Welcome to the Jamaica Dogsled Team Blog. As we prepare for the upcoming racing season we look forward to writing about our training, the dogs, the travel, the fun -- home. So many people have come together with a sense of excitement and determination to make the Jamaica Dogsled Team a reality, we’ve asked some of these friends to contribute as well.
