Family-owned and operated since 1976, Trail Breaker Kennel is one of the longest operating kennels in Alaska. The kennel was founded in Eureka, Alaska, by the late Susan Butcher, a four-time Iditarod champion, and David Monson, her husband and Yukon Quest champion.
This activity allows visitors to step inside our historic kennel, meet our mushers and huskies, and learn about the sport of mushing. Located 10 minutes from downtown, this conveniently located kennel provides easy access to the Alaskan wilderness.

5.00Katerina was the best guide and wonderful host, she provided us with hot coffee for our run with the dogs and let us take pictures and pet and love on the animals, she is a sweet lady and takes care of 48 dogs pretty much by herself and knows all of their names on the spot so she’s a good dog mom! We loved it!!
Terrific Experience

5.00Anna Marie was extremely knowledgeable and welcomed any and all questions regarding the dogs or dogsledding. The 4 mile cart trip was awesome as Anna Marie spoke with the dogs and explained what she was doing during the trip. Being able to meet and pet the dogs afterwards was great! Highly recommend this trip if you are in the Fairbanks area.
Good experience

5.00It was a really cool experience. The tour lady was very friendly and attentive. The dogs were really friendly as well. The only downfall was that when I booked I do not recall seeing anywhere that if the snow on the ground was not enough, that we would not be able to ride the sled. Instead we rode a gas powered four wheeler and dogs helped pulled. The dogs listen very well to all the instructor's commands. Overall, it was a unique experience. I would use this company again except I would call first to make sure I am able to ride the actual sled.
