We are very grateful to the following individuals and
companies
that are supporting our 2005 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!

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!
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!
