Sled Dog Tours in Fairbanks, Alaska
Black Spruce Dog Sledding is open most of the year!
*Advanced reservations are required for touring with us*
Even the most organized of kennels may find themselves on the precipice of race day unexpectedly short one special name plate collar for a team member 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♂️ It happens. Thank you @dogbooties for making this in a pinch for Owl!!
Jeff is away getting COVID tested before Iditarod start... Me? I’m online shopping Iditarod’s new line of apparel 😍 voyij.com/iditarod
The 13th dog on our Iditarod team: Jane! This little bug is back to Iditarod for a third attempt at the finish line. After making it all the way to Elim in 2019 (flying home early after showing signs of being a little tired), Jane ran again in 2020. Her race ended early, as she strained a muscle in her hind end, and flew home from Rohn. Jane brings spunk and attitude to the team and really enjoys seeing wildlife on the trail. Let's wish Jane a fun-filled, adventurous, healthy race this year. You've got this, Jane!
Jane

Vet checks are complete!
The team all passed with flying colors, and were solid 4.5-5’s on their body mass index (weight). The team has really been craming their calories for the last month, and a slight reduction in repetition has really brought them into good “Iditarod weight.”
Next step, another Covid test for me, and a few final runs for the team.
