We want to make a difference and we will strive 365 days of the year saving dogs. Our kennel mission is to save and re-train sled dogs for both better homes and or a possible future in the sport of sled dog racing. The Alaskan Husky racing dog is a mix breed of dog weighing anywhere between 40 and 70lbs. Their prime racing years range in age anywhere from 2-7 years. There's always that exception to the rule!

These dogs are TRUE canine athletes and we understand that each dog deserves a chance and has a place within this world; if it's on a ranch with animals and family or with a kennel racing lifestyle or with you at home on the sofa watching TV and eating popcorn. We're all about getting the WORD out and helping dogs reach their full potential.

We understand that we can't "save them all" however, we do our best by doing what we can do each day and working with small numbers. This seems to be effective and it works for the dogs. Each dog is unique with her/his own personality and natural ability offering different mental and physical dynamics to the team and or family situation. When the dog is "too old" to keep racing, these fine dogs make excellent puppy trainers and some retire right here with us. Some go on to train smaller teams at other kennels-some become house pets-again, we strive to find good places for all the dogs.

This year we are focused on our jammed packed racing season through March and speaking endeavors in April. We are happy to say we've placed 3 dogs this past week (Brooke, Stone and Puck) and will continue to place dogs througout the season to make room for more unwanted dogs from the Fairbanks Animal shelter.
