Former Air Force pilot turned musher Konrad Jakob joins us from the IFSS Dryland Championships in Wisconsin to talk about the rapid growth of dog mushing in Chile, Argentina, Colombia, and across Latin America. Konrad shares how he launched sled dog tours in the Andes, helped expand IFSS participation, and what to expect from the 2026 Pan-American Championship in Mexico.
