Hi Yvonne,
Where was this dogsled race? It's not the Iditarod? Wow, no Huskies! Those dogs look happy! Great photo!

The sled dog race was in Fairbanks. It was the GCI Open North American Championship, which is a three day aggregate time sprint race. They mush approximately 20 miles on Friday and Saturday and 30 on Sunday. The winner is determined by the total time it took to do all three days of racing.
They start and finish right in downtown Fairbanks on Second Avenue. The haul in tons of snow each night to groom the trail in town. The rest of the trail goes onto the Chena River and then off through a somewhat undeveloped area of town including the local sled dog racing association's course.
As for the breeds of dogs, they generally race with hybred mixes, to keep the dogs in or around 45-50 lbs. I was reading about the winner's breeding theory and he's been using Alaskan Huskies along with European pointer breeds. It is a very interesting sport.
Last year there was one dog team that was all matching huskies (like 16 of them). It was a beautiful sight! Here is a photo I took at that event:

I love dogs!
Hi Yvonne,
Dogs are so honest! Look how happy they are working so hard! Great photo! It looked like there were Dobermann in the other photos.
This must have been a thrill to watch! You are a lucky lady!

If you ever have any doubt about their excitement and desire to run, all you have to do is see them when they are at the starting line (they go off one team at a time, with a two minute stagger). The dogs are held for the ten second count down. They can be seen jumping and prancing as it gets down to 3, 2 . . . 1 and off they go. They really do enjoy running.
It really is a spectacular sight, one I feel blessed to have experienced.

My arm was twisted and I got in to a small plane at Wrangall St Elias NP
Was amazed to see such huge hunks of ice floating around at the end of many of the glaciers

The Grinch in his lair Universal's Islands of Adventure in FL during the show and narration...
The make-up on the Whoville characters was designed by the same folks who did the live-action movie. The dog was awesome, so well-trained! Here's the whole cast singing the finale song...

Celtic Cross in Irish Cemetary
With this the week of two holidays, St. Patrick's Day and Easter, I thought this Celtic Cross was a good photo to submit to help celebrate the two. Enjoy!
