The International Federation of Sleddog Sports (IFSS) is a global governing/sanctioning body of sleddog sports.[1] It represents 49 national sleddog sport federations and organizations that are overseen by the board and six continental directors.[citation needed]

The three sleddog sport categories that IFSS covers: dryland, skidogs, and sleds, which are competed in separate world championships on snow and off snow (dryland). IFSS also organizes the IFSS/WSA Long Distance World Championships and is involved in many non-racing activities that promote the sport, its safety, animal welfare.

History

The was incorporated in the United States in 1992. In 2013 the headquarters relocated from the US to Brussels.[2]
