Sled dogs have been used to transport people and supplies for more than a thousand years in northern regions. From Alaska to the Antarctic,note Antarctica would eventually be closed off to dogsledding in 1992, when all dogs were banned from the continent. This was due to concern that distemper and other viruses might be cross-transferable to Antarctic seals. sled dogs were frequently used in the far north, where vehicles would be impractical or even impossible to operate. Nowadays, dogsleds are largely considered an outdated form of transportation but are still used by indigenous peoples and in rural areas, and of course, during recreational dogsled races. In fiction set in northern regions, however, dogsledding will often be depicted as the dominant form of transportation due to its "exotic" nature. Expect to hear fictional mushers shouting mush as they prompt their dogs into motion. The dog team is likely to be composed of spitz-type dogs, though a diverse variety of breeds have been historically developed for draught work. The Siberian Husky remains the quintessential sledding breed in popular media (especially in Russia), although the Alaskan Husky — a non-standardized landrace bred solely for working ability — is preferred by actual North American mushers. Wolf-dog hybrids are also a popular choice in fiction, despite the fact they would make terrible working dogs in real life. Other breeds, such as the Alaskan Malamute, Chinook, and Greenland Dog, are rarely depicted in fiction, if at all. Such an adventure is a good way to show off an Heroic Dog. A common fixture of the Canadian Western and Husky Russkie. |

In "The Try Guys Race Dog Sleds", the guys travel to Alaska and learn how to travel by dogsled, culminating in a timed competition on a glacier. One of the mushers teaching them the sport even notes the real-world preference for Alaskan Huskies over Siberians and jokingly calls them "Slow-berians". | |

Doraemon: Great Adventure in the Antarctic Kachi Kochi has an impressive example as Doraemon and gang, in two separate sleds, crosses the Antarctic on a frenetic sled chase. They don't have dogs, but they have two rolls of Robot Wire which can take any forms by playing a tune, so they travel using two-dimensional robot sled-dogs made of wire. It works surprisingly well. | |

Balto is a fictitious telling of Balto and the 1925 serum run to Nome. Here, Balto is a wolf-dog hybrid. Regarding the sequels, Wolf Quest doesn't have anything to do with mushing, but Wings of Change is about Balto and other sled dogs proving their worth when air mail threatens to make them obsolete. | |

In Pugs of the Frozen North, all the teams' sleds are pulled by a team of animals. Shen and Sika's sled is pulled by the titular pugs (sixty-six in all). Prof. Shackleton Jones' sled is pulled by ROBODOGs until he trades them in for Mitzi's dogs. Sir Basil Sprout-Dumpling and Sideplate have standard huskies. Mitzi Von Primm has huskies styled to look like poodles. Helga Hammerfist's sled is pulled by polar bears. |
