Our newest farmstay in Western Australia is Hampton View Homestead B & B Farmstay hosts a wonderful event with Dog Sledding in May or June each year. You might wonder how an outback farm can host a dog sledding event when there’s no snow. Here the Western Australian Sleddog Sports Association (WASSA) use scooters and rigs in place of the normal snow sled, and using any breed that has a desire to pull, run or just have fun. We’re expecting a colourful crew of hounds including; Akitas, Labradors, Great Danes, German Shorthaired Pointers, Retrievers, Kelpies, Shepherds, Border Collies and many mixes. There are strict safety rules that no dog is to be run at temperatures above 15 degrees. We’ve already gone out there and made all the tracks ready. It’s going to look very pretty with the crop growing, and the dogs racing around. Usually they go in the forest one end and come out the other end. This will be even more entertaining for spectators because they’ll actually can see the dogs racing.
