MEET
ALYSSA AND ROHN
We have always been dog lovers, especially working dogs.
We both started working with sled dogs at a very young age, it has been our lives’ passion.
Rohn grew up in Alaska with competitive sled dogs, he has run the Iditarod 3 times, and participated in many mid-distance races.
Alyssa mainly enjoys day trips with the dogs, fun runs with friends and their teams, and the occasional race.
We love and admire sled dogs and want to share these amazing animals with as many people as possible.
We love the sled dogs’ zest for life.
They are the happiest dogs you’ll ever meet and are always up for an adventure – whether that’s pulling a sled, going for a hike, or playing in the yard. We are lucky to share this bond with them, and their unconditional love.
The dogs of Susitna Sled Dog Adventures are more than our dogs, they’re our family. We love that we get to share our passion with all of you!
Words can’t accurately describe what it’s like to traverse the wilderness with your best friends, but we hope that you get a taste of it when you’re on the trail!

Gunnar
Mrs. Hudson
Alaskan Husky. 4 years old. Littermate to Watson. Hudson came to us in the fall of 2021 from our friends at Sivo Racing Kennel. She is incredibly sweet, but when in harness she has a tendency to boss around her partner. She can run anywhere in the team and is working on developing her leading ability. Hudson is Sponsored by the Boyce Family!
Watson
Alaskan Husky. 4 years old. Littermate to Hudson. He came to us in the Winter of of 2022 from our friends at Sivo Racing Kennel. Watson has arguably the best ears in the kennel, look how they cutely lay to the side. He can be a bit shy at first, but will be your best friend if you rub his hips.
salt
Alaskan Husky. 3 years old. Shy and sweet Salty girl loves to run! If she gets left behind she will loudly protest. She is an awesome sled dog and great leader. She has such a calm nature and usually quietly follows us around the yard, asking to get pet.
kestrel
Alaskan Husky. Luck brought Kestrel to us when she was still a puppy. She needed a home and everything worked out for us to take her in. She has been a phenomenal dog since day 1. She acts years older than she is, and is always charging to go
Legend
Alaskan Husky.
EPIC
Alaskan Husky.
stinson
Alaskan Husky. 7 years old. Half brother of Salt. Stinson is a very sweet and energetic guy! He came to us in the fall of 2021 from our friends at Sivo Racing Kennel. He’s always talking and letting us know what he thinks, he’s also the reason we now wear hearing protection when we feed the dogs or do anything that gets them excited and barking. He is an amazing sled dog, and makes the cutest noise when he thinks we aren’t going fast enough (if you’ve been out with a team that Stinson is on, you’ve heard it).
ruger
4 year old Alaskan Husky. Ruger came to us from Team Warren in Idaho when she was a puppy. She is one of the younger dogs in the team. She is well rounded and can run anywhere in the team. Unlike most Alaskan Huskies, Ruger absolutely loves to go swimming! When we take her paddle boarding, she usually spends more time in the water than she does riding on the board. Ruger is full of personality, she can be a bit shy to strangers, but is an absolute sweetheart to people she knows well.
BROOKS
Alaskan Husky. 6 years old. Brooks came to us in the Winter of 2022 from our friends at Sivo Racing Kennel. Brooks is full of personality and and sass, always bouncing around the yard. LOVES to lead, and will throw a huge fit if she has to run in any other position. She is a great indoor dog and gives the best cuddles.
qute
Alaskan Husky. Qute (pronounced cute) is a very unique girl. She prefers dogs to humans and seems to finally tolerate me. Unlike most of our dogs, she’s not a fan of being pet and prefers to follow me around at arms length. She’s a great sled dog and pretty much invisible when she runs. No nonsense and a hard worker. Surprisingly she’s Blistra’s sister, even though their nothing alike. (Same breeding as Blistra but Qute was a few years later). Qute has run a few mid distance races and at least one Iditarod.
blistra
Blistra is a 6 year old Alaskan husky. She is Qute’s sister, from a separate breeding, but a total opposite. Blistra’s is so sweet and easy going. She loves to play fetch and is never far from us. She is the biggest female in the yard, but loves cuddling on the couch and squishing us.
