Hey everyone
I come from a very very small community of petz 5 sled racing enthusiasts and i believe that not alot of people that play petz know about the wonderful world that is sledging.
So please take the time to read this post about the world of sledging and see if you fancy having a go at entering some competitions that i may post on this forum if i am allowed.
First off i will explain to you how it all works.
So you adopt you team of dogs
Next you have to go through the training proses for this you simply have to hold a treat and teach the dog to run at it with its eyes facing either you or forward.
After you pups have been trained and they have grown up you can start to learn about the different positions on the team
e.g - your two back dogz are your Wheel dogz, they are the largest and strongest members of your team.
- Your next two dogz are your Team dogz , they are the Power of the group.
- Your next two dogz are your Swing dogz, they are responsible to the controlle of the team (turning)
- and your first dog/dogz are your Lead dogz, they are they eyes of the team.
As you have probably noticed in my photos all my dogz are wearing a special harness designed for sledging, if anyone would like to get this harness then please let me know what your email is so i can send it to you.
What breeds can you race with?
ANY!
However some races will require dogz that are of certain highs for example using chihuahuas wouldn't be the best dog to use for racing.
There are 8 approved racing backgrounds that must be used in your teams racing picture when entering into competitions, Click on the link and then save the picture to your PC.

That is pretty much it for now i will try to add some more tomorrow but its getting late.
If you like you can post pictures on this thread of your new teams if you decide that you would like to give sled racing a go :-)
Have fun and bye for now :-D
