Hello,

I'm currently researching Inuit sled dogs for an assignment for my Post Graduate diploma in animal behaviour and read with interest about this thesis. I was wondering how I would be able to obtain a copy. It would be an invaluable resource to me.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you can help,

Best wishes,

C.G.

To Geneviève and Sue,

Hi my name is Maren Vsetula and I live in Igloolik, Nu. This is my third year living and working in the Arctic and I thoroughly love it! My dream for the longest time has been to have a dog team and this year I went for it. I now have nine three-month-old ISD puppies. I love them!

I have been very excited by your journal and have collected a lot of useful information. I was wondering if you know of any other sources of information regarding raising ISD dogs and training. I am very keen on having a strong, well trained team but also know that ISDs are quite different to Siberians that I am used to and that the techniques and training is going to be different.

Can you recommend anything to me?

Thanks so much for your time,

Maren Vsetula
