It’s Iditarod ‘Sign Up’ and Volunteer ‘Thank You’ picnic this weekend at the Iditarod Headquarters in Wasilla, Alaska. In order to celebrate the race – as well as the dogs, mushers and individuals who volunteer for this amazing 1,000 mile wilderness adventure race – we did a Dog Fan Club Draw.

Thanks to everyone who continues to support our Dog Fan Club – we really appreciate it! Whether a dog has raced, will race or might never race the Iditarod… they are all SPECIAL!

Congratulations to Emily Owens who is a fan of Violet. Emily wins an “Aliy Zirkle” Limited Edition Iditarod 2019 Musher Ball Cap –  plus a glam shot of Violet and some other kennel goodies will be on their way to you soon.

Violet is a sweet, affectionate rockstar! She loves to be with you and will climb up into your arms given half a chance. Violet is a cheerleader when it comes to racing the Iditarod. She is always quick to go and scurries down the trail with ease. This fun Iditarod Insider video clip from the 2019 race shows Violet directly in front of Aliy’s sled.
