like Call of the Wild and Balto show these wolf dogs. People who study wolves say that wolves are primarily hunters. They do not pull. If a sled dog were part wolf, would it be a good sled team member? Possibly, however, some research shows that wolf dog mixes inherit the worst traits of Both animals. They usually aren’t good with children and can be unpredictaBle. Sled dogs, on the other hand, are well socialized. Veterinarians on the Iditarod race report that sled dogs enjoy human interaction, don’t mind Being examined at the checkpoints, and are happy, well-adjusted animals. They are motivated By love for their owners and handlers, being willing to do what they can to support the team for the goal of running and pulling the sled. Both wolves and sled dogs howl. According to Amy Robinson, dog expert for Sniff & Barkens’, “Siberian huskies, malamutes, and any sled dog mix love to exercise their vocal chords. Their howls are musical rather than sorrowful. These working dogs have the adventurous trait of wanting to see what is over that next hill, and since they often live in groups with other like-minded dogs, howling becomes a bonding activity between them.” Wolves howl to gather the pack together and to warn other packs to stay out of their territory.
