Our focus at the Dashing Kennel is on raising, training and racing canine athletes for carting and sledding events.  We have three types of dogs in the kennel, Samoyeds, Alaskan Huskies, and Siberian Huskies. 

The Samoyed is a survivor of harsh arctic life as sledge and herding dog, a dog with both unparalleled beauty as well as rugged working ability.  Today's samoyed is both beautiful and a versatile canine athlete, found competing in agility, obedience, herding, weightpull and skijoring and sledding.

The Alaskan Husky is a mixed breed husky, not a registered dog.  There is no closed stud book.  Their bloodlines include old village dogs from Alaska, hounds, siberian huskies, Irish Setter, and most recently German Short haired pointer.  The Alaskan Husky may vary depending depending upon the needs and desires of the musher who uses him/her.  Alaskan huskies are the premier performance racing canine athletes, dominating performance sled dog events from sprint to the ultra distance events such as the Iditarod. 

The Siberian Husky, like the Samoyed is a purebred breed.  Like the Samoyed, it originates from Siberia.  Unlike the Samoyed, their primary use has been as sled dog and the Siberian has a very strong desire to run and to work in harness.  The Siberian is a breed of great beauty as well as athleticism.  To stand on the runners behind a well trained team of siberians is to experience poetry in motion.
