Home of the 1,000 Mile Yukon Quest Dog Race - 36 hr Layover
So, you say you already visited a sled dog kennel in the north. My guests who have visited other kennels saw eight reasons why we are different than all of the rest.
1 - The Bouchard collection, the largest dog mushing and sled museum in the world. See first Nations, prospectors and seven other mushing groups along with many old sleds, harness, equipment, carvings and models.
2 - Meet 33 happy huskies, three types, world famous Lance Mackey, Hans Gatt, thousand miles distance racing dogs + freight haulers and trapline dogs.
3 - Watch an exciting and fast ten-dog training on our short track.
4 – A huge display of state of the art dry land and winter dog driving equipment for training, racing and fun.
5 - A 35 minutes lecture not about me and racing stories, it’s about understanding the lifestyle, the breeding, care and feeding, training and racing and -50F camping. Most people do not understand how this sport works. We will explain it all in detail.
6 – A 20 minute movie on the toughest 1000 miles sled dog race in the world: The Yukon Quest.
7 – Eat gold at the gold bar (yes, EAT gold). You also have the opportunity to purchase unique gold nugget from a historic local mine at prices that can’t be beat anywhere in the Yukon.
8 – A well marked, easy, ten minute photo opp rustic drive to our kennels with a two mile view of the Yukon River.
