WA Sleddog Sports Association

Official public page for WASSA - Western Australian Sleddog Sports Association We welcome any breed of dog to come along to a training day and have a go.

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.

CANCELLED RACE - Tour de Pines 2, 13th September

With great sadness, the committee has made the difficult decision to CANCEL this weekends Tour de Pines 2 race. The weather forecast is too high, and dog safety is always our first concern.

In good news, we have the final canicross race, on the 20th September, Paws in the Pines. Entries for this event are OPEN on Show Manger now.
