Racing
If you are new to dog sled racing and need some tips and background on what you'll need to survive during a dog sled race, you are on the right website. Racing usually takes place in the arctic regions of the United States as well as Russia, Greenland, and Canada (where Call of The Wild takes place). Also, some European countries hold competitions with teams of dog sleds. First thing you'll need is a sled. Sleds usually are 6-14 feet long. They are lightweight, strong, and durable. Even though sleds can hold hundreds of pounds, you have to have a fexible sled to do the job. If its too stiff the sled would be too hard to drive. When it comes to the number of dogs used to pull a sled, people usually use no more than 10 dogs. More times than not, mushers only have between one and four dogs.
