One thing about sled dogs is that they are easily distracted. Which can be a real problem out on the trail. It can be dangerous for both musher and dogs if we all aren't focused all the time but it's a bit difficult when you consider all the things out there that can grab their …
We're heading into that time of year when the snow melts and winter turns to spring. In fact, we're just a few days away from the first day of spring here. Of course we still have a few weeks left that we can go further up the mountain and probably find a snow packed trail …

We've been keeping up with the Iditarod sled dog race this past week and today is day 8 which means they are in the final stretch. One of our favorite mushers, Dallas Seavey, is back for the first time in a few years and he is currently in first place. He's uploading videos every day …
Here's a good visual of what the energy is like before we gear up to go mushing... ...and what it's like after we're all done!
We're uploading videos like the one below over on our brand new YouTube channel which you can check out here. Make sure you subscribe while you're there and please share links to this website and our videos to spread the husky love. 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ModZXYWXbY

Each of our dogs is special to us and have a unique story, and Coco is no different. That's him on the right there, next to Juno. They are our wheel dogs and what a happy boy he is both on and off the line. We happened to be driving past the local animal shelter …
It's almost time for the American Dog Derby in Ashton, Idaho!! If you haven't heard of it, you're not alone. We lived here for an entire decade and never knew about it, either. Unless you happen to drive through town and see the billboard they put up a few weeks before the race, it's easy …
Imagine our surprise when we learned that our favorite area to run the dogs runs right next to the (cue creepy music) Yellowstone Zone of Death! Whoa. The Zone of Death is the name given to the 50 sq mi (129.50 km2) Idaho section of Yellowstone National Park in which, as a result of a …
When you live next to Yellowstone and you own huskies and your kids own huskies and your friends and even your neighbors own huskies, naturally you do what huskies like to do.. We bought a little bluetooth speaker to take with us when we're out mushing and we've been having fun putting together a playlist …
