Blue Ridge Dryland Mushers
Sled Dog Club - A division of the Rescue
A new club website is being designed separate from our rescue page. A link will connect to it upon completion.
On February 9, 2008 the rescue held a meeting to discuss The Blue Ridge Dryland Mushers sled dog club as a division of our rescue. The group in attendance accepted By laws, Code of Ethics, and Membership Dues and the club division of our rescue began.
