Our club, Western Australia Sleddog Sports Association (WASSA), was formed in 1991 (initially under the name of Alaskan Malamute Association of Western Australia but changed due to the variety of breeds the club has attracted), to bring this sport to the dog owners of Western Australia. The club has grown quickly over the years, and our members enjoy the benefits of participating in training days and races over the colder months of the year. Dog sledding is depicted as involving long tracks through the snow with large teams of Siberian Huskies or Alaskan Malamutes. In Australia, and more specifically Western Australia, snow is impossible to come by. To combat this, the sport of dog sledding has been re-invented using scooters and rigs in place of the normal snow sled, and using any breed that has a desire to pull, run and just have fun. You won't be disappointed.
