Read back through some notes of mine and can clarify the sport of sled dogs. The USA is fully affiliated to and part of the IFSS - that is the International Federation of Sled Dog Sports - which holds world champs every two years. Where sled dogs have it over agility is that there is only a single world organisation for the sled dogs whereas agility is conflicted with two. The USA has hosted world sled dog champs under the umbrella of the IFSS and the sport has been staged at two Olympics (wayback). NZ has a current world ranked competitor. In turn, the IFSS is probably affiliated to/associated with either the FCI or the IFCS.

The commonly used english language version of the FCI is what I called it (World Canine Federation).
