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!

Getting geared up

Its that time of year when the nights are getting darker and cooler. The dogs are getting restless and the people are getting excited. The leaves are starting to turn color... the season is changing. Training season is right around the corner. The kids will be back in school and we will start running the dogs. Looking forward to days of training and hard work followed by a home cooked meal with conversation about the dogs.

We have been working on a trailer for the dog box and its coming along nicely. Getting everything ready for safe and comfortable traveling for both the dogs and the driver this year. Lots of changes and updates to the kennel dynamics this year and I'm more than excited to see what this year has in store for us.

Keep posted for details and pictures on the New and Improved Kennel.
