Wheel Dogs

March 20, 2011 by robertforto 2 Comments

Wheel dogs are those nearest the sled, and a good wheeler must have a relatively calm temperament so as not to be startled by the sled moving just behind it. Strength, steadiness, and ability to help guide the sled around tight curves are qualities valued in dogs.

Think of wheel dogs as the offensive linemen in football. These guys never get the glory of the TV commercials but they are an integral part of the team.
