History

[edit]

International Federation of Sleddog Sports was officially incorporated in 1992 as a way to focus the efforts of many national, local and international organizations on the goal of Olympic recognition and alignment of mushing with other mainstream sports through the General Association of International Sports Federations. IFSS is recognized by GAISF and in all countries as the world governing body of sled dog sports. 2013 saw the headquarters relocated from USA to Europe, Belgium.[9]
