History of Dog Mushing in Canada

Dog Sledding has been in Canada, North America and Siberia for 4000 years; according to archaeological evidence as stated by The International Federation of Sled Dog Sports. Circa 1000 A.D. the Thule Inuit migrated to Arctic Canada from what is now Alaska bringing with them the first Canadian Eskimo dogs. The people and the dogs relied on each other for everyday survival in harsh conditions. Researchers believe that life in Northern Canada may not have been possible without sled dogs........ more
