One of the questions we are often asked is what happens to our dogs when they aren't in the main racing team. Well, it is very important to us that these dogs are taken care of after all their hard work for us. Many of the dogs remain with us and find new roles as puppy trainers with the young dogs or to run with the kids. Others we place in retirement homes and this page will be updated as we have dogs we feel are good for retirement homes or possibly younger dogs that seem to be better suited to a recreational musher or pet home than a highly competitive kennel. We will soon have some testimonials from folks who have adopted a retiree here as well.

While we know that the Alaskan husky can be a great house pet, we currently have four of them in addition to our mascot Mica the SIberian husky, they are still high energy dogs well into their retirement years.  This is definitley a consideration for those of you interested in adopting a retiree. They will need to have a yard where they can play and be exercised. Though we are always amazed at how easily some of our retirees have adapted to the life of sleeping in in the morning and not having to go outside in inclement weather.

Most of our dogs have never seen cats before so it is an unknown how they will react to them. Some like Swing adore the new cat in their life, while others like Echo and Krafty aren't really sure what to make of the cat in their life. The first introduction to cats will usually set the precedent for the realtionship with the cat in question.

The health and happiness our our dogs is paramount to us. As such, we remain in close contact with those who adopt our dogs so that we can help with any transitional issues that may arise in the new environment.
