what route will mushers take
16
it was to commemorate the serum race, mushers + dogs
hey how you doing
Kris Hoffman actually has 16 dogs total for the Iditarod race of 2011. All mushers start with 16 dogs
They run their dogs alot and slowly increase the distance.
there are usually around 60 people in the iditarod each year
They train and train by increasing distance over a period of time.
The mushers have baskets that carry the gear on the Iditarod Trail. These baskets are used to let the dogs rest while on break.
in the iditarod you can have a maximum of sixteen dogs and a minamum of twelve dogs!!! most mushers will end up with anywhere from eight to twelve dogs in the end!!!! this is because many mushers will lose dogs when they run away on the trail and because some mushers will leave there dogs at the check point if they are hurt or if they are overly tired. people at the check point will then take care of the dogs at the check point. in the end of the race they are reunited when theyre musher crosss the finish line!!! the iditarod face is a very stressful race but can also be very exciteing and is something thet all great mushers want to do. they may also enter in the Yukon quest race. so wwwwoooooowwwww.................maybe you should try the iditarod.............it could be fun!!! couldn't you just imagine a little two year old mushing a dogsled!!!!!!!!!!ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha wouldn't that be funny!!!!!!!!!!!yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeehhhhhhhaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mushers must ensure that their dogs are well cared for, including providing adequate food, water, shelter, and veterinary care. Dogs must be properly trained and conditioned for the demands of sledding. Mushers must follow race rules and regulations regarding treatment of dogs, including rest periods and veterinary check-ups. Mushers must prioritize the well-being and safety of their dogs at all times.
