Introducing myself and the Stardancer Sled Dogs

Post by Swanny1790 »

My friends call me Swanny. I'm a recreational dog musher and historical reenactor living in Two Rivers, Alaska. My kennel partner is a Purdue certified canine behaviorist. The Stardancer Historical Sled Dogs kennel currently has a population of 19 Alaskan Huskies, most of them very similar to descriptions of Native American / First Nations dogs found in 18th and 19th century historical documents. We are members of the Hedlund Husky Preservation Project and have 3 full Hedlunds and 2 half-Hedlunds in our kennel. Several of our dogs were rescued from shelters, and 4 of the came from the only breeding we've done thus far. Our kennel website is at http://www.tworiversak.com/mushing.htm. Although the site is badly out of date, our methods and philosophies have not changed since it was last updated.

I am a member of the Mush with P.R.I.D.E. board of directors, and currently serve as the Guidelines Committee Chair. You can learn more about Mush with P.R.I.D.E. (http://www.mushwithpride.org/

Wow! I watched a programme on sled dog racing a while back, I was amazed by it. What a cool thing to do :D

However I have a long haired chihuahua so I think I'd need a lot of chihuahuas to keep up with your lot :shock: :lol:
