Dogs Our dogs are the pride of Uncommon Journeys. The Southern Yukon is a paradise for sled dogs.
Long winters combine with cool summers and bothersome bugs are almost nonexistent.
All of the dogs in our kennel are Alaskan huskies with the exception of Zach and Elias who are three quarters Canadian Inuit dog from the Eastern Arctic. They are the product of a litter of puppies who were born at Outward Bound during a season we guided on Baffin Island. The majority of our dogs are born and bred at our kennel. We do however aquire mature racing dogs from our friends sometimes, who compete in the Yukon Quest and Iditarod long distance races. These dogs have been part of world class dogteams but are now a little slow to remain on the main team.
