North Wapiti Siberian Husky Kennels
Iditarod 2003 - Sponsors

We are very grateful to the following individuals and companies
that are supporting our 2003 run to Nome!
 

Lead Dog Sponsors

If mushers are the coaches of a dog team, then lead dogs are the quarterbacks! Generally the fastest and the most responsive dogs on the team. Good lead dogs make or break a dog team! The shoulder a lot of responsibility, setting the pace down the trail and listening for the mushers commands!

Dawne Deeley & The Tsarshadow Gang - Sidney, B.C.
Westlock Vet Clinic - Westlock, Alberta
   Denise Linley - Farmington, B.C.
Alice & Lara Baker/Softworld, Inc - 
Los Alamos, New Mexico
Doug & Donna Finner - New Hampshire, USA
Stuffed Animal House - Langley, B.C.

  

Swing Dog Sponsors

Swing dogs are the dogs right behind the leaders. Normally the dogs here are also fully trained lead dogs. It is their responsibility to 'swing' the team around corners!

Team Dog Sponsors

Team dogs make up the bulk of a dog team. Lead dogs, swing, and wheel dogs all get chances to take a break from the other positions and run in the team!

Sabaka Kennels - Compton, Illinois
Dogbooties.com
John and Pam Kanzler - New York

 

Wheel Dog Sponsors

Wheel dogs are the power house of a dog team. The dogs immediately in front of the sled, they have one of the most physically demanding jobs in the team!
