Sledge dog kennels at Denali
16.09.2022 - 16.09.2022
We have visited the sledge dog kennels and watched the demonstration in the afternoon. They told about the history of the kennel which started in the 1920ies with 7 dogs. Now they help patrolling the park against poachers and carry a lot of building materials to the remote parts of the park.
The dogs were quite a character. We learned about their large paws, useful flurry tails to protect their nose during sleeping and the double fur coat: one thick water repellent and protective layer and another dense and fluffy heat insulator layer.
We have seen a short "test drive" of the training cart too.
