Hard to find good Handlers these days.

That is what I hear from other mushers, but we are lucky enough to have had some great help this fall. Thanks to the generous help from Uli Stroetz, Thomas Robertson and Sterling Strathe. It has been a hectic fall and the help we have received from these hard working guys has been a real asset to team squid. Thanks so much.

Uli Stroetz is from Germany and is an intern for the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, doing Forestry work. He came to Fairbanks with a goal of seeing real sled dog team and has been running teams with us all fall. He has learned all the fun things that go with running dogs. like bouncing around for hours on a 4 wheeler, scooping poop, walking pups, and organizing poop covered booties. I think he likes riding the sled best.

Thomas Robertson, has been helping out in the shop and with dogs when needed. He has handled for several Iditarod mushers, so we can let him loose with the dogs, but he also has been a big help prepping parts for sleds in the shop. Thomas will be testing some new sled designs this spring that we are working on with his own dogs, so check out his sled if you see him on the trail.

Papa Sterling hung up his spurs and auctioneer outfit for 2 weeks to come help as a handler and sled builder in the shop. He went for a training run his seond day here in the White mountains. We took two teams and the snowmachine out. I ran the race team out to Crowberry and then back to Moose creek to rest. Paige and Dad went straight to moose creek cabin with the yearlings and snowmachine. We had an exciting night of cutting firewood at midnight in order to get the cabin warm as it was -35 and windy.

The next morning Paige left with the race team for a long run and dad and I packed up and headed to the road. Dad experienced one of the natural wonders of living in fairbanks... frosty eyelashes and beards... I didn't want to embarass him with his world record snot sickle picture from later in the day. :)

Back at the truck Lance Mackey and the comeback kennel crew were getting ready for a training run, so I introduced dad to Lance. He got to see what it is like when you hook up 4 teams 16 dogs long of the worlds best distance dogs..... lots and lots of excitement and noise.

The rest of dads trip was spent mostly in the shop, prepping sleds parts and assembling sleds. Dad took over the shop and home responsibilities so that Paige and I could do some longer training runs.. Thanks Again to for all the help!

So race time is fast approaching. We are currently training 13 dogs for the race team. We had a couple dogs we had to drop from the longer runs. Cholula was experiencing some soreness for a while and is now running again with the yearlings. Poncho, had some funny neck spasms, but is back running with the yearlings and Lucy has a bad cough and is undergoing treatment and laying on the couch.. Cody is currently planning to run the Copper Basin 300 on January 8th as long as all dogs are happy and healthy. It is a 12 dog race, so if any more dogs have injuries, it may not happen, but we are optimistic and taking it easy on the dogs. Paige is signed up for the Yukon Quest 300 in February which starts in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada. We will also likely do some spring races so that we can get the yearlings through a race or two before next year... There might be a team in the 1000 mile Yukon Quest and the Kobuk 440 next year, so we want to expose them to as much as possible, but we'll see what happens. We'll keep you posted on the copper basin 300 and have updates here during the next two races.

Follow Squid Acres Teams while on the Trail with SPOT

Dad got us a SPOT tracker for christmas so we can keep track of each other on the long training runs we are doing solo. You can also follow along with the training runs, camping trips and spring expeditions by going to the following page. http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0YTXLnDPoJ0q6eDjMu6ABA8LrkbzpB3QN

Winter is a coming fast..

Winter is finally upon us. Snow is slowly starting to accumulate and we are itching to get off the bumpy, noisey 4 wheeler and onto a smooth, quiet, peaceful ride. The big dogs are looking good, super strong and ecstatic to be out there. The following is a little video from our training run yesterday.

Today with help from our part-time helper Uli, we will start running a larger team 14 - 16 dogs and rotate them around so that each dog runs 2 days and get one day off. It will be great to try out a bunch of new leader combinations. Be sure to check back in December and see what races we have signed up for. These dogs are going to rock this winter.

Pups are doing great. The oldest pups from Lucy and Ruger are more like dogs now and are enjoying romps in the free run pen. Kanuti and Coldfoot are loving the dogwheel and are really opening up like races horses at the kentucky derby. Unfortunately for us, these two are going to Aaron soon, but they are all awesome, so we can't lose. Here is a picture of them trying on their future wardrobe of harnesses.

The medium pups (the mustelids), Fisher, Marten and Sable are free most of the time and help us with all our daily duties and hang in the house most nights with us. They are fitting right in here and they are going to be superstars for sure.

The smallest pups have just started to get out of their house and show some personality. We finally sprung some names on these guys this week and being that I sometimes pretend to be an archaeologist, Paige decided to let me classify the pups after different archeaological traditions from the arctic. We have Ipiutak or "Ippy", Thule, Denbigh, Choris, and Norton. These are all hearty groups of people that knew how to survive in a harsh arctic land so hopefully the pups will live up to their names. Some even used the ancestors of these dogs for travel.

