In the winter of 1999, we did a survey of call names of modern sled dogs (whose owners were) on Sibernet-L, Malamute-L & Sleddog-L. We weren't concerned with the registered names, just the common names used in everyday living. "Come, Tosha." "Leave it, Misha." We heard from 3000 sled dogs with 1800 different names.

Sled dogs have been pulling sleds and carrying supplies and people for thousands of years. The traditional materials for sled construction included wood, bone, sinew, and rawhide. Steel bolts came later, and were followed by plastics, aluminum, and today, materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber. Regardless of the materials, all modern dog sleds have certain common characteristics.
