Reports

Master Team List
During the winter, we print out this report everyday. We can integrate the list with the reservation data to show the names, weights and home states of all the customers on that day. It allows the drivers to have a better idea of how much weight they will be pulling that day and gives them a heads up in thinking of ways to shift dogs around if there are heavy time slots. The report also shows the average age of the dogs on each team as well as the harness profile. The harness profile is the long number that tells the driver how many of each size harness they need to get in order to harness the dogs.
Exercise Groups
When we are not busy, we turn the dogs loose in the exercise yard. To ensure a good time for all, we have to engineer the groups such that everyone gets along. Exercise groups are fairly static, staying about the same from year to year. In general, each group is either boys or girls.
Harness Sizes
The dogs are all different sizes, and it is important that they wear the correct size harness for their body. We have nine basic harness lengths: XS through 5XL. Within each size there are some minor variations. Some dogs are more round, some are more sleek, some have huge heads etc. There are harness variations to fit the dog variations. The variations are not labeled, you just have to know the harness and know what dog it suits.
Food Consumption
This is the report we look at to figure out how much food to order each week. We frequently update this report by changing the number of calories that each dog to currently consuming. Calorie consumption changes throuhout the year depending on the temperature and activity level. We then convert the number of calories per dog into a number of bags per day and per week. We can also figure out how much money we are spending for each dog per year and then the total dollars spent per year on feeding.
Dog Ages/Litters
It's kind of nice to know the age of each dog and who they are related to. Follow this link to see all the ages of the dogs and what litter they came from.
Rides per Day
This report shows the maximum number of sled trips a dog can handle in one day. We use this report to see how many sleds per day we can handle. During the summer and fall, we look forward with this report to see if we need to acquire more dogs before the season starts.
