Seppala Sleddog Culture

UNLESS the sport of recreational dog driving is backed up by a strong cultural and ethical heritage, it will probably be doomed in these days of unbridled extremism and the public advancement of agendas such as those of extremist "animal- rights" organisations such as PETA and HSUS.
IT IS THEREFORE TIME for those of us who value the close human/animal bond we experience with our sleddogs to place before the public the aspects of our sport that we most cherish. We must counter the distortions and negative propaganda of the lunatic fringe with the truth about recreational sleddog sport.
THIS SECTION OF THE SSSD PROJECT WEBSITE will start off in a small way, but we hope it will grow into a rich and varied celebration of the joy of driving a team of happy, willing sleddogs and of living with Seppala Siberians.
