Dog mushing

Dog mushing is a form of transportation and sport where a team of dogs, typically sled dogs like Siberian Huskies or Alaskan Malamutes, pull a sled across snow or ice. Skilled mushers guide the team using a harness and a sled’s towline, relying on teamwork, training, and navigation. This activity has historical roots in Arctic travel and is now popular in racing events like the Iditarod. It combines physical endurance, animal care, and outdoor skill, emphasizing a close bond between mushers and their dogs.
