Apparently she's available for personal appearances.  The first link below is to that site. There's also a phone number on that site.\n\nThe second link has gorgeous photos and leaves me with the impression that she's still training dogs.\n\nThe third link is to a site that was updated a year ago.

A russian dog called Laika.\n\nThe dog Laika, the first living creature to orbit the Earth, did not live nearly as long as Soviet officials led the world to believe. \nThe animal, launched on a one-way trip on board Sputnik 2 in November 1957, was said to have died painlessly in orbit about a week after blast-off. \n\nNow, it has been revealed she died from overheating and panic just a few hours after the mission started. \n\nThe new evidence was presented at the recent World Space Congress in Houston, Texas, US, by Dimitri Malashenkov of the Institute for Biological Problems in Moscow. \n\nNoted space historian Sven Grahn told BBC News Online that the new information was surprising and significant as it ended more than 40 years of speculation about Laika's fate. \n\nSpace pioneer \n\nLaika's mission on board Sputnik 2 stunned the world. Sputnik 1, the world's first satellite, had been launched less than one month before. \n\n \nLaika had been a stray\n \nIt was a metal sphere weighing about 18 kg (40 lbs) and was far heavier than anything the United States was contemplating launching. \n\nAn astonished world witnessed the launch of Sputnik 2 weighing 113 kg (250 lbs) and carrying the first living thing to go into orbit - the dog Laika. \n\nThe animal had been a stray wandering the streets of Moscow when she was captured and prepared for a space mission. \n\nShortly after launch the Soviets said that Laika was not destined to return alive and would die in space. The statement caused outrage to many observers. \n\nRacing pulse \n\nDr Malashenkov has now revealed several new details about Laika's mission, such as her food being in jelly form and that she was chained to prevent her turning around. \n\nThere was a carbon dioxide absorbing device in the cabin to prevent the accumulation of this toxic gas, as well as an oxygen generator. \n\nA fan was automatically activated to keep the dog cool when the capsule's temperature exceeded 15 deg Celsius. \n\nAccording to Dr Malashenkov, a great deal of work had to be done to adapt a group of dogs to the conditions in the tight cabin of Sputnik 2. They were kept in gradually smaller cages for periods up to 15-20 days. \n\nThree dogs were trained for the Sputnik 2 flight: Albina, Laika and Mushka. Albina was the first "backup", having flown twice on a high-altitude rocket. Mushka was used to test instrumentation and life support. \n\nDeath in space \n\nMedical sensors placed on Laika indicated that during launch her pulse rate went up by a factor of three above its resting level. \n\nAt the start of weightlessness, her pulse rate decreased. It took three times longer than after a centrifuge ride on the ground to return Laika's heartbeat to pre-launch values, an indication of the stress she was suffering. \n\nDr Malashenkov also revealed how Laika died. Telemetry from the Sputnik 2 capsule showed that the temperature and humidity increased after the start of the mission. \n\nAfter five to seven hours into the flight, no lifesigns were being received from Laika. By the fourth orbit it was apparent that Laika had died from overheating and stress. \n\nPreviously, it has been thought that Laika survived at least four days in space and perhaps even a week when Sputnik's transmitters failed. \n\nDespite surviving for just a few hours, Laika's place in space history is assured and the information she provided proved that a living organism could tolerate a long time in weightlessness and paved the way for humans in space. \n\nLaika's "coffin" circled the Earth 2,570 times and burned up in the Earth's atmosphere on 4 April 1958.

She was either on the West Coast or in Hawaii or Alaska.  Asia isn't up yet (written at 1:11 PM, EDT).

Sled dogs, known also as sleigh dogs, sledge dogs or sleddogs are dogs that are used to pull a wheel-less vehicle on runners (a sled or sleigh) over snow or ice, by means of harnesses and lines. It is not certain when this unique form of transport was first thought of by humankind nor where it originated, but it may well have been in eastern Siberia, whose tribes have a long history of nomadic winter travel.

