Welcome to the New Zealand
Federation of Sled Dog Sports

The NZFSS is the governing body under which all associated clubs come together in a Federation. The NZFSS provides a structured constitution and rule set for events as well as a point and Championship award programme.

Dog powered sports is an Autumn and Winter sport and in New Zealand, we are fortunate to enjoy training and races in both Dryland and Snow. Traditionally, arctic breeds like the Siberian Husky or Alaskan Malamute have been associated with Dog Powered Sport. Over the last 20 years, a continuing shift towards all dog breeds participating has been seen and it makes our sport more inclusive.
