SPK Dog Log

WOW! Thank you all so much for joining our Dog Fan Club. We have hit the 200 mark so, as promised, we have done a bonus draw! Congratulations to Peggy Long who is a fan of SCOUT!

Scout rules SP Kennel. He saunters around the yard claiming every spot as ‘his’. But when a dog is as accomplished as Scout, can you blame him? He is in full training again this season and he looks GREAT!

Peggy wins an SP Kennel T-shirt and some other goodies plus a photo print portrait of Scout. We hope you enjoy your packet Peggy!

Our next scheduled Dog Fan Club draw will be on January 13th and will be Copper Basin 300 themed! Everyone who has joined by then and hasn’t already won will be in the draw to win!

Blizzard conditions shut down the kennel for a day of shoveling, plowing and trail breaking. But, after that we were up and after it. It is GREAT to have snow ~ seems like a new world for a new year!

Here is a video from yesterday’s trading run:

Happy New Year! We hope 2017 is the best one yet! We wish you good health and happiness… and why not world peace while we’re at it.

Congratulations to Katy Hund from Maine who is a fan of Amber!

Amber is super excited and ready to launch (literally) into this season. Her enthusiasm is priceless. She is small but that won’t hold her up. She is stepping up into a lead dog position this season.

Katy Hund wins a signed Iditarod 2016 poster plus an SP Kennel patch. Of course she will get a photo print portrait of Amber also. We hope you enjoy your packet Katy!

Our next scheduled Dog Fan Club draw will be on January 13th and will be Copper Basin 300 themed! Everyone who has joined by then and hasn’t already won will be in the draw to win! Before that we will do a bonus draw – we are fast closing in on 200 dog fan club members and once we hit that magic number we’ll draw again so keep an eye out for that!

Okay… heads up this is a LONG video. Elf Aliy and Elf Wendy passed out some of the treats that were sent to SP Kennel from all you lovey folks. THANKS!!

For those of you who have been crossing your fingers, toes and paws for snow… it WORKED! The white fluffy stuff is falling.
Weather service is calling for an impressive Winter Storm in Interior Alaska for the next few days ~ “Heavy Snow” predicted.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us here at SP Kennel!

Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays to everyone celebrating at this time of year.

The best gift we at SP Kennel could hope for is something we already have: the support from our fans! Thank you so very much for all the support you give us: be-it monetary, vocally, a comment on our blog or simply a “like” on social media. We appreciate you all.

We’ve made a bonus Fan Club draw today and congratulations to Nancy and Gaige boy from New Hampshire who are a fans of SPARK!

Spark is a talented goofball. Probably the most happy dog at SP Kennel, he runs with his tail half way in the air (in case he needs to wag it excitedly!) He flirts with everyone, all the time. He is running in lead position often, we will count on him this season.

Nancy and Gaige boy will receive a holiday themed “glam” shot of the Olympic puppies, some SP Kennel goodies and a glossy glam of Spark. We hope you enjoy your packet!

Our next scheduled Dog Fan Club draw will be on December 30th and everyone who has joined by then and hasn’t already won will be in the draw to win!

I was driving home yesterday and thought how G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S it was in front of me. Since many of you have never driven the last mile to SP Kennel, I invite you to come with me now! I used a Dire Straits song, “On Every Street”, because I think of the last mile to home very fondly and I hope you think of the last mile to your home the same way.
