Sleds & Dogs added January 2012

British Columbia

1981

I built sleds and trained dogs for a few years. Sleds were built of Maple, Oak & rawhide made from Deer hides. The only metal used was for the brake. I made and sold several of these sleds.

All my dogs were malemutes. Big tough dogs used for pulling heavy loads.

Here are a few pictures. I will write about them when I can manage the time

I had 18 of these critters one time. They could eat a Deer a day if they had it.
