About us

About Us ~

Our kennel is made up of hound / AK husky cross sprint race sled dogs. We are based out of Fairbanks and race around the great state of Alaska. We are a world class kennel that takes the sport of dog mushing very seriously.

Both of us, Jennifer Probert-Erhart and Carl Erhart, are Athabascan Natives from interior Alaska. Carl grew up in Tanana and Jennifer in Tok/Tanacross. Our history in the sport goes back many generations. The Probert, Denny, Ehart and Woods families combined have countless hours and miles on the back of a dog sled and we are blessed to come from such a talanted, amazing and gifted group of people. The stories, advice and information that we get from our family is not only interesting but critical to the success of our kennel. Carrying on not only a family tradition, but a sport that was a way of life for our Athatbascan people is a great honor for both of us.

Currently we compete primarily in the limited class races but plan on running more open class races. Our dreams of running the "big ones" meaning the Open North American and the Rondy are getting closer and closer to being a reality. Our kids also compete in the junior races and our parents still play an active role in the kennel.

We invite you to follow along as we prepare the dogs for raceing, travel around the state to compete in the races and share the ups and downs of the wonderful, exciting sport of sprint dog mushing.

We are looking for sponsors to help with the cost of food, vet care and travel expenses. For more information about becoming a sponsor please contact us directly at prodogkennel@gmail.com

Thank you for taking your time to spend with us!

In Daaquam!!!!!!

We made it!

Ed and Greg made it to Boston yesterday safe and sound. We rested and got the dogs fed and watered. We have 2 cargo vans that are going to work out well.

We traveled to Daaquam today. It was a long beautiful drive. It was a bit windy thru Maine and chilly. Jackman Maine was very cold and windy. The border crossing was easy, they didn`t even look at the dogs! Lots and lots of long narrow farm roads and passing logging trucks.

Thank god for the Garmin GPS!!!! That really saved our nerves in Boston and all the way to Quebec.
Thank god for friends that can speak french and can call your motel to confirm things.
Thank god for cell phones and the internet!!!!

I am at the Daaquam Village now and so happy to find out that they have internet and I can keep up the blog for everyone.

Also we are having problems with allowing posts. I will try and fix it. Thanks for keeping track of us and we`ll keep you posted.

Jennifer and Brian
