Jamaica Dogsled Team

The Jamaica Dogsled Team is a team of sled dogs and mushers (sled dog racers) headquartered at Chukka Caribbean Adventures in Ocho Rios, located in Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica. The dog team is made up of strays rescued by the Jamaica Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and offers dryland dogsled rides, along with the adventure center's other outdoor experiences. In addition, the two mushers Newton Marshall and Damion Robb, compete in sled races throughout the US and Canada, using leased dog teams. (Jamaican dogs taken out of the country are not allowed to return due to quarantine regulations.) Country music singer Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville is the team's major sponsor.
==Beginnings==
The Jamaica Dogsled Team was started in 2005 by Danny Melville, owner of Chukka Caribbean Adventures. Melville was shopping for dune buggies at Badland Buggies, a fabrication shop in Edmonton, Alberta, when he saw a dryland cart for training sled dogs. Fascinated, Melville contacted Alan Stewart, a Scottish sled dog trainer who was having the cart made. Following in the footsteps of the famous Jamaica national bobsled team, Melville decided to form Jamaica's first dogsled team.
In July 2005, Melville sent Chukka Cove manager Devon Anderson—known as a "horse whisperer" for his gentle way with animals—to Scotland to train in dryland racing under Stewart, owner of Cairngorm Adventure Centre.〔() McGrouther, Bridget, "Cool Runnings," ''Scottish Field'', August 2005.〕
In August, Stewart came to Jamaica, where he helped Melville and Anderson develop a dog team, starting with nine dogs rescued from a welfare home.〔() Booth, Samantha, "How Jamaica Dog Go Faster?", ''Daily Record'', 17 October 2005.〕 Rick Johnson of Mahtowa, Minnesota, also spent two weeks in Jamaica.〔() Kuchera, Steve, "That's no snow dog," ''Duluth NewsTribune'', Monday, 31 October 2005.〕 When Stewart left in September, a kennel had been built, complete with dog houses and a chain-link enclosure, and the dogs were running in harness. The following November, Danny and Carole Melville attended the North Star Sled Dog Club's Fall 2005 Fun for All Seminar in Minnesota.
