It turns out there’s more to dog sled racing than playing with cute, fluffy doggies. Carly was pretty sure the world of dog sled racing would be the best adventure ever. She loves dogs! What could be better than playing with them all the time? Soon Carly’s head is spinning with too much information...ganglines, and dog commands, and which dog gets to be lead dog. Maybe dog sledding isn’t the thing for her, after all. But when a musher friend goes missing during a race, Carly has to make a choice. Does she give in to her fears, or does she jump on a sled and face the dangers of the trail? Musher Carly is the seventh book in the Carly’s Cave series by Kathi Walker. Written for early readers, this series blends adventure, education, and lots and lots of fun. If you like Magic Tree House, you’ll love Carly’s Cave!

Once infected with the mushing virus, there is no cure -- there is only the trail Don Bowers learned the truth of these words as he lived his dream of running Alaska's grueling 1,100-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. With no mushing experience and little money, but with a spirit of adventure and support from friends, he started from scratch to put together a team. Over the next two years, he discovered that becoming a serious musher is not to be undertaken by the faint of heart, or by those who cannot learn to laugh at themselves and keep going in the face of daunting difficulties and dangers. By the time he eventually pulled under the famous burled arch at the end of Front Street in Nome, his perspective on life had been changed forever by his dogs and by the staggering scope and intensity of the Iditarod. This is Everyman's Iditarod, a tribute to the dedicated dreamers and their dogs who run to Nome in back of the pack with no hope of prize money or glory. This is truly the rest of the story" of the Last Great Race on Earth."

The Iditarod may be the only race that awards a prize for last place. But then how many people can even complete a course that ranges across 1,000 miles of Alaska's ice fields, mountains, and canyons at temperatures that sometimes plunges to 100 degrees below zero? In conditions like these, anything can go wrong. For Brian Patrick O'Donoghue, nearly everything did. In My Lead Dog Was a Lesbian, his reporter and intrepid novice musher tells what happened when he entered the 1991 Iditarod, along with seventeen sled dogs with names like Harley, Screech, and Rainy, his sexually confused lead dog. O'Donoghue braved snowstorms and sickening wipeouts, endured the contempt of more experienced racers (one of whom was daft enough to use poodles), and rode herd of four-legged companions who would rather be fighting or having sex. It's all here, narrated with self-deprecating wit, in a true story of heroism, cussedness and astonishing dumb luck.

For centuries, sled dogs pulled the people of northern climates over otherwise impassable distances of snow and ice, guiding them home through trackless wilderness. These burly, strong dogs were the lifeblood of the northern winter world. Today, from races like the famed Iditarod and the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon to sled dog tours, people from all climates are rediscovering the joy of this dog-powered sport. Born to Pull is a celebration of sled dogs who love to run in cold and snowy Minnesota, including lively stories from veteran mushers, insider information on dog care and training, and breathtaking watercolor illustrations that make the dogs come to life on the page.

The inspirational first person story of a young dog sled racer who had to overcome incredible odds to compete: she is legally blind For more than eleven years, twenty-one-year-old Rachael Scdoris has been guiding teams of sled dogs across jagged mountain ranges, frozen rivers, dense forests, and desolate tundra at speeds exceeding twenty mph. Not only is Rachael the youngest athlete to ever complete a 500-mile sled dog race mile, but she is also legally blind and has been since birth. Though she faced resistance from race organizers, Rachael finally achieved her goal of competing, with the aid of a visual interpreter, in the 2005 Iditarod Trail International Sled Dog Race across the wilds of Alaska. No End in Sight is a story full of heartache and hope, challenge and courage-- and ultimately the triumph of dreaming big and working to make those dreams come true.

This book was published many years ago in Germany. With more than 10000 sold copies it was unexpected succesful. Now for the first time in English. Fully coloured, with lots of illustrations and up to date. It is not only the novice musher, who wants to learn more, it is the sleddog tourist as well, who wants to know more about this complex sport with its canine athletes.Whirling snow between gliding runners, powered forward by a relentless urge. Panting they lope along the sinuous trail, the deeply snow-covered scenery passes by. A feeling like flying, ecstasy - the fascination of the sleddog sport!The sleddogsport is not always percieved this way, but it holds a geat fascination: the unity of human and animal. Anyone, who has ever experienced this feeling, will never forget it. You may say this sport is not for you, because I live in the wrong region of the world. But it is not only Alaska, Greenland and Siberia where you can practice this sport. You can do it everywhere in the world. If you can not find snow, then take the cart. It does not matter riding on snow or mud, the fascination remains, being on the road with the team of human and dog.In many places it is certainly not easy to keep more than one dog, but often there is another musher close by. You need nothing except the love for animals to start practicing this sport.This booklet cannot cover all aspects of this sport, as it is much too complex. Instead I want to give an overview of sleddog breeding, the techniques of working with an enthusiastic sleddogteam and how to take care of these fascinating animals.It is not the intention of this book to show you how to make a sleddog out of any dog. It is remarkable, that 99% of all sleddogbreedings run and pull without ever having done it before.But every Musher (french: march�r - to run) should know more about this sport than just standing on the runners. You should know how to steer a sled, how to feed the dogs, how to take care of their health and how to solve problems on the trail. This book will begin to teach you the basics, I hope.

In IDITAROD ADVENTURES, mushers explain why they have chosen this rugged lifestyle, what has kept them in long-distance mushing, and the experiences they have endured along that unforgiving trail between Anchorage and Nome. Renowned sports writer Lew Freedman profiles 23 mushers—men, women, Natives, seasoned veterans, and some relatively new to the demanding sport, many of whom are so well-known in Alaska that fans refer to them only by their first names. The book also features interviews with administrators who organize the event and make sure it happens every year, volunteers, and others whose connection to the Iditarod is self-evident even if they don’t have an official title.

A delightful photographic journey into a year in the life of a team of sled dogs, based on Braverman’s wildly popular Twitter feed When Blair Braverman started posting pictures of her dog team on Twitter, she had no idea the response she would get. Being a musher, after all, isn’t just about racing—raising dogs from puppyhood to retirement (and beyond) is a full-time job. She and her husband, musher Quince Mountain, wanted to share stories about life with their dog team. And not just the big stuff, like expeditions and wild animal encounters, but also the everyday things: the challenge of storing a thousand pounds of raw meat, scouting new trails with the dogs, the decisions that go into putting a team together, how she trains puppies to be brave. These were goofy stories, scary stories, heartfelt stories, stories that clearly connected with people and kept going viral. Inspired by those connections, Dogs on the Trail is a chronicle of a year in the life of their dog team. Beginning in the fall as the weather starts to cool, training on both dry land and in the snow, then camping and racing. Spring brings mud—lousy for sledding, but the dogs love it. And summer is the season of puppies. The book ends on a beginning, in anticipation of the adventurous lives that the new pups have in store. An irresistible adventure, Dogs on the Trail will delight and entertain while taking you inside a musher’s world, and showing you why the wilderness isn’t simply a place to visit but also a home to return to.
