Meet the Team
Artemis
Born 05/11/2025 52lbs
A big leggy girl with lots of personality! Artie joined the team in Spring of 2026 as an almost 1 year old. She has an amazing appetite and lots of enthusiasm. She is showing great potential as a leader and I look for her to be leading the team for years to come!
Demon
Born 12/29/2022 33lbs
The little pocket rocket that could! Demon may be small but oh she be mighty! She is a super driven and smart girl, who lead all but one of our races in her first race season! She joined the kennel in Summer of 2025 from Abitibi Sled Dogs. Nicknamed Grumbelina for her silly little grunts and grumbles as she weasels her way in to your lap for an upside down belly rub!
Gingersnap
Born 12/13/2020 47lbs
Sweet Gingie make take some time to warm up to you, but once she does she will smother you with love! She is a sweet sensitive soul who loves to run. She is one of those dogs who is 'invisible' in the team - never doing anything wrong and always super reliable. She is the protector of the dog yard - always sounding the alarm! Ginger joined the team in Fall of 2025.
Jitterbug
Born 05/03/2017 43lbs
The absolute best dog ever! Words can't even describe how much JB means to me. The smartest dog I have ever worked with (she knows over 100 different commands), the best lead dog, and my best friend. Wherever I go, JB is always by my side! She was the first puppy I ever raised, and we grew up together - Highschool and University Graduation. Forever the best girl!
Kip
Born 04/15/2022 63lbs
Kipperoni the weirdo boy! Kip is a big boy packed full of goofy personality. He is a sensitive boy and can sometimes be a bit of a grouch. He loves nothing more than to play with his favourite yellow ball (yes, it has to be one specific yellow one), sleep upside down on the human bed, and run in the team! Kip was raised in our kennel.
Nunie
Born 04/12/2026
A sweet lovable girl who loves everyone she meets - both dog and human! Nunie has a temperament of gold - which is something I highly value in a dog when adding to my team. She loves to go on offleash adventures and sleep in the human bed. She shows great potential as a sled dog and I look forward to having her in my team for years to come!
Roo
Born 07/07/2024 38lbs
Roo - aptly named as she likes to jump straight in the air at meal times and hook up, is a small bubbly girl that joined the team in Summer of 2026, alongside her sister Winnie. They came from a life where they did not receive much socialization or experiences, and are slowly learning all of the life skills in my kennel. Roo is eager to experience new things, and absolutely loves to run. She is super driven and shows some good leader potential!
Winnie
Born 07/07/2024 44lbs
Winnie is a sweet shy soul who takes some time to warm up to new people and new things. Her and her sister Roo joined the kennel Summer of 2026 from a kennel that they did not receive much socialization or lifeskills. Throughout the summer she has begun to come out of her shell and will now approach me on her own accord. She loves to run and gains confidence in the team with each hookup!
Gone but not Forgotten
We wouldn't be where we are today without the dogs who are no longer with us. These are the superstar dogs who have earned their silver harness and have left paw prints on our hearts.
2009 - 2024
Kate
Kate and her sister Koa were my first sled dogs. They both taught me a lot on caring and training sled dogs. Kate was a special girl who loved everyone she met. She was my all star education dog, visiting thousands of students in her years with me. She was an incredible ambassador for the sport of dog mushing.
2009 - 2024
Koa
Koa and her sister Kate were my first sled dogs. Koa was a fantastic lead dog and helped teach both me and Jitterbug about leader training. Her favourite food was DentaSticks, she would always go crazy for them. She was always a very youthful happy girl until the very end and loved snoozing in the sunshine.
2005 - 2018
Diablo
Diablo joined my kennel in 2016 as a seasoned veteran who was ready to live the retired sled dog life. He was an extremely accomplished dog having won 4 Beargrease Marathons and run the Iditarod among many other races. He didn't get too many years with my team, but he taught Jitterbug as a little puppy so many valuable things about being a lead dog.
