Why I Love Dog Mushing

I have watched dog mushing for the longest time. I stared watching when I was 8. I finally decided that since we have so many dogs I started dogs mushing. There is a person that has been helping me with training the dogs its really working out. I was so proud of my self when I got a trophy for dog mushing because it was difficult and nobody else thought I could do it. There are many different types of sled dog breeds.

It was the Junior Race of Champions last year. I was coming around the last corner. I was 5 seconds behind 3rd place when all the sudden I thought I was in the snow. Well every one else has been in the snow in the exact same place, but I slid around the corner with out going in the snow, lucky I got my 5 seconds back and got 2 seconds more so I got third place.

It was very difficult.You have to train the dogs and make a sled and find or make harnesses.I was happy I finished that. The most famous dog race in the world, the Iditarod, takes place in Alaska. That would be an exciting race to be in!
