2006 Canada $250 Dog Sled Team 14K Gold

2006 Canada $250 Dog Sled Team 14K Gold Coin

Long before cars and snowmobiles, dog sledding was one of the primary methods of transportation around Canada during the winter months. It all started with the first Aboriginal people that inhabited Canada and their lives depended on performing daily tasks even in really bad weather and the dogs were a huge help in getting them accomplished. At present, the spirit of the canines lives on in the Canadian Eskimo Dog and the well known Siberian Husky. Dog sledding is still used today in some northern areas but also as a popular recreational activity.
