Mike and Caitlin are both originally from Massachusetts. Mike has been involved with dogs his whole life, his grandfather and godfather raised beagles and he always loved being around the dogs. As a kid, the only thing his parents could get him to read were accounts of polar explorers getting stranded on the ice watching their ships get crushed by the ice and making a heroic dash for land with their sled dogs.
He always thought those days were long gone, then Will Steger reenacted Robert Perry’s historic trek to the North Pole and National Geographic chronicled it on their weekly program Explorer. That was it, Mike decided he would become a polar explorer. Quickly he had his first sled dogs and in time he heard about the Iditarod. Since then he has been striving to put himself in a position to make his dreams of running the Iditarod a reality.
Caitlin, has been claiming that she “deserved a dog” since she was 10 years old. When her parents denied her this right, they probably had no idea it would intensify her desire, eventually leading her to own more 40 dogs. After high school, Caitlin got her first dog and soon after went to Montana and Alaska to help others train their sled dogs. Eventually, Caitlin returned to Massachusetts to finish college and there she began working with Mike. A trained mathematician, she particularly enjoys counting puppies.
Together they have already achieved much in the past couple of years and believe they are well on their way to achieving their goals.
Caitlin and Mike Santos breed and train future Iditarod Champions at The Wolf’s Den Kennel. Their kennel consists of the best young racing sled dogs in the world. Meet their dogs and puppies and view pictures of dog teams in the Alaskan winter.
