Alaska Sled Dogs and the Ultimate Denali Dogsled Expedition
The first thing Courtney said after introducing herself was, “We don’t adopt out our dogs”. At the moment, I thought it was an odd thing to lead with as we prepared to go on our first Alaska dog sledding expedition. I love Alaska sled dogs, but I had never considered adopting one…but then again, I had never met Courtney and Brian’s dogs from Moon Dog Kennels. As we stepped into the kennel at Earthsong Lodge on the outskirts of Denali National Park, the excitement was building, like a cork about to burst out of champagne. I was excited; however, it was the sled dogs that were about to burst! As they jumped up and down, there was a symphony of howls, barks, and even whimpers. The dogs knew that new people in the kennel meant they got to run, and for an Alaska sled dog – that’s the best thing in the whole wide world.
