New Dog Yard

Here is a view of the new Hardcore Husky dog yard looking from the shop toward my new house.

Welcome to Hardcore Huskies!

Hello. My name is Heather Siirtola and I am the owner/operator of the The Hardcore Huskies racing team. The Team and I ran and completed our third consecutive Iditarod earlier this year. We finished in 51st place in 15 days, 11 hours 35 minutes.

Considering the weather this year, not bad for a small kennel up against the big boys! We hope to continue to improve and one day compete for the big prize.

We added some new members to the Hardcore Team in 2009 and expect to our time to significantly improve in future races.

Please check out our website. We are a small up and coming dog sled team. My kennel has about 35 dogs and we are located near Talkeetna Alaska.

I hope you will support us in our efforts. Thank you.
