    Description

    Have 26 sled dogs, ( alaskian husky bred ) into long distance racing with real huskies . Competed in 300 mile race ( Canadian challenge, am planning to keep racing, and love the aspect of exploring the wilderness with my team of dogs .
    I am not doing this as a business or tours , just as a hobby , and way of life .

    I love sharing the cultural experiences of dog mushing, racing and knowledge to others and love learning about others way of life as well in exchange for wilderness and home living,, I love other cultures as well and want to learn your ways of survival, meals u eat , ideas of things u do in your country and your way of life .
    I am really love sharing the process of the sled dog culture and what it takes to get on a sled and enjoy the ride exploring the wilderness with the dogs .
    My schedule of the work week mon- fri is i I work week days from 8am - 4:30 pm with a 40 min drive to and from work. (8hr) day i work .During the weekdays i work a full time job, and throughout the week when things are slow i run and exercise my dogs at home on the trails . I share my activities and what is involved with the dogs each day, all of my tasks can be done together .
    As u stay at my place, I would love your input ideas , of your culture and area u live and activities u enjoy , through exchange would be great .
    On evenings and weekends I am available to share cultural experience, and can share dog care activities, i work to help pay for this lifestyle and having the help ensures the dogs are cared for and develops them for racing .
    If u feel more comfortable and able to handle the dogs more will be given only depending on your level of experience, and tasks as well with comfortability to the task .
    The experience that is offered here is seeing sled dogs, learning the training aspects , dog care , dogsled and ie pulling experience.

    If u have your own vehicle accommodation u are welcome to explore the area, there are mountains and hiking areas however they are up to 1-3 hrs depending on where u go to do extreme hiking. I have areas of exploring wilderness where i train my dogs , depends on the time when i go into my wilderness more so in winter. There is also ski hills near by within an hour away, as well as site seeing places that can be explored.

    If u plan to come here it would be respectful to stay at least two weeks as this helps arrange next guests and scheduling it better planned.
    In the springtime i plan to grow garden and seed it to accommodate basic home living .

    I believe in God and like the atmosphere to be peaceful and friendly enjoyable memories to share .

    1st week : Routine of learning to feed/clean/ groom get to know huskies, we can do together .
    Cleaning your own space as well is a expectation and bathroom your using keeping it sanitary to use.
    The tasks that i share 100% of the time here are : exercising huskies, running them , harness training, care taking
    Activities such as dog cleaning, yard cleaning , dog brushing , feeding these are not all daily however feeding is daily routine i do and watering in the summertime .
    Occasionally couple days out of the month i may require to have to work out of town , however 90% of the time out of the year i am always at home.
    The only requirement would be to feed dogs if i had to work out of town in a emergency or plan outage at work, again this is comfortability as i do have nearby neighbor and friends that can assist in these rare situations.
