sled dogs

Sled dogs are specially trained dogs, often of breeds like Siberian Husky or Alaskan Malamute, used to pull sleds across snow and ice. They are strong, energetic, and well-adapted to cold climates, making them excellent for transportation, racing, and work in snowy regions. Sled dogs work as a team, guided by mushers who direct them via commands. Their endurance and teamwork enable them to cover long distances efficiently, providing vital transportation, recreation, and cultural connections in Arctic and sub-Arctic areas.
