Nature's Kennel is home to the outstanding Alaskan Huskies of Ed and Tasha Stielstra. A well-deserved thanks goes to our dogs for fourteen years of racing, including two UP 200 Championships and the top lower-48 Iditarod finish in 2009 and 2011. Congratulations to Ed and Banjo, Fiddle, Ayn, Rhu, Gus, Clark, Flynt, Krister, Judge, Cupid, and Erie for their 2011 27th place IDITAROD finish in 10 days, 14 hours and 1 minute!!! Ed is preparing for Iditarod 2012. You can be part of the team by adopting one of the Mighty Mutts from his Iditarod team or joining him on an extreme winter adventure.
