Meet the Team
Hi, I’m Ethan Marsh,
Having my own sled dog kennel has truly been a transformative experience, one that has enriched my life in countless ways. The love and companionship they offer have not only brought me joy but have also significantly strengthened my friendships and family relationships.
Since I welcomed these furry friends into my home, I've witnessed a remarkable shift in how my friends interact with me. They have rallied around me, offering their support and assistance in caring for the dogs, often prioritizing the needs of the animals above their own. It’s been heartwarming and inspiring to see this selflessness in action; whether it’s friends volunteering to help with chores, visits to the vet, or simply spending time playing with them, their willingness to step up has deepened our bonds and created a sense of community around our shared love for these dogs.

Meet the Dogs
Our Dogs are Direct Descendants of 10th Mountain Division Sled Dogs
Today our sled dogs carry forward the legacy of the 10th Mountain Division. Our team of dogs is directly descended from the courageous sled dogs that once served alongside soldiers during their training. We take heavy pride in continuing the tradition of working with these remarkable animals who possess the same resilience, adaptability, and spirit that characterized the soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division.

Alfalfa
#fhtogglels/Read Bio/Close/ib
Very strong and very loud. When we put Alfalfa on the line, he lets us know how excited he is. He's a very good boy and pulls extremely hard next to his brother AJ. Back home at the kennel, alfalfa is a goofball. Careful giving him kisses! He likes to give you a small nose chomp :)

Fidel
#fhtogglels/Read Bio/Close/ib
Fidel is the first dog I have had the honor to train into sledding. I'm extremely proud of the dog he is becoming. Whether it’s his family display of manners, sitting at my feet when he's excited and wants pets or showing his skill by leading the team with Kaltag, Fidel loves the sled dog lifestyle and I couldn't be happier with him.

Kaltag
#fhtogglels/Read Bio/Close/ib
Our oldest dog and our best lead Kaltag is 10 with the heart of a puppy. We don't know when he will want to quit running, if ever. But when he does, he will receive the royal retirement treatment.

Basalt
#fhtogglels/Read Bio/Close/ib
Our best sled dog by far, super talented lives to run. He thrives on any position on the sled. We use Basalt to teach the youngins how to run because of his impeccable technique and drive to pull. Basalt does not like to take breaks and he will let you know as soon as he is over it.

Cayenne
#fhtogglels/Read Bio/Close/ib

Tesla

-
Digo
#fhtogglels/Read Bio/Close/ib
Digo was my first dog ever. He's who got me into mushing, although he's an Australian cattle dog/lab mix. When he was younger he had so much energy I had to start having him pull me down the river trail. I got a job at Krabloonik to make his life better, and it made mine what it is today. In a way I owe all of this to Digo. Digo is a really good guard dog as well.
-
Toklat
#fhtogglels/Read Bio/Close/ib
Very free spirit like his sister Ashcroft. Toklat is damn near uncontainable. The good thing is he doesn’t leave, He’ll just break out of his kennel then stay around the main area.
-
Pyramid
#fhtogglels/Read Bio/Close/ib
Pyramid is free-spirited and smart.
We get it. You need to meet these pups.
