Dear Friends,

Have you noticed what the sled dogs are wearing?  Sometimes they are stylin’ in the race!  Sled dogs have accessories that are practical for running across Alaska.  Colorful booties on their feet keep wet snow from packing up between their toe pads. With designer harnesses or just plain, the dogs look official and have what they need to pull the sled.  

Nice harnesses and booties that match

Long doggie leg warmers are used by some of the lead dogs when they have to break trail through deep snow.  Dog coats are carried in sleds until needed by the dogs for very cold temperatures.  Some of these coats even have secret compartments in which to put hand warmers to add  extra warmth!

We dogs don’t really care what we wear, but we appreciate how our mushers love and care for us!

Until next time, this is your canine reporter,

Gypsy
