The Dogs
The perfect sled dog is the Alaskan Husky with its thick fer and strong legs.Each dor must be healthy,so vets examine them carefully before the race begins.These dogs were originally used to transport goods and mail all over Alaska.However,when people started using snowmobiles,travelling by sled became less popular.This traditional form of transport seemed to be drying out until the lditarid race was started in 1973.
