Grand Marais, MN
I operate a fishing/hunting resort in northwestern Ontario with my folks in the summer so move the dogs and ourselves back and forth every six months. We keep a small kennel, between 15-20 with adults and puppies. Enjoy fishing, camping, swimming, reading, taking long walks with my Irish Setter, walking puppies and running dogs!!! Fall/winter are my favorite times of the year and my dogs and I LOVE to race!!! Running dogs can sometimes be like organized chaos and I love it! So exhilarating!

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START RUNNING SLED DOGS AND HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU STARTED?
I love dogs, excitement, adventure and the outdoors so it was a perfect fit! I was 14 when I got my first sled dogs, a Samoyed and a Siberian Husky.
