Just "Just"
This is "Just". He came to us over a year ago from Lynn Orbison over at Daisy Acres. He wasn't quite fast enough to do sprinting, so Lynn thought he'd like to try mid-distance with us. He definitely has speed! We put Just in lead and woo! Off he went! Just ran in the 07 Cantwell Classic 200 and the 07 Quest 300. He is VERY stubborn though. If he feels that we should Gee, then no amount of Haw will turn him unless the other leader jerks him over. I can't imagine what other mushers think when I'm calling "Just Gee!", "Just Gee!" Ha ha ha! They probably think I'm exasperated and begging my leaders to just gee already! ;o) He's also a CHOW hound and if he thinks food is around, it takes a LOT of convincing to get him going until he's had a "bite to eat." All joking aside, this dog has become a solid leader who runs through anything. And, he's gotten much better about taking the commands that we'd like him to, as well. :o) He's a character, that one. And a solid asset to the team.
As mushers, we know how hard it is to find reliable caretakers for your furry ones while you are out of town. Do you need someone to come to your kennel to feed and water your dogs? If so, let us know! We have owned, trained and cared for sled dogs for over 12 years now, so you can be assured that we have the experience needed. You can have peace of mind that your fur kids are in good hands while you are away.
We charge a fair rate that varies depending on kennel size and we do give discounts for longer term care. We are in the Two Rivers area, so would be willing to care for kennels along Chena Hot Springs Road or close by areas. Let us know if you need quality, reliable care for your dogs today! Call 488-4679.
I've been running dogs for over 12 years now. Most days, I'm kept real busy due to juggling the duties of a High School English Teacher, mother of 2 young boys and a mid-distance racer. Needless to say, life is full of craziness and challenges...but that is life. Along with my hectic schedule, I love to read, write, and if the spirit moves me, sketch. Winters, you'll find us out on the trails (yes, my boys run dogs, too) and summers, I'm out enjoying the horses, having fun with the kids & dogs and volunteering for the Yukon Quest (since I race all winter, summer is the time I can "give back" to the Quest). You're also very likely to catch me playing euchre online (it's a passion).
Thanks for visiting and for joining me on this crazy adventure called Life in the Great Frozen North.
