Arthur Treadwell Walden, founder of the New England Sled Dog Club, Klondike Gold Rush participant, and well-known New England dog driver, was enjoying a successful run of publicity in New England in the late 1920s. His team of big, yellow mixed-breed sons of his famous leader The Great Chinook had done well on the local sleddog racing circuit, winning the Poland Spring race in 1926, and attracting great local interest in his dogs. The tour of the U. S. A. that Leonhard Seppala had embarked on in 1926 was timed to end in New England during the racing season. Walden had offered to host Seppala at his farm and inn in New Hampshire, and a challenge match was agreed to take place at the January 1927 race that would start from the well-known hotel at Poland Spring, Maine. Seppala was offered room and board at the hotel if he would bring two teams. Walden and Seppala travelled together with their respective dog teams to get from Wonalancet Farm to Poland Spr]]> Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:00:19 +0000 mod http://seppalawiki.pbwiki.com/ElizabethMRicker no.email.given@example.com (Anonymous) Anonymous edited ElizabethMRicker Elizabeth Miller Ricker

The **East Siberian Laika** (Vostotchno-Sibirskaia Laika) is a [[spitz]] type Russian hunting breed originating in parts of [Siberia] east of the [Yenisei River].

the Karelo-Finnish Russo-European Laika Russian breed.Recently breed, and the Finnish Spitz identical to the Karelo-Finnish Laika.Recently the Laika group has had several additions. The Reindeer Herding Laika of the Nenets people is said to be the origin of the Samoyed breed now found in western countries. The Yakutian Laika, whose status is still under discussion, is said to derive from sleddogs from what is now the Republic of Sakha in eastern Siberia mixed with Nenets stock. An effort is under way to preserve landrace sleddogs of the Amur River region. Also the Chukotka Draught Dog and the Kamchatka Sled Dog should probably also be considered a part of the Laika group.

The Pirena Dog Sled Race is a multi-day stage race, held in the Pyrennean mountains late in January each year. The majority of the race is run in Spain but it includes stages in both France and Andorra. First held in 1991, it is Europe's major mid-distance stage race and attracts a wide international entry.The winner of the first Pirena race was René Minartz, a Dutchman, who repeated his victory in 1993. Over the past 19 years, winners have come from Holland, France, USA, Canada, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Germany, and Spain. Elizabeth Edland of Norway was the first lady to win the Pirena in 2001.
