UK SLED DOG ASSOCIATION FINAL Drumlanrig Castle. Dumfriesshire. Sat 4—Sun 5 Mar. ‘Run really fast! Pull things! Run really fast and pull things!‘ shout the eager canines as you stand at the start line and watch them rearing up on hind legs. straining at their ropes attached to Range Rovers. If they had bits they would be champing at them.
As the countdown begins the dogs quiet down and dig their claws in for a push off; when they do run it‘s like a catapult being released. Off they go. pelting into the distance. Wander round to the end of the course and the same team of dogs come lolloping across the line pulling their musher. with tongues dangling out of mouths to applause and scratches behind the ear.
Sadly. Scotland isn‘t blessed with a climate to guarantee a snowy track. so the folks who race dogs in this country use wheeled rigs to race. leaving them covered head to toe in mud. But. when the use of rigs gets a bit too easy there are always new challenges, says Steven Lindsay. project manager of Dog Sport Scotland and World and UK Sled Dog Champion. 'One of the fun things we do is called Canicross. where you are attached to a dog by a harness and you sprint along behind as it runs.‘ Fun? Yikes.
The culmination of a winter's worth of races descends on Drumlanrig Castle for the Dog Sport Scotland and the Sled Dog Association of Scotland Final. Expect two days of exciting races and events. including 'Hug a Husky‘ (yes please) and a presentation from Libby Riddles. the
It's a little known fact that many types of breeds are first woman to win the lditarod. Get ready, now mush! used to race. Some dogs are purpose-bred and can I ' " -' ' ' " ' "I ‘ look like hounds or the archetypal Husky, but all are .' i -' v strong and resilient. capable of running sprint races or ' I ‘ anything up to the 1200 mile lditarod Trail in Alaska.
