Do blind Eskimos have seeing-eye sled dogs?
"Seeing Eye" is a trademark of the Seeing Eye in NJ. Only dogs trained by the Seeing Eye are properly called "Seeing Eye Dogs." It is a common misconception that guide dogs direct their owners. Guide dogs work by giving information to their blind owners. It is the human partner who ultimately makes decisions about where the team will go and how they will get there. The guide just notifies the handler of obstacles in the path and lets the human decide what to do about the obstacles. A sled dog has no way to transmit this kind of information to the driver of the sled. So in that sense, no, there are no guide sled dogs. There is, however, at least one sled dog team driven by a blind driver in sledding competitions. A second team driven by a sighted driver accompanies the blind driver and gives her information via a radio about obstacles in her path. Without that assistance, she is not able to safely drive her dogs on unfamiliar routes.
