Waylon, Willlie, Merle and Reba are the newest additions to our kennel. Cloud is a wonderful mom and having puppies under the kitchen table is always fun. June and the first of July were hot and dry with fires all over Alaska. We had another close scare and spent days putting out pumps and hoses, clearing more trees and fire lines…preparing before the rains finally came and came they did. We are very grateful to friends who helped supply us with extra equipment and offers of help ..read more

As usual, I have been remiss in keeping up to date with my blogs. Life gets busy and as we are experimenting with Instagram, it keeps me busy. Winter went well and meltdown has started. Break up will be soon and we hope it is an easy one but with all the snow, locals are holding their breaths. The pups are all turning out to be great team members with a lot of leader potential. Aragorn has settled in with us and is enjoying life in a new kennel. We are in our shut off period and enjoying some slower days as we await the break up of the Yukon River. Deb Cawthorn, Greg Ott and Jake Cragan wonde ..read more

Having puppies to train is always fun, hilarious and frustration. Hey-Bobb (Hale-Bobb, the astrology litter), is 3 months old but is a rising star. The 3 month age is the terrible twos and the pups start getting into trouble so it is then a push to get the training going. Hey-Bobb and his 3 litter mates took off at super-sonic speed out of the yard. It took an hour and a half with 3 of us covering our trail systems to find them. With wolves in the area this is worrisome so we train our dogs to stay in the yard when they are loose. Pups know no boundaries ..read more

It is important to give as many experiences to puppies as you can so that when they run into obstacals and other situations that if new could stress or frighten a dog. When they experience things as pups and in a fun way it is very rare for an adult to panic at something different. Having puppies as well rounded as you can with different experiences is a plus in all regards. These pups are having a blast and enjoying the playtime ..read more

Winter is truly here. Wayne, I and a group of dogs are out checking out the Yukon River just as it was freezing up. Here it is looking pretty good, but Alaska likes to throw curve balls and the river shifted twice after the ice ground to a halt. We are presently working to get trail crossings in. The downriver crossing is in and a good one. The crossing into Eagle will be in hopefully tomorrow. This year’s final freeze up of the ice has left sections too jumbled to travel so the land trails will be very important this year. Early snow let us get the local trails in. A warm chinook wind took o ..read more
