Iditarod
Champion Susan Butcher
|
Visit
the home and kennels of our neighbor, four time Iditarod champion Susan Butcher,
as we pass Trail Breaker Kennels along the Chena River. Learn first hand about
kennel life and the challenges that go into making a champion dogsled team.
Susan shares her stories of life in the dog yard and on the trails, as puppies
from this year's litter play around her feet in anticipation of joining the team.

Susan
and her husband Dave Monson have run in and won almost every major dog sled race
worldwide. Additionally, Susan has accomplished many challenges never before
attempted, including taking a team of dogs to the summit of Mount McKinley!
Later in the trip you will get a chance to see her Iditarod champion dogs in
action and meet them up close as you hear more about dog mushing during your
visit ashore at the Old Chena Village. |
