Who We Are

Elijah & Bri

“I have a passion for all things outdoors and sporting dogs. I grew up training Labrador Retrievers with my father back home in Montana. He instilled in me the love for hunting dogs and showed me the potential that is there just under the surface, waiting to be unlocked. Being located in Alaska, I love nothing more than to take my companions with me into the backcountry. Whether it’s in search of the many upland bird species in the state, hunting big game such as moose, caribou, and bear, or a leisure hike through the woods, I need a truly versatile dog at my side. I love the bond you can create with these dogs and the eagerness they show when completing tasks that I have helped them understand. These 4-legged friends have helped me through many points in my life, and I intend to help them in theirs as much as I can

My partner Bri is an essential asset in this business. She is strict with a no nonsense policy, she’s the head of our lost and found department as well as the kennel hygiene program, but most importantly she truly loves and cares about each and every dog we have in the kennel. She treats every pack member like family while holding everyone accountable at the same time.”
