The combination results in a breed which unites the traits of two highly successful parent breeds.egistered Brangus must be 3/8 Brahman and 5/8 Angus, solid black or red and polled. Both sire and dam must be recorded with the International Brangus Breeders Association. Foundation Angus and Brahman cattle must be registered in their respective breed association prior to being enrolled with the IBBA.

Distance, Conditions and Speed. A sled dog's speed depends on a variety of factors, including weather, the planned travel distance and the condition of the trail. For shorter distances, sled dogs may average 10 to 14 miles per hour during the course of a day of mushing. If conditions are poor, such as extreme cold or fresh snow, the dogs' speed can drop to 6 or 7 miles per hour. In a sprint race that takes a day or two, sled dogs may reach up to 15 miles per hour. The size of the sledding team makes a difference; however, the team will travel only as fast as its slowest member. As well, the amount of weight the team is pulling will affect its overall speed.
