It is official! We have secured our foundation dogs from a breeder in northern Canada, and are arranging the logistics for getting our foundation team of the world’s rarest, and North America’s only remaining indigenous dog breed… the Canadian Eskimo Dog (CED), also called the Canadian Inuit Dog (Nunavut), or Qimmiq.
More news to follow, but this marks a career-long goal of incorporating Eskimo dogs into our lives and programming, and a return to our early-career training as Dogsled Guides & Naturalists, for Polar Explorer & Author, Paul Schurke of Wintergreen Dogsled Lodge in Ely MN.
The dogs will support our ski treks and will become hallmarks of our Alaskan Wilderness Therapy and Alaskan Trekking programs.