Sir or madam, I can do this kind of search, but oddly, every search came to a dead end. I am curious about this.  I will attempt to ask someone else who is better at searching than I am and return if fruitful.  Later . . .maybe Yellowstone,  Bev Pierson?

Are you asking about Shirley Muldowney? I believe she retired. We met her and her dog at Thunder Valley in Bristol about 10 years ago. See her web site www.muldowney.com  Also see the movie Heart Like Wheel if you can find it, it's an older, fictionalized version of how she broke into racing....hmmn just looked at her web site and it lists racing appearances for 2006 so I guess she's still at it! Go Girl!  Hey! just saw her being interviewed following a Doug Kalitta victory.....hmmmnn ... kismet?

From www.olympic.org:\n\nEddie Eagan (USA-bobsleigh and boxing) achieved a unique feat by winning gold medals in both summer and winter sports. In 1920, he won the light-heavyweight boxing championship. Twelve years later, he reappeared at the Winter Olympics and won the four-man bobsleigh event.

Apparently Alaskan huskies, the faster breed commonly used now, isn't as resisitance to cold as siberian huskies.\n\nFrom Wikipedia \n\n"In very cold conditions, Alaskans often race in “dog coats” or belly protectors. Particularly in long distance races, these dogs often require “dog booties” to protect their feet from abrasion and cracking. Thus the considerations of hardiness and climate resistance prevalent in breeds such as the Siberian Husky and Canadian Inuit Dog are subordinated in the Alaskan husky to the overriding consideration of functional capability. The Alaskan huskies lack the dense coat required to keep them warm, and they are not as hardy as Siberians, often requiring extra care on the trails. Andre Nadeau says this is the reason his Siberians did so well in the 1998 Yukon Quest, where he led nearly the whole race until being passed by a team of Alaskan huskies.\n\nSiberians are still used occasionally as sleddogs in dogsled racing but have been widely replaced by the more popular Alaskan Husky and hound-type crossbreds that are specially bred and selected for speed and have less heavy coats. Siberian Huskies were designed to pull a light load over long distances at a medium pace, and simply can't keep up with their faster counterparts. Siberians are still popular in races restricted to purebreds and are faster than other pure sleddog breeds such as the Samoyed and Alaskan Malamute. Today the breed tends to divide along lines of “racing” Siberians versus “show” Siberians."\n\nThis site has some differing opinions on frostbite including that they can in fact ger frostbite.\nhttp://www.straightdope.com/classics/a990312a.html\n\n"The doctor says he's seen lots of frostbitten canine parts, including the nipples, vulva, and prepuce (no wonder the Iditarod has been condemned by animal-rights groups), but he's never seen any frostbitten feet. He thinks this may result from some peculiarity of the canine circulatory system. When people are exposed to extreme cold, vasoconstriction in the extremities reduces the flow of blood there, helping reduce heat loss and maintain the body's core temperature. Maybe this doesn't happen with dogs. Or maybe they just have more blood vessels down there. Whatever the case, it's not something peculiar to sled dogs. The doc says he's never seen frostbitten dog feet in private practice, either. He sees this as a survival mechanism: if a dog can't move, it dies.\n\nOther vets doubt that dogs enjoy any special protection, though they do concede that frostbitten paws are rare. A 1975 veterinary account of the Iditarod, written before Dr. Nelson's time, mentions a few cases, but these occurred because booties intended to protect dogs with paw blisters were tied too tight. Researchers have induced frostbitten paws in the lab to learn more about human frostbite, suggesting they don't see much difference between us and the pups circulationwise. One vet believes dogs are protected by the thick epithelial pads on the bottoms of their feet, their somewhat higher body temperature (100 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit), their thick fur (remember that the frostbitten areas noted by Nelson were hairless), and their practice of curling their paws next to their bodies when sleeping."
