Agility can be used to build confidence with sled dogs.
Our smallest dog (T-Bone) and our largest dog (Okemo) have shown surprising aptitude for agility. We find that agility builds confidence in the dogs and helps them as sled dogs.

T-Bone, our resident small dog,  proved to be an adept agility dog at Mushing Boot Camp.

So what do they do when they aren't working? If they are like Sobo, they get silly!

Sled pets are extra special sled dogs except that they sleep on your bed, not outside.
Is there a difference between a working dog and a sled pet? Our dogs like to think so, especially when it's cold and windy outside.

Maryland Sled Dog Adventures LLC is a micro mushing educational program provider in Baltimore, Maryland.

Our dogs are a part of our family and are as much sled pets as working dogs. We started dog sledding with our first two dogs because we were looking for a way to exercise our dogs. If you have a high energy dog and would like to try out dog powered sports, check out our unique Run What You Brung opportunities.

Our sled pets are family. They will live their entire lives with us including their retirement years (this is unusual in the dog sledding world). They also get benefits, a 401(k) package, and a hot dog incentive package. Because we firmly believe in rescue, we do not breed.

Today, dog sledding, dryland mushing, skijoring, canicross, dog scootering, and other dog powered sports are things that we do to spend time with our dogs. It's not about getting them to pull you, it's about enjoying the precious time that you have with them.

Sobo (aka Mr. Buboo and Sobolicious) is our eight year old Siberian Husky. Sobo originally came from Frederick County Animal Control as a four month old Siberian puppy with "too much energy." Sobo was a rescue dog that we were fostering for Tails of the Tundra Siberian Husky Rescue, Inc. Because he was a such a good fit with Zoë and T-Bone, we failed Fostering 101 and decided to make him a permanent family member. Sobo is a bit of a grumbler when you hug him, but it's just the way he talks to you. It's funny to hear Sobo when he joins into the husky group power howl. Sobo, like most huskies, loves howling. Come out to meet Sobo and hear him howl today.

Okemo is our loveable hug-a-head Siberian Husky-Akita mix sled dog.

Okemo (aka Okimer, Keemie) is our six year old Siberian Husky mix who is eighty pounds of husky power. Okemo came to us via the big silver stork (Delta airlines) from a rescue in Tennessee. Okemo has made huge strides since he started as a puppy. Okemo is a bit of a tank and typically runs in the wheel position. He digs in hard and has the ideal build for a powerful wheel dog. Okemo also loves to have his nose rubbed, has the softest ears, and loves food. Okemo is a big, blue eyed hugga head. Come and hear his woo-woos.

Kiana's Leave it to Beaver SDO RN (aka Beaver) is an awesome and very experienced siberian husky who became a permanent part of Maryland Sled Dog Adventures LLC after the 2012- 2013 season. Beaver ran on Scott and Corina Alexander's mid-distance racing team and compteted in events like the Can-Am 30 and 60 prior to joining Maryland Sled Dog Adventures LLC. Beaver's SDO rating is the highest recognition a sled dog can receive for achievement in running or racing from the Siberian Husky Club of America.

Acadia relaxes at the cabin

Acadia (aka Kadie) is our four year old Siberian Husky. Acadia comes to us from Kiana Siberians, a Siberian husky breeder in New Hampshire that specializes in multipurpose Siberian Huskies. With Acadia, we were looking for a Siberian Husky with strong running lines and a good temperament. Acadia's sire is CAN CH Sequoia's The Memory Remains CGC, TT, AM/CAN CD, RN, WPD, SD (Orion) and her dam is Northome's Isabel, CGC, RN, SD (Belle). Acadia (link to pedigree) was one of a litter of five. Acadia has become a strong lead dog with her drive and stamina. Come out and visit her for some kisses.

Sammamish (aka Sammi) is was born in August, 2010 and runs in both lead and team. Sammi is from Kiana Siberians in Sanbornton, NH. Scott and Corina also bred our little lead dog, Acadia. Sammi is an AKC registered, red and white, blue eyed Siberian Husky. His sire is CH Alkasiber's Tres Pete and his dam is CAN CH Kiana's Khocolate Kiss, CGC, TT, WPD, WLD, RA, SDO ("Valeska"). Sammi joined the team in Fall 2011.

Sammamish is our newest addition
