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!

Tanacross Race Start Order

We went out to Tanacross for the drawing and a great dinner, what a spread!!!   They sure know how to put on a dinner.

I was surprised with a "welcome back" from the village and had to make a speech...that I wasn't aware of.  I'm not as shy as I used to be talking in front of people, it's just that without fail I think of all these things that I should have said just as soon as I sit back down.  So thanks again to everyone and I mean everyone who have helped make this race season possible for us.  It has been a great journey, one that I will never forget, but as I have said many times before, I am glad to be back home!  

I am excited about the races for this weekend.  It's pretty windy out and has been for the better part of today. Hopefully it dies down a little for tomorrow and Sunday.  

Also very cool is all the family that will be racing this weekend.  My uncle Roy and aunt Agnes will be in the 6 dog class and my uncle Tom and Evelyn will be in the 10 dog class.  Should be lots of fun.  

Here are the start orders for tomorrow.  Check back for results tomorrow night.

Good Luck to everyone and may you all have a clean run.
