Abstract: Disclosed is a dog sled that has improved steering capabilities, and includes spaced-apart sideframes and a plurality of rigid cross ties that hold the sideframes spaced apart in parallel relationship, the cross ties connecting to the side frames by flexible joints, and a flexible bumper or brush bow interconnects front ends of the sideframes. A runner is secured to each sideframe, the front end of the runner connects to the front of the sideframe and a central part of the runner connects to the lower end of the sideframe, providing the runner with a long, rearwardly extending portions. A handle extends transversely from the upper part of one sideframe to the upper part of the other sideframe, and each opposite end of the handle pivotally connects to the sideframe for rotation about an axis in the vertical plane of the sideframe and inclined at a substantial angle between the horizontal and the vertical.
