Truly a great Alaska experience!
This is a "must do" for anyone who wants to meet some sled dogs and talk to people who know and love the dogs. We saw Trail Breaker Kennels from the riverboat and really wanted to meet the puppies up close. We experienced the dogs pulling an ATV, meeting the dogs individually, meeting/ holding 2 week old puppies, learning everything we wanted to know about the Iditarod from someone who has competed it. Riley was informative, patient with our kids and so obviously dedicated to the dogs and the sport. We were ready to take the puppies home. Truly a great Alaska experience!

Mushing Demo and Kennel Tour
We went on the Mushing Demo and Kennel Tour. This was an excellent tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and willing to answer all of our questions. The demonstration was great! We got to hold the puppies and pet the dogs. I would highly recommend this tour.

Fun learning experience
Great history directly from the legendary family. You learn a lot about the sport, the training and the dogs. The kennel is full of dogs that you can interact with throughout the visit. If you're lucky you might even get to hold a puppy or two!

Mushing in the summer sun - Who knew !!!!!!!
I first discovered this kennel during the Riverboat Discovery tour........ Decided to Google and see what they offered. I never imagined they would have any summer activities, but they still need to exercise the dogs and this is where the side by side comes into play !!!!! While powered lightly by a musher - who still gives commands - you get to see the dogs in full action during their 2 mile jaunt. In addition to the ride, you also get to meet and pet all the dogs in your team, watch them frolic in the river immediately following their hard work and then pet the up and coming puppies before wrapping up. I thought this was a very unique, fun and informative tour - I would highly recommend.

Iditarod sled dogs in training
Our tour group took us to this location and the people running this are phenomenal. It is a family run tour that features their sled dogs in action. And we had the chance to see some of their 5 week old puppies. They explained what goes into training a sled dog and the rigors of mushing a competition team in the Iditarod race. I would highly recommend a visit to anyone who is lucky enough to get the chance to see this kennel operation.
