This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

Was reading a bit about Josh McNeal, who apparently bought out Ken Anderson's dogs.

Thanks again, Eggs. Great story. Wonderful dog. Now easing into retirement. May her retirement be long and may she find it pleasurable. Be the kennel queen, Sable.

Hal Hanson is interesting. He grew up in Stillwater, OK, trained cutting horses and had a successful farrier business. He decided it was too hot, moved to Alaska and took up mushing. I liked his interview. Seems very calm and grounded.
