My name is Sled Dog Ed U. Cation. I am a recent retired dog from the Iditarod. I was born in late October and hail from the Midwest. As soon as I was old enough and exhibited top-notch running abilities, my owner moved me to Alaska to begin training for the Iditarod Dog Sled Race. What an experience that was learning the ins and outs of the awe-inspiring Iditarod. For approximately 6 years I ran the trail and have now hung up my harness! Throughout every race, I absolutely loved the children I met along the trail, the people helping one another and, most of all; I enjoyed teaching other dogs the new tricks. Because I still have so much energy and enthusiasm for the Iditarod Race, I have decided to move on to sharing my repertoire of experiences, knowledge and interests regarding the race. Having been a lead dog I want to use that training to lead teachers and educators to the awareness of, inspiration in and resources for the Iditarod Dog Sled Race.
You will be able to find me, Sled Dog Ed, monthly or more often sharing my ideas and places to locate resources for teaching about the great race in which I participated. Sled Dog Ed is ready to move educators through the obstacles and down the trail….so bundle up and hold on for the ride!!!
