What a study of the 2023 Lekkarod compared can now be recorded in MushMate, on the website and on the phone.
Source: Roger, Grandjean and Benito, Animals, 2026 — 599 sled dogs.
What it does
- Dog's page, folded section “Reproduction and position”: Intact · Neutered · Unknown, month of sterilization.
- Usual position: Lead, Swing, Team, Wheel, or Not set.
- Return check: triceps, psoas, fatigue, cardiac, wound, harness rub, in three families.
- “All clear for the whole team” is still one tap.
- Dogs: two more filters. Timeline: the findings under “Health”.
What others see
- Nothing: not the Club, not the leaderboards, not a share card.
What it doesn't do
- No advice, no alert, no statistic about sterilization. This is not “not yet”: it is a choice.
- “Unknown” changes nothing: heat cycles and ration stay those of an intact female.
- The team builder does not use the position.
- A finding never sets a flag or an injury.
The choice
- Your dogs open as “Unknown”, except those already marked neutered or spayed: we do not guess.
- Back, shoulders, stools and pads already existed: no duplicates.
