The guidelines also cover travelling with these animals within Greenland. In order to protect the Greenlandic Sled Dog as a breed Act no. 18 of 30 October 1998 establishes a so called sled dog district. The territory is defined as follows: th ● North of Greenland on the West Coast from north of 66 ​ northern degree of latitude, ​ th ● The entire East Coast down to Kap Farvel, east of the 44 ​ western degree of longitude. ​ Within this district, only Greenlandic Sled Dogs may be kept and it is strictly prohibited to bring other dogs into these areas.

  • The Iditarod Trail Dog Sled Race
    Reading Comprehension/ Sports Name ___________________________________________ Date _________________ THE IDITAROD TRAIL DOG SLED RACE The “Iditarod” is a dog sled race that is held every year in Alaska in March. Dog sled racing is a sport, and the Iditarod is one of the most difficult races. In a dog sled race, a group of dogs pull a sled across the snow, guided by a person who stands on the sled behind the dogs. The race may be short (called a sprint race) or long. In the Iditarod, the racers take about ten days to cover a distance over 1150 miles (1,852 km). Dog sled racing is a type of mushing. Mushing refers to any type of dog pulling any kind of transport across the snow. Mushing is used to move materials (including the mail) over snow-covered ground that cars, trains, and other transportation cannot get over. People who drive dog sleds are called mushers. In mushing, dogs are harnessed, or hooked up, to the sled. There may be only one dog or many dogs. The number depends on how much is being pulled and how far, the type of ground, and the reason that the dog is pulling. The type of dog also depends on the load and the purpose. If the load is heavy, more dogs are used. If it is important to go far, then strong dogs are used. If it is important to go fast, dogs that can run very quickly are used. If the team is big, it’s important that the dogs be calm and able to work in groups.
