Leonhard Seppala : the Siberian dog and the golden age of sleddog racing 1908-1941
Bob Thomas, Pam Thomas, Ellen J. Lehman (Donor)
The Nome Kennel Club was founded ostensibly to sponsor races as a way to settle the never-ending dispute over who owned the best dogs. The club s rules for participation led to a greater respect for and care of sled dogs in a way that, until recently, had yet to be fully appreciated. That Leonhard Seppala and his Siberians became the ambassadors carrying the Nome Kennel Club s humane dog care message from Nome to New England was inevitable nice-looking, calm, friendly dogs who adored their driver and a charismatic man who loved his dogs. --Page 4 of cover
