The end of November finds SP Kennel dogs and mushers busy indoors and out. This time of year the daylight (or lack there of) is a huge factor in Two Rivers. The sun rises today at 10:03 AM and sets at 3:13 PM. Therefore, we will have total possible daylight … Read More
This season, Allen has decided to tackle the Copper Basin 300 and Yukon Quest with complete focus. So, after six consecutive years, the Black Team, will not be racing the Iditarod. This decision leaves a spot open for a Red and Black Iditarod Team. Pretty exciting!! Check out the Dog … Read More

The Outlaw Litter – Bonnie, Clyde and Outlaw – turn seven weeks old this week. They are still living with their mom, ChaCha, throughout this mid-November cold snap. ChaCha hasn’t weaned them, so they are happy to snuggle together on the cool nights. Alaskan Huskys are truly an amazing breed.

Aliy was asked to speak on AK public radio this week during a segment about Alaskan villages. She had a short spot about the Two Rivers community and of course, talked about dogs! Here is the link: www.alaskapublic.org
Wow, it’s COLD! NOW we know what everyone is talking about when they say it’s cold in Alaska. We’ve experienced our first -20 degrees (F) weather, though the sun was shining brightly and it looked deceptively warm outside. Wes put on his cold weather gear and with Ryne, braved the … Read More
We took a video during one of the last training runs along the Chena River before “freeze up”. As you will here in the background, the ATV 4 wheeler is still purring along functioning as our “make believe” dog sled. The dogs don’t seem to care what they are pulling … Read More
