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!

Made it to BOSTON!!

So Brian and I made it to Boston! What a relief. Now we just have to wait for Ed and Greg to show up here tomorrow. It was a little heck tick at the airport last night but not too bad. Not as crazy as I expected at the Boston airport as I expected either. Right now Brian is out getting our rental van and I am waiting in the hotel lobby with the dogs :). Everyone traveled well and there were no accidents waiting for us in the kennels, yeah. I took some pictures from the plane as we came into Boston, it was pretty cool. Speaking of cool it's only about 20 here and there is snow on the ground. Doesn't look like the roads are bad, but the drivers are crazy.

In the shuttle on the way over to the hotel a very nice couple from Boston recommended pizza...she said and I'll try to quote "it's aaauwesome" not sure if that totally reflects it, but she was definitely from around here. So far everyone is very nice and interested in the dogs and what we are doing.

Will keep you all posted and will send pictures as soon as I can.
