Hardcore Huskies

Heather`s on the phone!

Hardcorehuskies musher Heather Siirtola recently spoke with the 5th grade class at St. Mary`s School in Bismarck, ND by telephone from her kennel in Talkeetna, Alaska. The kids had lots of questions about the race and what it is like mushing across the Alaskan wilderness.

Welcome to Hardcore Huskies!

We are an up and coming dog sled team with our kennel of more than 30 dogs located in Talkeetna Alaska.

We just completed our second Iditarod this year. In 2007, we finished in a little over 16 days; 56th out of 82 mushers. This year we did it two days faster in 14 days 1 hour 49 minutes. Not bad for a small kennel up against the big boys! We hope to continue that trend of improvement and one day compete for the big prize.

Please check out our website because if you don`t I`ll have my dog bite you on your skinny little butt! HA!
