Descripción
I have a non professional kennel of 24 Alaskan Huskies around Fox Lake, 50km north to Whitehorse. With my partner Didier, we used to be competitive mushers but the kennel is recreational for 1 year
This is not a business
I am expecting the workawayer I host to be a part of my family and share my everyday life. Yukon lifestyle very specific due to the weather conditions so if you're not familiar with it there is a lot of things to learn and I will be very happy to be your teacher!.
For the winter, I will prefer someone to stay a long period (October/November to March); for the summer, at least two weeks

I am expecting the workawayer I host to be a part of my family and share my everyday life. Yukon lifestyle very specific due to the weather conditions so if you're not familiar with it there is a lot of things to learn and I will be very happy to be your teacher!. Obviously you will learn how to take care of my 24 sled dogs and myself! :-) I'm doing a lot of things by myself in the property so I will be very happy to share what I know to do and very happy to learn from the worker. I think that we can learn a lot from other people experiences!
Ayuda
I'm living a backcountry lifestyle in the Yukon as a musher so there are various farming tasks to do such as:
- dogs feeding,
- dog yard cleaning
- dog petting (very important!)
There are also some general tasks to do, depending on the season
- firewood cutting (winter)
- snow shovelling (winter)
- gardening (summer)
- general maintenance (painting during the summer for example)
Idiomas hablados
Inglés: Fluido

Alojamiento
The helper will have its own cosy cabin (with view on the dog yard!), fully furnished, with a woodstove, one bedroom and one kitchen. I will give you a budget for the food and you will cook by yourself. Of course, we will share some meals together!

The work was varied, from helping chop down trees, shovelling snow, feeding the dogs, lifting & shifting a wide range of stuff around the property, to baking cakes. It was hardwork, challenging and very rewarding.
