The Future Home of Iditarod Dreams Part 2

July 12, 2010 by robertforto Leave a Comment

The Future of Iditarod Dreams Part 2

If you got a chance to listen to the latest episode of the Mush! You Huskies Radio show you will know by now that the future home of the Team Ineka mushing kennel will be in Willow, Alaska.

Listen to the show here: Team Ineka in Alaska

After almost six months of traveling across North America, searching out suitable properties in Minnesota (twice), California and Alaska, we have settled on the Alaska property. While we would have loved to stay here in the Lower-48 states, it was just not possible. The Minnesota kennels were either too expensive or the county would not allow us to have a sled dog kennel. The California property was very nice but you had to drive well over an hour to run dogs and it was just too hot!

The Willow property is not a mansion by any stretch of imagination. It is a true musher’s property but it does have running water, electricity and full speed internet. There is an outhouse on the four acres “just in case”.

It is every mushers dream of finding a place in Alaska, and many of us have hopes of running the Iditarod one day. Team Ineka is one step closer now with the purchase of this property.

There are many things that are appealing about this place but a couple to note are: 1. dogs are allowed and we will not need special permission from the county or our neighbors. In fact there are several mushers in the neighborhood. 2. There are already kennel runs on the property. They need repair but they are there. 3. You can run dogs right from your property. I can literally hook up my team and go with a trail-head leading right up to the kennel.

Our goal is to spend six months a year in Alaska and six months in Colorado. We will maintain our business, Denver Dog Works here and it will remain fully operational with our third partner taking over the day to day tasks in about a year. We love Colorado but this is a place that we could not pass up.

My goal is to run the Iditarod in 2013. I will begin building my team immediately after my arrival in Alaska and start to run races starting this winter. By 2012 I will be running my qualifiers for the Iditarod and enter the race the following year.

While I have thought about this dream since the day I purchased my first Siberian Husky in the fall of 1987, it will take a tremendous amount of work to make this dream a reality but this is the first step to make it happen.

Canine Instinct on the Dog Doctor Radio Show

Canine Instinct on the Dog Doctor Radio Show

On the latest edition of the Dog Doctor Radio Show we were pleased to interview a couple of very special guests; dog trainer, Kyle Warren and the producer of the just released film, Canine Instinct, Nicholas Goodman. While the show was intended as a review of the film it ended up becoming a very enlightening conversation about dog training, life and just talking dogs.

Listen to the show: Canine Instinct on the Dog Doctor Radio Show

Canine Instinct is a film that features Warren and is product of three years in the life of one of the most down to earth, most personable dog trainers I have ever met.

Read the film review here: Canine Instinct

The film is not your typical how-to flick to show dog owners how to teach your dog sit. Canine Instinct is about a man and how lives are changed by the canines he works with.  Warren is also an avid search and rescue handler/trainer and has worked extensively on searches using his two dogs, Mya and Quax.

Purchase the film here: Canine Instinct

In the film, Goodman captured the essence of Warren and portrayed him as the man whose life principles, lessons, goals and values are intertwined in his work with dogs in up-state New York.

The just released film has won several awards already and is primed to make a huge impact in the very specialized world of canine training. It is a must see for any one interested in canine behavior or dog training or just an inspirational story of a man and his dogs.

If you would like to find out more about Warren’s work with dogs please visit his website at Kyle Warren Dogs. Warren has also written a book about his work with canines and you can find out more information here: Stay. Come. Heel. Every Time

If you have a comment or question for Kyle Warren, producer Nicholas Goodman, or a question for our hosts please email at live@dogdoctorradio.com

The Dog Doctor Radio Show can be heard every Saturday morning at 9:30 am MDT or anytime by download at Blogtalkradio or on iTunes, just search ‘Dog Works Radio’ If you know someone who would like to be a guest on the show please let us know.
