Everything I Know about Training and Racing Sled Dogs
by George Attla, edited by Bella Levorson
In the first comprehensive book ever written about sled dog racing, George Attla, one of the world’s top-ranking mushers, passes on all the secrets he has learned in a lifetime devoted to this highly competitive sport. George tells everything he knows, from the breeding, feeding, and training of sled dogs, to the equipment needed and the strategy of winning a race. And he tells it all in an easy, informal style, sprinkled with anecdotes and homespun philosophy. George’s collaborator Bella Levorsen trained and raced a team herself.
