Sponsor Me Please!

It is possible to choose any of our huskies who are not already sponsored, but the following are examples from each category that would love the extra help. Don't worry if you cannot afford the full cost of keeping the dog here through the year (as detailed in sponsorship options). Any contribution at all towards each of these characters will be much appreciated.

Please send all sponsorship enquiries to [email protected].


RETIRED & OLDER DOGS

The following dogs are older or 'less-good' sled-dogs who, as a result of their nature, are probably not so easy to find new homes for. We are fully expecting to care for them into their old age. For this reason, we have them on the 'please sponsor me' list, since any help at all with their long term care would be appreciated.



Find out more about each of these dogs, below.

MORE ABOUT OUR PROFILED WORKING DOGS

Hickory

Hickory is one of our H-pups born in 2014 on our farm. His whole litter were destined to pull to their heart's content, and are extremely hard workers. However, because of this Hickory needs a lot of extra food to keep him healthy!

Running Position: Lead/Wheel, D.O.B: 31.07.2014, 2019-20 season running total: 2712km


Japp

Japp came to us in autumn 2016 at the same time with Dole and Doffen, his half-brothers. He is one of our strongest and fastest Alaskan huskies, but because of his short coat and energy use Japp has difficulty keeping weight on. For this reason he needs to be consistently fed more than most of the other sled-dogs and watched closely.

Running Position: Improving leader, D.O.B: 28.04.2014, 2019-20 season running total: 2507km


Ice

Running Position: Lead, D.O.B: 04.06.2013, 2019-20 season running total: 2666km


Georgie

Running Position: Team/Wheel, D.O.B: 05.09.2013, 2019-20 season running total: 993km


Maple

I was Sirbma's last-born pup and brought our 2017 puppy count to a nice, even nine boys and nine girls. There were actually two more pups born before me but one of them hadn't formed and one, Snip, unfortunately got squished by my mom when he was just 9 days old. All black face, white legs and belly. I had a cluster of five white hairs on the back of my neck when I was little, which was the only way I could be told apart from my sister Apple. Now I am definitely bigger and prettier than her! I am slightly larger than my sister Apple, and have a lighter face. I have a little black dot on my forehead.

While pretty, Maple is extremely difficult to find running/cage partners. For this reason, we need to spend extra time socialising her and working with her in the line.

Running Position: Team/Wheel, D.O.B: 13.08.2017, 2019-20 season running total: 1723km


Indigo

Indigo came as a very shy rescue dog who cowered in the corner of the kitchen when anyone came too close. After a lot of time and love, she has become more confident in herself. Now, she is an extremely happy lady who likes nothing more than to play with her girlfriends.

We didn't know how Indigo would turn out as a sled dog, but with guidance from Diva she has become a wonderful leader-in-training. Before setting off, Indigo wriggles around like a worm in line, easily getting harness rub on her back. For this reason, she has to wear a special fluffy harness whenever she runs!

Running Position: Lead/Team, D.O.B: Jan. 2013, 2019-20 season running total: 1958km
