  • Always a visit to this Husky Homestead is like another world in dog sense. Hurray to Jeff King as well as Amanda Otto for bringing real mushing life to the general public. Their open hospitality...

  • Interesting to see how they breed and train dogs for sledding in the winter. Also an informative session on the training, timing, supplies, and grit that are needed to drive a shed and to compete finally in the Iditarod. But it was also a little touristy as well. Cool to see those dogs run and how much equipment is needed to participate in one of these races.
  • Jeff and his staff are a great bunch! When you arrive, we got to visit with some of the husky puppies. Jeff is a multiple Iditarod winner!! His staff goes through a demo of the dogs pulling a sled on wheels along with lots of interesting facts of what it takes to participate in the Iditarod which is so interesting! This should definitely be on your list of places to visit!!
