A Day in the Life of a (Greenland Husky) Sled dog: Ep. 3 Anatoli
Getting Anatoli was a dream come true for me. I had always wanted a Greenland Husky, but as the name suggests, they originate in Greenland and are extremely difficult to import to the US. We were given Anatoli when we also agreed to take his Tripod dad Disko. Anatoli has been such a fun addition. He is easily our prettiest boy and loves spending his time getting belly rubs from our guests. He is truly one of a kind, and we all know it.

Harnessing Passion: The Arctic Rescue Sled Dog Team
Arctic Breed Rescue owners Maren and Racer Gibson have been saving Huskies and Malamutes, deemed "unadoptable," for the past 20 years. They understand this breed and that the dogs are often misunderstood; the dogs are lively and energetic, and if this energy doesn’t receive an appropriate outlet, it can be channeled negatively.
With this in mind, the Gibsons were inspired to create a dog sledding operation called Team G Sled Dogs, booked through All Seasons Resorts in Park City, Utah, giving the energetic rescues and fosters independence and purpose. Pulling the sleds allows them to run and embrace the open spaces of Park City. Now, rather than being perceived as “unadoptable,” the dogs have proven themselves unstoppable.

Sprint sled dog race through Anchorage
The annual sled dog sprint competition at Fur Rendezvous billed as the Open World Championship usually features three consecutive days of racing on a 26-mile course, with teams powered by as many as 20 rocketing dogs.
Nothing is the usual this year, though.
Not the distance, not the course, not the conditions, not the format, not the start procedure, not the size of the teams, not the purse and not the race’s name.
Yet, in a wonderfully stubborn attempt to salvage something meaningful from the nearly snow-free conditions and warm temperatures that have plagued outdoor winter sports in general and reduced local dog trails to ice in particular, Rondy organizers unveiled truncated racing Friday afternoon.
