Apparently a lot of negative comments appear to be based on people unfamiliar with dogsledding dogs...some points... The chains..."The main benefit of the chain system is that when the dogs live on chains, they learn how to untangle themselves very easily. This is very important for the development of the young dogs since they then have less risk of seriously injuring themselves if they become tangled in the lines when running. This is particularly important for the darkest months of the year (December and January) and for whenever the dogs are running in Northern Lights Safaris since it is hard for clients to judge when to break to give the dogs a chance to untangle themselves in the dark. Hence, the dogs have to be able to sort themselves out quickly and not rely on their musher to avoid injury.". Quoted from a dogsledding racing team. And yes, they need to be able to untangle themselves whether it is light or dark out. The small dog shelters are easier for them to heat vs. big fancy dog houses. Also most of these dogs can stand up to -30c temp some down to -40c. They need to be outside in order to develop the super thick coat to keep them warm when they run/race. The dogs yelp, howl and get excited when the mushers come because they want to be hitched to run. They are WORKING dogs not couch potatoes. We've been dogsledding in northern Quebec where the temp without windchill was -40c and the dogs were eager to run. The comments where people are saying they preferred to socialize with the dogs...I'm surprised the owners let them. At the place in northern Quebec all visitors were specifically told NOT to pet any of the dogs. Believe me this was a huge learning curve for me because I wanted to cuddle them all but once we researched it and it was properly explained to us we realized it was for their benefit and to avoid injury.

If there was the option of a zero, this place would get it!! Just saw on the news that the OSPCA have been to this place. The conditions they keep the dogs in is disgusting. Freezing cold temps and they are outside. Chained. Running in their feces and urine. If this is how the dogs are treated I feel sick to my stomach for the horse's. DO NOT support this place!

I would never go back to this terrible place! They are animal abusers and deserve to be mistreated as badly as they treat their dogs.

Animal abuse at its finest. Ask to see where they keep the dogs and if they ever get shelter. Would never give them a dime.

These poor dogs are abused and in poor health. This place should be shut down!
