Jamaica Dogsled Team

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.

Fascinated, Melville contacted Alan Stewart, a Scottish sled dog trainer who was having the cart made.

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.

The following November, Danny and Carole Melville attended the North Star Sled Dog Club's Fall 2005 Fun for All Seminar in Minnesota.

On 21–22 January 2006, Anderson returned to Scotland, where he competed in the Aviemore Sled Dog Rally, a four-dog dryland race.

Robb, who trained with Ken Davis, a competitive musher from Twig, Minnesota, focused on sprint racing.

He finished 21st among 47 starters at the Sheep Mountain 150 and 13th in the Cooper Basin 300,[8] a race that turned frigid, with temperatures reaching 50 below (Fahrenheit).
