Winter dog mushing season may be over, but we still have many things to look forward to right here!
Dog Fan Club
First up – we have decided to keep the Dog Fan Club open all summer! Our dogs are as special during the summer as they were during the winter. We realize that you want to be part of their lives… regardless of the season. So, we will continue to make random dog/ fan draws every 3 weeks through the summer. This will also give us the opportunity to share with you fans what the dogs do during their summer ‘down time’! The next Fan Club draw is May 13th. Check these fun dog cameos out:

Aliy Cam
Aliy has been sharing video from the Iditarod for many years and this year is no different. She took several clips at various intervals on the race and we will post them here for you to enjoy as the summer temperatures begin to soar!
Or if you have more curiosity from years past, then look back through the website and watch some of her Aliy Cams from prior years. Comparing trails, weather and the dog team is always fun.
Store
Due to popular demand we are opening a SP Kennel gear store. We are starting small and will have available an SP Kennel ball cap and the iconic red “Aliy” fleece beanie. Keep an eye out for the the “Store” button along the top of the SP Kennel website home page so you can purchase your head gear all year round.
Exciting Canine Adventure
Coming next week is an exciting opportunity for you to be part of a BIG adventure for one SPK dog. As you know, we like to follow our canine buddies throughout their lives and this little girl is about to embark on a grandiose move! Look for that info button along the top of the SP Kennel website home page as well.
Summer Activities
We’ll keep you up to date with any interesting summer activities involving the dogs. Summer time involves running around the trails that are frozen up during the winter, and lazing around in the sun but if anything other than that occurs, we will let you know!
Well you all sure have been busy cooking up stuff for us to stay busy with this summer! Yahoo. Oh and YES on the store. I know you said starting small but I’m picturing a sweatshirt with your logo on it and a tagline on the back like “Follow me to watch the best kennel in Alaska.”
Or wait, true fans will get this one. Logo with the words “refresh, refresh, refresh”
Ha, I’m only getting started here
Yes!!!!! A red hoodie zip front jacket with SP logo!!!! I’m in!!!
Love the refresh, refresh, refresh. Great idea.
Sounds like a lot of fun things on the web site this summer! Great Idea! Will keep looking!
Fabulous SP Dogs!
So happy to hear all of this!
Love,
The Straw Ladies
How about a nice cap and also a beanie with your logo on it. How is Dr Bill doing? (sponsored by me); lol; great looking pup.
Awesome idea about an SP Kennel gear store….now I will have a quick answer to the question “where can I buy one of those” when I’m sporting my SPK wear on my travels! I also love the idea of keeping the Dog Fan Club open through the summer….it’s a fun way to cheer on the dogs during the off season!
Sounds like fun!
WOOF!!!
Thanks in advance for all the effort you’ll be putingt into the website!!!
Oh I am excited. Saving money to be a dog fan and to buy cool SPK stuff as we speak……thank you for doing so much to include us fans who love and follow SPK. Hope you can benefit some for all the work the SPK 2 leggeds do to share all of your lives with us on the outside. Raining and 37 degrees here at 47th+ parallel in NE MN. Better than the half foot of snow we got earlier in the week. The hummingbirds are coming and I actually want mud season to get here and stay. Summer is short. The huskies are warm and dry on their dog beds and on my bed. There is a ‘wet dog’ aroma in the house but the wood stove warmth will help that dissipate. I want to be a fan for all of the SPK dogs. This is hard. 🙂
NICE!
All positive changes.
