Our Dogs Are Family

Our love of dogs goes back to when we were kids ourselves but our journey to Alaska and how huskies became a central point in our life really started the day we snuck our first dog into the condo we were renting when we were in college. That dog very nearly got us kicked out on the street when the landlord found out about it but the second dog, we snuck in a few months later did get us kicked out. And so, we started our dogsled journey to Alaska with our two Alaskan huskies and very little idea of what we were doing except a commitment to provide the best home for our dogs that we could.

Now, more than twenty years later we have 67 dogs ranging from a few months to 15 years old. We have bred huskies in Alaska, bought a few, and rescued a lot more over the years. We still honor our commitment made to those first two dogs with all of these guys to provide the best home we can for them for the entirety of their lives. Indeed, each dog has a story and deep experiences with us ranging from running Iditarod to simply sitting together on the deck of the house.
It’s been an amazing life with these dogs, and we welcome you to come and share, experience and love these dogs yourself. And to especially come see why we say that dogs are family with us.
