MEET THE DOGS
THE HEART OF THE OPERATION
Lisbet & Nils operate the Fairbanks branch of the oldest Siberian Husky kennel in the world - Alaskan Kennels.
The dogs are the heart of our operation and we are committed to our dogs for the entirety of their lives.
We enjoy sharing our lifestyle with guests and are happy to address any questions or concerns you may have about sled dogs.
We have 45 AKC registered Siberian Huskies ranging in age from 2 to 14. Each dog has its own unique and individual personality.
ANADYR SIBERIANS
The line of dogs produced by Alaskan Kennels is known as Anadyr Siberians (Anadyr is pronounced “Anna-deer”).
For over seventy years, the primary focus of the kennel has been to preserve and promote the original function and appearance of the Siberian Husky as a sled dog. Alaskan Kennels produces dogs that compete successfully in both sprint and distance races, an accomplishment few kennels can claim.
Alaskan Kennels is committed to maintaining the workability of the Siberian Husky. We believe that participating in sled dog races, both sprint and distance, is is the best way to benchmark the breed. Racing is only possible with the support of sponsors to help offset the costs (it costs $30,000 to run Iditarod, excluding gear).
