I have a husky and i want to get a dog sled. I don’t know if I should get a wooden one or another kind. What kind of bindings should i get also? Should i get leather or tenon? I have no idea.What kind works best? It needs to be cheap too.

This site has links to sled dog clubs, dog food and equipment suppliers, race schedules and everything else to do with sled dogs. If price is an issue consider a second hand sled. A good sled dog sport for one dog is skijoring. That’s 1 or 2 dogs pulling a cross country skier. Go to a dog sled race and talk to the mushers and see what they use for equipment.
Here’s a good source for harnesses, lines, collars and hardware.http://www.nooksackracing.com

If you live in an area with enough snow to sled, there is likely a sledding organization near you. Most welcome newbies willing to learn.
There is an old book called Mush!. Probably the best one anywhere. Also a periodical called Mushing. If you have a purebred Siberian Husky, contact the closest siberian husky club. They all have mushers, not just show people. Look for clubs online.
You need to work with an experienced musher, you could really injure your dog if you don’t know what you’re doing. I know this from experience.
