Overview

Take a glimpse into the traditional life of a sleddog in Interior Alaska. The lineage of these dogs traces back to when the first Native Alaskans/Inuit people inhabited the Arctic. We also have dogs from the Canadian/Greenland Arctic regions and promote the subsistence lifestyle of those Arctic cultures.

These dogs will show you what they have been born and bred to do as pack animals, while we have been stewards of their care for the past centuries, maintaining this heritage. Witness the outright enthusiasm these dogs have for doing what they love!
