Attention Mushers:
The new starting date for the Gin Gin 200 has been rescheduled for Dec. 28th, 2009-same time, same place. Our checkpoint, Maclaren River Lodge has been booked for their New Years Eve party, 40 some snow machines plus a firework display party. As a race organization, we have discussed all of our options and considered all the safety factors involved---and we feel this is the next best thing we can do without having to do a route change.

Please note the Taiga 300 date changes as well. The new Taiga 300 starting date will take place on Feb. 18th 2010, starting and ending at Wolverine Lodge.

Any questions or concerns you may have, please feel free to contact us by email or leave a message on our cell. We are in the middle of a move with the kennel from our Maclaren cabins to our home in Paxson, so if we don’t get right back to you, we will as soon as we can.
If you want to withdraw due to the date change please let us know within one week of this notice.  Thanks for your understanding and sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
We’ll send out weather and trail report next month.

Welcome to Crazy Dog Kennels

We are located in the foothills of the magnificent Alaska Range near the edge of timberline. Crazy Dog Kennel is a competitive racing kennel dedicated to the training and rehabilitation of unwanted sled dogs.

Half of the dogs in our kennel come from area animal shelters or are dogs rejected from other kennels. Many of these dogs would be considered to be unadoptable prior to their arrival at our facility. Here at CDK we let “dogs be dogs”; they are socialized with the goal of letting them become an integral part of the dog community. There are no failures at our kennel; all of the dogs are successfully rehabilitated and go on to race with us or are sent on to adoptive homes where most are used for recreational mushing. Sled dogs also make great house pets and many of our dogs become valued members of their adoptive households. Socialization and behavior adjustments are achieved through innovative, positive training techniques; there are few magic solutions; time and perseverance are the answer to most issues.

Teams from Crazy Dog Kennel and Canine Rescue have competed in and won races such as the Yukon Quest, Copper Basin 300, U.P. 200 and many others. We will be fielding a mixed team of rescues in the 2010 Iditarod.

We have well-behaved dogs of all ages and abilities available for immediate adoption. We also offer, dog sledding tours, rides and scheduled training clinics.

ZOYA'S PLACES
2ND IN THE 2006
CHATANIKA
200

IN TWO RIVERS, ALASKA

This challenging sled dog race was riddled with overflow and cold temperatures. Eighteen mushers entered the Chatanika 200 race. Three have scratched. Winds bit at the mushers climbing up the hills making the 20 below gnaw at their faces. Zoya said the dogs did well dealing with the winds and the long stretchs of over flow "They were impressive, there were times the trail was just gone due to the heavy over flow, but the dogs kept a good attitude and looked very good at the completion of the race". We are so proud of them" she says. For complete race results click here
