Don't forget, however, that the Iditarod is supposed to emulate the famous race
when Baldo brought serum to Nome (or something like that)........it IS based on
a true event.......
AND there was a team of purebred Malemutes that also successfully completed
the Itidarod a few years ago..........all bred by
Nancy Russell of Wisconsin...........
The Husky is the speed dog, the Malemute the load puller..........don't know
exactly where the Samoyed comes in, tho!

criticism of them.....they have a goal...and they are doing whatever it takes
to meet that goal. Promoting a certain "type" of dog is not one of them.
