8-Dog Sled Dog Team 1996
I had my first pet Siberian Husky in 1980 while a medical student in Texas (and dreaming of snowier climes...) In 1986 after ski joring with 2 dogs, I began running in sleddog races organized by the Rocky Mountain Sled Dog Club and Colorado Mountain Mushers. Initially I trained and ran with 3, then 4, and ultimately 8 dogs.... I've always run with AKC Siberians some of whom we showed to Championships (see familly llife index for photos). My first love with the dogs, however, is running--as seen here at the 1996 Granby Race. I enjoy the longer training runs--particularly full moon night runs on Boreas Pass. My kids are now running 3 and 4 dog teams as of 2003. Click here for additional sleddog pictures....
