The Dogs
The perfect sled dog is the Alaskan Husky with its thick fur and strong legs.Each dog 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 dying out until the Iditarod Race was started in 1973.
