2015 Yukon Quest starts today!

It is finally here!
The first of the two "big" races in the great white north starts today in Whitehorse YT, the 2015 Yukon Quest.

We're wishing our friends Brent Sass of Wild & Free Mushing, and Mike Ellis of Team Tsuga Siberians and their teams a great race and good luck.

Our boys Buddy and Silver are ready to cheer on "their" teams!

2012 champ, and participant in our recent "Wild Eyed Tsuga" weekend, Hugh Neff is also at the start, along with many more former Quest and Iditarod champions.

Back-to-back champ, and 2012 runner-up, Allen Moore is first out of the chute today, followed by Brent. This should be an amazing race right from the start.

4-time Quest & 4-time Iditarod champion Lance Mackey is back running the Quest, as is '89 champion and 4-time Iditarod winner Jeff King.

For a complete list of competitors, see "Meet the 2015 Mushers"


Coming up a week from today, is the 30th annual Race to the Sky in Montana.

Happy Holidays & New Year 2015!

It's been way too long since we posted here, but the shop kept us busy, which is always a good thing.

In October, we welcomed our friends Brent Sass, Mike Ellis and Hugh Neff to Central Oregon for our "Wild Eyed Tsuga" weekend. 15 teams with almost 200 sled dogs showed up for a camp out and a few days of running, training and talking dogs. Based on the feedback we received, everyone had a great time and is already wondering what next fall will bring. We will have to wait and see.

Here are some of the pictures and a great write-up by Carol Pepsick.

A few additions to our cart program are going to be made public in the beginning of 2015. No entirely new designs, but a couple nice options to round out our current models. Be sure to keep an eye on this blog and our facebook page for pictures and details.

We're also in the final planning stages for a new adventure in early 2015, and another event here in Central Oregon in spring, and will post details here as well, as soon as everything's ready to go.

Thank you all for your support throughout the year and we hope to see many of you out on the trails in the new year!

Arctis is, once again, a proud supporter of North Wapiti Kennels, Wild & Free Mushing and Team Tsuga Siberians through 2015.

La Pine Mushing Weekend 2014

It's official! Our friend Karen Yeargain has just posted the official dates of this year's La Pine Mushing weekend. We've attended this event since 2008 and ended up moving to La Pine from southern CA after falling in love with Central Oregon's beautiful scenery. A perfect place to be out and about with your dogs. 

For this year's details, please click here.

This is a fun event for everyone interested in running dogs, from a "newbie" with one dog to a seasoned veteran with a full team of 16 dogs.

 We'll see you at La Pine State Park in November!

Siberian Husky Rescue in Washington needs help

We've known Sue Scofield for many years and have seen firsthand the good work she does with her "Stargazer Siberian Sanctuary" in Washington State. Please take a moment and read her story and, if you can, donate to save her sanctuary, so she can continue helping those Siberians in need.

Wild Eyed Tsuga Weekend!

After our successful "Wild & Free Weekend" last October, we thought we'd add a couple more mushers to the mix, so this year we'll have Brent Sass of Wild & Free Mushing, Mike Ellis of Team Tsuga Siberians and Hugh Neff of Laughing Eyes Kennel visiting Central Oregon for a weekend.

Come join us the weekend of 10/31 - 11/02 2014 in La Pine, OR. for a few days of running dogs, camping, good food and good company. We're located in Oregon's vast pine forest and our property borders public land with literally 100s of miles of forest trails.

Brent, Mike and Hugh will be available for questions and advice about anything sled dogs as well just a relaxed chat by the campfire. In short: good times! Click here for pictures of last year's event and a nice write-up by Carol Pepsick here (scroll past the white Siberian).

A couple of changes for this year:

- Food for everyone will be taken care of by Cow Camp Cookin' & BBQ of La Pine, OR.
Catering is sponsored by Pawsatch Mushing, UT

- Depending on truck/trailer size, there will be room for about 15 teams this year.

- Trail maps and signs will be available.

As mentioned, we have room for ~ 15 trucks along with camping gear. There are restroom/shower facilities on the property along with a heated space which can be used as a common area, hang-out or sleeping area. There is also a small kitchen with stove, microwave and oven plus two refrigerators. There are several water sources on the property, cell phone/wifi connectivity and a hot tub. In case of wet weather, we can use our workshop to keep out of the rain dry equipment. Last year's weather was upper 10s and low 20s overnight, mid 60s during the day and dry throughout the weekend.

This will be a rain or shine event.
