After nearly 40 years of running and racing sled dog teams--and two years of therapy to get me to this place--I am finally ready to admit that I am done racing, and probably seriously running, dogs.
This is obviously not a decision I've come to lightly. It's taken a lot of struggling with myself to get here, because this is all I've known since I was 10 years old. Part of the struggle has been the fact that I have young dogs here, specifically bred for running, who still have their lives ahead of them and will not get to reach their full potential here with me.
With that in mind, I am considering placing these dogs in an absolutely perfect working home, where they will be pets--or part of a small, well-loved pack--first and foremost. These dogs would make excellent joring companions or do well on a recreational/occasional racing team.

31-Sept 1: Molly was a star at the Working Group shows over Labor Day weekend! On Saturday she was RWB to the major and went on to a Best Puppy in Group win under judge Lew Olsen. On Sunday, she was WB/BOW for 2 more points and went Best BBE in Group under Marcie Dobkin. Good girl, Molly!

25-27: We had a great weekend in Palmer at 2024's third independent specialty for the Siberian Husky Club of Anchorage, AK and the Cook Inlet KC shows! On Thursday, little Molly was breeder-judge Angela Porpora's choice for WB and Best Bred-by Exhibitor. This gave our girl her first major at just 8 months old! Nate, wild and naked as a jaybird, managed to behave long enough to get RWD to the major and Best Puppy!
Molly also went on to take RWB to the major the following day at the all-breed show. We look forward to a bright future with these two puppies.

13-14: Molly's first weekend in the show ring was a success! She showed like a little pro and picked up her first two points in the pouring rain at the Kenai KC shows!

18/19: After a low-key winter of raising puppies and dealing with some challenges, we made it to our first shows since September 2023. Rhythm came out of retirement to show off her new post-whelping coat in the Sled Bitch class and was awarded Select Bitch and Best Sled Dog on Saturday under judge Mike Benson. On Sunday, she was judge Wendy Sorrell's choice for BOS and Best Sled Dog!
Our new kid Nate also made his debut in the 6-9 month puppy class, going BOS in Sweeps under breeder-judge Brenda Valletta and RWD under Mike Benson. He has some growing up to do, but we are thrilled with the recognition he received at his first shows!
