Racing Sled Dog News

Two bronze medals won at IFSS Dryland World Champs..

The Sled Dog Association of Scotland (SDAS) has made a commitment to developing the sport of Sleddog racing in the UK under the guidance of the IFSS. The introduction of a qualifying and selection process was a part of this commitment.

Thanks to the continuing support of CSJ, sponsoring the SDAS championship series and National championship/qualifying races, SDAS is moving from strength to strength.

The team of 8 humans and 30 canines competed in 10 classes from 6 dog rig to 1 dog Bikejor and Canicross.  The event which received a record entry has been hailed the biggest Sleddog event in the world.  The team returned proud with all members gaining top 10 positions in a highly competitive field and bronze medals being won by Tobias Leask with his team of 6 Scandinavian hounds and Martin Owen with his team of 4 Siberian huskies.

Huge thanks go to CSJ for helping make this first selected unified team possible, by providing team kit for all competitors enabling them to fly the UK flag and promote the benefits of CSJ canine feeds with pride.
