Dammit

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!

I think I heard Bruce and greg say we had gone 5 years since this happened. Fuel for PETA :oops:

I see now that Issac has scratched due to rule 42

So sad. After so many good years too.
I hope the necropsies tell what happened to these dogs, and it's something that can be prevented happening in other dogs.
