Dog Sledding

Susan Butcher is a woman who has raced the Iditarod, and survivied, and who raised sled dogs for decades. She brings some of her dogs, by plane no less, to a remote snow glacier for some fun and a revealing education into the sport.     Dogs that can follow their driver's call and guide the sled around problems fetch a good price, sometimes more than $10,000. Meet some real sled dogs, which may not be the picture postcard sled dogs you are used to seeing. These are real runners, each with a personality and their own harness.     Following in footsteps centuries old- and some that continue today, we harness up the dogs and find out what it takes to really go somewhere. It's not all the dogs, and it's not all the driver. But it's 100% adventure, ready for the taking.
