Dog Team Available
I am looking for someone who is
interested in running my dogs, 29, in training this
season 08/09 for especially Iditarod Qualifiers such as
Seney 300 and UP 200. On the table is an offer for use
of my cabin, the entire team (29 dogs) for the season,
and my coaching and help as much as I can find time.
Several dogs (8) have been to Nome and all dogs are high
probability candidates for Iditarod. Costs?
Fifty/fifty on dog food, people food and propane during
Sept –Feb.
It is a marvelous opportunity way
for someone to get up to speed fast with an Iditarod
caliber team, and reliably get qualifiers done. Plus it
is an opportunity to live in an environment where other
Iditarod mushers are often coming with their teams and
ample opportunity for social networking.
I hope to maintain the caliber and
conditioning on the dogs for a possible run in Iditarod
again in 2010.
My wife Jennifer is now is working
in Albuquerque, NM. I am trying to bridge past this
season, keeping the dogs in shape for a possible
Iditarod or Quest in 2010. I need some schedule
flexibility so if needed I can spend a little time with
Jennifer in Albuquerque to keep her from getting too
homesick.
I am open to alternatives and
willing to negotiate.
