WAM is a email list for people living in Western Australia who have an interest in running their dogs in harness and learning more about the sport of mushing, dog care and health as well as other doggy activities.

It may not be instinctive for your breed of dog to pull in harness but it can be taught to many dogs.

Other topics of discussion include: rescue, backpacking, weightpull, general dog health and diet topics as well as sharing stories and information on our dogs and details of events in WA.

We train together regularily during winter and invite new people to come and see what fun it is, we even have equipment to loan if you want to have a go.

For more information on our dog sports and events please visit http://www.wassa.com.au/
