It is a great resource, with listings of events, clubs, suppliers, and mentors. When you are getting started it can be absolutely valuable to have a mentor. Someone with experience who can help make sure you are getting the correct gear, well fitted and designed for mushing. And local clubs also offer a great amount of information and put you in touch with established mushers in your area. If you are very lucky you may even be able to work with some of thier dogs to help learn more about the sport. here is the clubs listing: http://www.sleddogcentral.com/clubs_usa.htm and the mentors listing: http://www.sleddogcentral.com/beginners/mentor_list_usa_states.htm You might also consider voluntering to be a handler for an established musher, it is a great way to learn and gain experience without having to purchase your own dog team and all the gear that goes along with it. many people are not really aware of how expensive (and addictive) this sport can be. Even a small recreational team will cost you a really huge amount of money. You may find cheaper dogs, but you still have to feed and care for them. Also working dogs really do have special requirements, both physical and mental. As someone new to working with sled dogs I strongly recommend that you find a good local mentor to make sure you know what you are getting into, and learn about how to live with working dogs<br><b>References : </b><br>Alaskan musher I recommend all new musher go to Sled Dog Central.

As the dog matures you can add weight, allowing the dog to "work" to his potential, and of course fulfilling that primal need. It's great that you're aware of the importance not only to exercise your dog, but to give them a "job" also. Makes for a healthy and happy dog.<br><b>References : </b><br> Most will just get a harness and a wagon.
