I have a few questions for you. I was wondering what your favorite dog in the race was. How do you feel about Lance Mackey being the winner? Do you like being a K-9 reporter? Do you think that you will be on a team sometime? Do you think that you'll be a lead dog? How long have you beeen a K-9 reporter? Can you tell me if there is a limit for how many times a dog\team can scratch during a race? Thanks, Ellen <strong>Hi Ellen, I'm friends with so many of the dogs, I can't pick a favorite. Lance did a great job this year. I love being a K9 reporter. I run on a recreational team. I hope to be a lead dog someday when I'm a little older. I have been a K9 reporter for 2 years now. You can only scratch once during a race. thanks for writing. Gypsy Hi Gypsy!

When a musher scratches, he/she makes the decision themselves. When a musher is withdrawn the decision is made by race officials. Rule 36 of the 2009 race rules says " A team may be withdrawn that is out of the competition and is no longer making a valid effort to compete. A musher whose conduct constitutes an unreasonable risk of harm to him/her dogs or other persons may be withdrawn. In the case of Rob Loveman, it was because of how far behind he was so he was withdrawn due to being out of the competition. Thanks for the great question Gypsy what is the differants between a wihtdraw and a scratch?
