When we showed up to the kennel, we were greated warmly by Matt & Liz. They were so happy to show us around the kennel, introducing us to the various Iditarod finishers, and letting us spend some extra time in the puppy pen (my favorite!). We especially loved their side room full of merchandise and memorabilia. It was so interesting to hear how Matt worked his way from Ohio to having his dogs featured on the cover of Oprah's magazine! We didn't have time for a dog sled adventure tour, but were able to see the set-up and could tell they were about as enthusiastic as the pups in meeting new people and getting them out on the trail to experience some of the mushing fun first-hand. Have recommended them before, and will continue to do so! You won't find anyone else in the game as client-focused and dog-loving as these two... and we live in Alaska! :)
