Our dog sledding team is comprised
of six to seven Siberian Huskies and Siberian Husky
mixes. Our dogs come from shelters, rescues, and Siberian Husky breeders. Occasionally, we also have a few
visiting sled dogs. For more information
on all of our sled dogs, visit our dogs

It's winter time and it's time for dog sledding! The dogs enjoy the colder temperatures as they run down the trail.

We also do special events involving
dog sledding including delivering Santa Claus,
childrens'
birthday parties and classroom visits to schools
in the Baltimore, Maryland area. Our classroom
programs on dog sledding are particularly
appropriate for classes reading books by Robert
Blake including Akiak and Togo,
Gary Paulson's Dog Team, and Jack London's
classic Call of the Wild and classes
studying Iditarod. If you are a small school group
(10 to 20 kids), we also offer dog sledding field
trips. We've even visited local libraries with
our sled dogs. Visit our tours
page for more information or contact
us for more information. |
| So I'm sure by now you are thinking:
This is Maryland, what if there is no snow? Temperatures
permitting, even when there is no snow, we can
still go. When not running on snow, which is much
of the time here in central Maryland, we dog sled
using our three wheel and four wheel dog
sled rigs (click for picture). In mushing,
a wheeled cart used for dog sledding when there
is no snow is called a “rig” or a “gig.” Our larger
rig allows us to carry a passenger seated on dog
sledding tours and dog sled rides. The larger
rig can be seen in our dog
sledding gallery, which has pictures from
past programs. |