Ranger
Alaskan Husky. Ranger is a 7 year old that came to us from Northern Nevada. He didn’t have much socialization when we got him, so he is very shy. Ranger avoids most people, but is so affectionate to people he knows. He’s always smiling at us and is the happiest guy. His brother Rocket and Ruger are his best doggie friends in the yard.
fiddler
Alaskan Husky. 10 Years old. Fiddler is usually the first dog to greet you when you arrive. His bright blue eyes and unique coloring makes him one of our most recognizable dogs. He’s infamous for loving cuddles and pushing his head into your legs as a way to hug you. He was born at Rohn’s parents’ kennel in 2013, where Rohn raised him. Fiddler ran the Iditarod with Rohn in 2015 and is a steady leader on our team. When he’s not in harness Fiddler loves to cuddle on the couch and spend time alone in his private room (our guest room).
inca
Alaskan Husky. 10 years old. Inca came to Alyssa from Team Warren in Idaho when she was 6 years old. She ran multiple 300 and 200 mile races, in lead for them. Inca is very hard working and if often described as the energizer bunny. Her cute little tail is always waging, and she loves to give kisses, while also nibbling on your chin. Queen of fetch, Inca is the record holder around here for most balls caught and returned. She takes the game very serous and rarely lets anyone beat her at it.
nanook
Alaskan Husky. 6 years old. He came to us in the fall of 2021 from our friends at Sivo Racing Kennel. At around 80 pounds, Nanook is one of the largest dogs in the team. He is also one of the sweetest. Out of harness, Nanook is often cautious and reserved, but when he is in the team, he is all business. He pulls like a freight train, and is a great command leader. Like his namesake the Polar Bear, he often likes to sleep on the snow in the winter instead of in his dog house.
lobo
Lobo! He’s a 12 year old Siberian Husky, and one of the best dogs to ever live. True to his Siberian nature he is full of sass and spunk, but is also very loyal and easy to train. He loves meeting new people when they come to visit us. He expects all attention to be on him, because just look how handsome and cute he is! Lobo’s parents were on Alyssa’s team when she was in her early 20’s. He was the first puppy to be born in his litter and she knew from the day she met him that he was one special dog! When he’s not running in harness Lobo enjoys going on hikes and paddle boarding.
punzel
Siberian Husky. 11 years old. Quiet and reserved, she’s the most introverted of her litter. So that makes her sweet little kisses and cuddles even more special. Punzel works hard in harness and is easy going, never causing any trouble (except for that one time she jumped the fence at dinner time, ran away for two days and about gave me a heart attack). When she’s not in harness her favorite thing to do is chew on bones.
kybur
Mixed Breed. 8 years old. The biggest dog in the yard, which automatically makes guests assume he will be an amazing sled dog. We all get a good laugh when he takes off down the trail, massive tail waving in the air, and his line is completely slack. He’s very gentle and a bit shy, so its pretty special when he comes up to get love.
kavik
2 year old Karelian Bear Dog.
rocket
Occasionally we will adopt out a dog if we feel it can go to a home better suited for them than we are. If you are interested in adopting a recreational or retired sled dog, reach out and we will see if we have a good fit!
6 year old Alaskan Husky. Rocket is full of personality and love. Despite his energy, he has let us know that he’s not a fan of running longer distances. He would do well in an active home and be a great hiking or jogging partner!
hickory
Alaskan Husky, 8 months old. Hickory is always a guest favorite! He is a big ole fluff ball of sweet love. Hickory is sponsored by Dawn and Ben Johnson!
zelda
Siberian Husky. 11 years old. The tiniest dog in the kennel, and also the dog with the biggest heart. Zelda is always happy and always ready to go. I call her my mighty munchkin. She is about 30lbs of pure joy and sass. She is a great leader and does well in any position on the team. When she’s not in harness Zelda loves to play with her mom Porsche, and siblings Diesel, and Punzel. She also loves to play fetch.
porsche
Siberian Husky. Porsche came to Alyssa from a kennel in Ohio back in 2012. Porsche is the matriarch of the kennel, a steady leader, and the sweetest girl. She is the mother of 5 of our other dogs. She’s 13 now and slowing down a little so she doesn’t join us on many runs.
