Answers:
Stone Fox (1987 TV movie)
From Wikipedia~a synopsis of the novel:
Willy and his dog Searchlight find Willy's grandfather lying in bed!. Doc Smith, the town doctor tells Willy that his grandfather no longer wants to live!. A tax collector sneaks into Willy's house and, with a rifle in his hand, demands to know how much his grandfather owes the state!. After seeing some papers he tells Willy that they owe the state of Wyoming 500 dollars!. The next day Willy enters a dog sled race that has a reward of 500 dollars!. Willy sees a sled being pulled by five Samoyeds (fast dogs used for sled racing)!. The man on the sled signs up for the race, and Willy learns it is Stone Fox, a Native American who doesn't talk to white people and has never lost a race!. When the race starts, Willy instantly takes the lead and as they race past Willy's house they see Grandfather standing up watching them!. At the end of the race Searchlight's heart bursts and she dies instantly about 10 feet from the finish line!. Stone Fox makes a line on the ground with his boot and warns that if any other racers cross the line, he'll shoot!. He then lets Willy win with Willy carrying Searchlight across the finish line to everyone's amazment!.
Cast includes Buddy Ebsen, Joey Cramer (better known for "Flight of the Navigator"), Belinda Montgomery, Gordon Tootoosis (as Stone Fox)

I think there were some changes for the TV movie, but this sounds like your film!. All of the summaries and reviews I found give very little information!. // I see that someone else has the same answer!. I didn't trust my memory, so I checked it before leaving the name, meaning I waited too long!. At least, this should verify it being your movie!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

It sounds like "Stone Fox" which was a made-for-TV movie based on a childrens' short story!.

It sounds very similar to Iron Will, but there are some notable differences!. The dog is badly injured but he doesn't die; It was the father who died and not Grandpa!. Www@Enter-QA@Com
