Today’s the start of the Skijor Loppet here in Minneapolis! 🎿🐶❄️🐾 This sketch was inspired by the team effort of my partner and pooch in last year’s events, best of luck to all the dogs and skiers out there this weekend!

The most famous country for Skijoring is Switzerland. The very first skijoring race occurred in the Engadine valley was in 1906. Skijoring became so famous and prevalent that races were moved onto a pre-arranged track.

It is a type of recreational activity or sport usually played in winter, in which a person sits on a horse, a dog, or other animals and is then pulled by them and skis on the snow. The word skijoring means ski driving. It is also used as a mode of transportation but primarily as a sport that involves competition.

In Scandinavian countries, skiing was top-rated, and people in those countries still enjoyed it. In places like Tromso, Norway, Inari, etc., they practice Skijoring by reindeer. It is not only restricted to humans, but also many dog breeds also participate in Skijoring. It just requires skills and desire to run down a trail, which is a natural quality in dogs. As this requires significant endurance and strength, only athletic dogs are seen more in Skijoring, and small dogs are often absent.

The longest Skijoring race is KALEVALA which takes place in Kalevala, Karelia, Russia. It covers a distance of 440 km. The second longest is the Stream Sprinter 120, which happens in Whitehorse, Yukon, with a distance of 190 km. The highest-level skijoring dashing groups on the planet are German Shorthaired Pointers, Alaskan Huskies, Pointer/Greyhound blends, or crosses between these varieties.
