Oh what fun it is to ride...

We just returned from our first sledding trip of the season to Mammoth, CA. Several members of our local mushing group went up with about 35 dogs for three days of fun in the snow.
Building various teams for various distances on different trails made for interesting runs throughout the weekend.

Highlight was by far the 7½ mile run with a 10-dog team on breathtaking trails, driven by yours truly, with the help of my passenger/handler Dylan and generous support of other members who trusted me with their dogs for the run.

Now, it's back to work. Carts need to be finished and delivered, plus we're closing in on our order deadline before we head to the races in Idaho in February.

The North Wapiti experience

We just returned from a spectacular trip that took us from southern California all the way up to northern Alberta, Canada, to visit Karen Ramstead and her North Wapiti kennel of Siberian Huskies, aka the "Pretty Sled Dogs".
We spent several days with Karen's team, be it at the kennel or out on the trails and were also able to run the cart with her dogs, have Karen run it, and even put our little clown Silver on a team with 5 North Wapiti dogs. He initially seemed a bit intimidated, but after the run pranced around his girls like a hot shot, showing off.






The cart ride with 6 Siberians through the wooded, rutted and rooted trails was a pure blast, not only for us, but even Karen had a great time as she posted on facebook:




The red cart shown here is available and ready to go without waiting period:




If you're interested, please contact us with your location, and we'll provide a shipping quote.
Local pick-up and delivery as also available, of course, and if you are located in Oregon or Washington, please contact us for details about our upcoming road trips, so we can possibly deliver the cart in person.

On our way back, we took the scenic route through Jasper, Banff, Kootenay, Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. What beautiful places to see and experience. We can't wait to get back on the road again, soon, but in the meantime, we need to get some carts done.

So you want a Siberian Husky? Please rescue!

If you're looking for your first Siberian or want to add to your pack, please consider rescuing your new furry friend! Now more than ever, many Siberians (and many other breeds as well) end up at at shelters and rescues, waiting to find a new home.
Before you're going out to get your new furry friend, take a minute to read up on Husky traits here.
Check out our friends at Husky Camp and Half Moon Husky for currently available dogs.
All of our dogs have been rescues, too.

Siberian Husky looking for new home

Great news! "Czar" found a new home and now lives with two other Huskies, gets to go on walks and to the dog park daily plus he'll get to join the SoCal "urban mushers" on their dryland and snow runs, whoohoo!
Thanks to Gina at Animal Crackers for placing him in a perfect home!
