Informationen

Beschreibung
We have a working kennel of 26 beautiful loving , hard working Siberian Huskies situated on 10 acres in a small rural community an hour west of Whitehorse in the Yukon. Our log home is on grid with full amenities, and our guests/helpers and handlers share our home with us. With summer quickly coming to an end it is time to get training dogs for the winter mushing season. I will be participating in a number of races with the dogs and really hope to go to Alaska for a 300 mile race in January. I an looking for one person or a couple who are keen to come for the whole winter to help with the dog care, and training/ running of dogs. Ideally it would be amazing to get someone with experience in working with dogs but if you are enthusiastic and willing to learn then we have a place for you!

The Yukon is amazing and there is a lot to discover here!! For the lover of wilderness and outdoor activity there is endless opportunity, and the nearby city of Whitehorse has no end of cultural activity, irs a hub of music and art! We do go fairly regularly to the city.
We can not accommodate vegans but we do eat very healthy. We can not take any smokers, sorry

It was my first workaway and it was an amazing experience. After spending many days on the road from Vancouver Island to Whitehorse, Cindy and her husband Chris gave my friend and me a truly warm welcome. We had a room for our own with a big bed and a cupboard.
We had to feed the Huskies (Siberian and Alaskan), clean the kennels and paint some… read more

I arrived at cindys place in mid of january, i drove up the alaska highway from calgary to whitehorse, what a experience! Cindy was my first Workaway host and she definitely set the bar very high. At my first arrival i felt home after a few minutes. She had friends from australia over and another workawayer, so we were a lot of persons.

Cindy is… read more really and honestly interested in the other person and not only interested in the exchange work <-> food/accomondation. I had some really deep conversation with her and really appreciate her always honest opinion to everything. In general, cindy is a really honest person, if she thinks something, she says that. Thats a rare attribute these days.

Sometimes i really gave Cindy i had time, i did a lot of mistakes, but she was very patienced with me and always yelled at me in a friendly way (:D). No, if you do a mistake, she tells you what mistake you did and why its important to not do this mistake, but after a minute of anger she is smiling at you again, she is not unforgiving. She wanted to race the yukon quest, but got sick and had to cancel the race. Even in these hard days, she was very heartwarming to all of us.

The work with the dogs was very interesting, i had no experience with dogs, my first question was if some of them would bite me (see: amateur). But after a few days i really felt very comfortable with the dogs, after 3 weeks i knew all of the times, but sometimes i mixed up the names of siblings who look the same. I got the change to take a few rides in her sledbag and that was definitely one of the best things i did in my life. The work was fun, care about the dogs, care about firewood, build fences and stuff like that never bored me. I really enjoyed to walk around the Subdivision with Tonka, one of her dogs, he is just so funny :D. Oh and she had a litter of puppies at the duration of my stay. They thought its funny to poo under my bed, but how can you be mad at these sweet puppies? Usually the huskies are staying outside the house, only menzie, the leader of the pack (small dachshund) is staying in the house. :D

Chris, her husband, created really awesome dinners, he is a very calm and intelligent man. Prepare to get spoiled with his suppers, its so delicious!

So, if you want to learn about siberian huskies, get known to the funniest women and the best cook in yukon i can deeply recommend Cindy and Chris´ place!

Thank you Cindy and Chris for that opportunity!
