Sled Dog Racing


During our Beaver Round-Up we had our sled dog races which start and end at the Lily Pond. I was playing with features on my camera and wanted to share a movie here. Anyhoo, the second team to leave the chute on Saturday proved how well the teams listen to the musher. At the start they had a dog come undone. The team stopped, and when the comman was given the lead dog started them again. In my video footage you can see the lead dogs looking back at the musher, while the other dogs are waiting for a command from the lead dog. Pretty neat. The still picture, which I will share here, is of an old-timer named Blunka who has been racing since before Phillip and I were around. He is really fun to watch.
