Will Asha prove Rottweillors are the fastest Pet dogs out there? Will we see a resurection of the Baby Jesus in hte one sled god? Will Running Man Bill Stewart strap on his harness and launch Tycho in the Canicross, or will he stay home with an old black and white movie, reminiscing about when he was a really fast runner......who knows? who cares? get your harnesses out to FAST DOGS Kennel, Sean Fitzgerald's unique Irish style kennel at (approx) km 4, Old Alaska Highway Haines Junction - driving from Whitehorse, turn left just after the montrous plastic muffin.
This is the Yukon Brewing Race Day, providing excellent beers as prizes. Also contributing are Aurora Booties with dog jackets, booties, and collars.
This is the last wheeled race before the snow flies (ok, if it's still there and deep enough wheel put the bikes and scooters in storage and get out the sleds and skis - and no metal edges!)
YUKON BREWING COPPER HAUL TWISTER LEAGUE
WE'RE BACK! all Sponsors have returned, so the 6 race day League based out of ICY WATERS LTD (buy their Arctic Charr - it has the highest Omega-3 levels and really high Vitamin D levels, it's tasty and good for you - an unheard of combination).
YUKON BREWING are sponsoring the three leagues to the tune of a lot of money. Buy their beer, it hasn't been hauled up the highway, spewing out greenhouse gases and gobbling up fossil fuels - and it really is a good brew - don't believe me? Then come out to haines Junction on the 20th and race (or walk your dog for a mile, on past turnouts you are going to win a prize) and try it for yourself.
SPORTEES, your local producer of all the trendy, warm, mushing, skijoring, and active outdoor or indoor gear you'll need - winter or summer.
DUFFY'S PETS AND TANZILLA HARNESS SUPPLY, all your dog sports needs under one roof! Equipment, food, even live food to keep your huskies occupied between races (that's what hamsters are for, isn't it? release one in the dog yard and watch the fun! - WARNING: do not try this at home: Hamsters are for life, not for 27 seconds in the dog yard). Anyway, Duffy's also supply many pets, including tropical fish, reptiles, birds, and all the equipment and food, (live or otherwise) you need to keep them happy and healthy.
OSCARS ELECTRIC - no job too small, from installation to tool repair, John and his crew can put the spark back into your equipment. Oscar's can fit, connect and install any electrical equipment, industrial or domestic.
ALPINE VET - Dogs, cats, large and small animals, with 24 hour call-out, the recently expanded staff at AZlpine Vet will respond 24/7 to any animal health problem; also purveyors of dog and cat foods.
H. COYNE AND SONS - Gravel, Sand, Rock, from a half load to a delivery fleet, Coyne's can handle it, also experts in any form of drilling and mining exploration.
ICY WATERS LTD - Fresh and frozen Arctic Charr, in fillets or whole fish, for sale directly from the farm gate. What you buy in the afternoon was swimming that morning - it's that fresh!
All those local companies are supporting our local sport - without them, we wouldn't have this race, so buy their stuff, if for no other reason than it really is good gear!
