Ed and I began mushing dogs together about 7 years ago in Ludington, Michigan. For the past 4 years, we lived and trained our dogs in Duluth, Minnesota.  Both Ed and I had been working full time in addition to running our kennel, Ed as a production supervisor and myself as a 1st grade teacher.  We made the decision to quit our full time jobs in order to pursue our passion--sled dogs.  Due to 4 years of poor snow conditions in Minnesota and limited trail acces from our home, we moved our kennel to McMillan in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  By having a full time commitment to our kennel, we were able to build our racing team and our business.  After our first year of full time racing and touring, we accomplished what no other team ever has; completeing three of the longest distances races in the same year:  The Iditaord, the UP 200 and the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon.   In addition, over 200 people visited our kennel this past year to learn to drive a dog sled or take a ride.   Life is such an adventure!
