       Welcome to the OFSS
  
The Club for "ALL" Dog Powered Sport Enthusiasts

The OFSS is a group who welcomes ALL! We are presently working very hard to change the image of the OFSS to better incorporate "ALL" whether you have one dog or one hundred dogs. You don't have to race to be a part of this club.
We are working on organizing other events separate from the races which are already established. We are trying to come up with new ideas that will better suit the needs of the recreational person. Anyone with any breed of dog that can pull is welcome to join. Contact the President or Vice President for further information and member contacts.
Present members can bring the newcomer a wealth of information to make working with your dogs more enjoyable each and everyday.

We are a chow rescue in Eastern Canada, dedicated to placing the right dogs in the right homes,  and have 3 excellent chow /husky mixes who would be more than appropriate for ski jorring or sledding.
These dogs are young ( aged 1 -  1.5 years old), in excellent health, have excellent barrels and stand 23 - 25 in at the shoulder and weigh in at about 60 - 70 lbs. If you can help please contact.

Newton Marshal, an impoverished, illiterate Jamaican is the first black man in history to complete the international 1000-mile Yukon Quest, "the world's toughest race" and Alaska's Iditarod, "the last great race." 

The story of him accomplishing that unlikely achievement is about visionaries - a Jamaican businessman, a world-famous musician from Florida, a Scottish dog musher, a special needs teacher from Michigan, champion dog drivers Hans Gatt (Yukon) and Lance Mackay (Alaska) and Newton himself -who believe in challenging boundaries and stereotypes to overcome adversity and impact society.

Newboro Race has made a date change and a race change. Check out the Race Schedule for details.
