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!

Racing for Team USA in the World Championships

Exciting news!!!  I have been selected to race for Team USA in the IFSS Word Championships in March.  We are additionally excited for this years wc race because they will be held in North Pole. It will be nice to have our friends and family able to see the action this year.   I will be racing in both the 8 dog and the 4 dog class.  The 4 dog is actually two separate events.  One event will be a pursuit race and the other will be a mass start race.  Mass start means all of the teams will leave the starting line at the same time.  Fun and exciting for sure!!!!  

The IFSS World Championships are hosted by the North Pole Economic Development Corporation.  They start off with the junior division races on February 26, 27 and 28 at North Pole.  The races that I will be competing in will be held March 1, 2 and 3 in North Pole at the Morning Star baseball fields.  I happen to have watched my son, Corey, play many little league games at this very filed.  

It's an honor and a privilege to be racing for Team USA.  We are looking forward to the race and we have been training hard in preparation for it. 

Thank God for this opportunity and challenge that lies ahead of us.  We know that you will be guiding us and watching out ahead of us on the trail.