Thanks for checking in.. For family this is the time of the year where you might not be able to find us besides on here... we only come inside to eat and sleep and when we do, there are usually between 3 and 8 dogs in the house with us...

hang in there, i am new at this

So cody usually posts the blogs but since I am somewhat laid up due to a recent back surgery, I have taken on the blog role. However, the last post posted before I put all of the puppy pictures up so here are some more for your viewing pleasure. Here she is at 4 days old compared to her sibling on the same day. Holy canoli batman! She is tiny.

Here is a super dark picture of her tiny self next to her huge brother! His head is almost bigger than her whole body. If you can think of a good name for this pint size creature, let us know!

Well Labor day proved to be very laborious here at squid acres this year. The long awaited puppy babies arrived on labor day with a great job laboring them by Stumpy:) There are three girls and two boys in this litter. One of the girls is super tiny but is full of life so we are sure she will catch up to the others in no time. In the first photo, she is the small brown one next to the big brown one.

One monster hamster wheel

Susie and Don helped us get the dog wheel all finished up today. Yogi, our team mascot black lab was happy to walk on it as long as we gave her a treat every so many seconds. Bleeker needs a little more work and the pups are getting on it and getting the hang of it, I'm sure they'll all be up and running in a week or two. Here is a video of Yogi showing how the wheel works.

Leader gone Frisbee dog

Bleeker, the up and coming all star leader is also an amazing frisbee dog. He catches it every time that I can throw it properly. He goes long and he even knows how to read the wind.. what a dog.. here is a little frisbee video.

Paige's parents are visiting, so we sent Don out on the 4 wheeler with Paige this morning.. he got to see what fall training is all about.

You stay classy San Diego...

Fall Training Camp is open..

Today fall training started at squid acres.. temperatures have finally dipped below 50 at night so early morning runs are now possible before work. This first run was a typical first run with both us and the dogs being a bit unorganized and out of rythm at the start.. Hookup was a little crazy, but as soon as those words, "lets go" hit the air, the old familiar feel was back and the dogs looked great. I forgot the camera for the run, just a bunch of wiggling rear ends anyway.. but here are the dogs after a short jounce through the yellowing birch forest. Tired and happy dogs!

Solo and Bleeker share a sip of water.

We are excited to start another season of running dogs. Squid acres will be running a few mid-distance races this winter so keep posted to see which ones and follow along.

The pups are doing great and getting big at 3 months now.. all sitting and laying down now before their meals. Wiseman even got to go to Eagle, AK with Paige and spent time on the Yukon River at fish camps sampling salmon... you know he is going be an all star with that extra training. here he is on the boat.

Stumpy is due around the beginning of September with a big ole belly hanging low, so we'll have new puppy pics up soon! Thanks for stopping in.

Summer with the Dalton Highway Gang

It has been awhile since our last update. The pups have been named after places on the Dalton Highway or the "Haul Road" as many folks call it. This is the highway that goes from Fairbanks all the way to the Arctic Ocean and oil fields at Prudhoe Bay. It is also the road that we make a pilgrimage on each spring to run dogs on the north side of the Brooks Range and hunt for caribou. So we have the two girls, Kanuti, after the Kanuti River and Atigun, after Atigun Pass, River and Gorge. The boys are Wiseman, for the old mining town, Coldfoot for the truck stop that Dick Mackey started and the start of the old dogsled race the "coldfoot classic" and Galbraith, for Galbraith Lake where we head out from for our mushing/hunting expeditions.

Pups from left to right, Galbraith, Atigun, Kanuti, Wiseman, Coldfoot.

The video shows their energy level when they aren't sleeping. This is the fun time with the pups as we get to take them out for walks and see what they are made of. They seem tough for 14 lb animals and they sure talk the talk and walk the walk. We'll see what they are made mid winter when they get harness broke. These photos show how they take out aggression in the house.. thanks for the puppy toys Su Su!

The pups have graduated from the whelping kennel to the bigger free run pen that attaches to our deck.. They are loving the exploring the large pen with all its trees and vegetation. Momma Lucy is just a visitor now and then and the pups are hanging with some of the other dogs in the pen and learning their place in the squid acres hierarchy.

One more month at least until temperatures will be cool enough to start training with the 4 wheeler.. The dogs are ready and we can't wait to get ready for another season of running dogs. We would like to thank Chef Billy for helping us feed our dogs with fabulous beef stew that makes their summer meals more interesting than dry kibble. Tune in soon for more... Stumpy is pregnant and will be having a litter around memorial day.. check back for fall puppy fun!

pups and pens

Hi Folks, the big news is that Lucy finally popped.. she had her pups! 5 Healthy little bundles of fun. 3 boys and 2 girls. Lucy is super whooped after that and enjoying some rest in the house.
The other dogs are enjoying their new pen. we got the first of two free run pens finished and the dogs have all had their chance to run and pee on all the trees. They are super excited to have this space. Our plan is to rotate dogs through in groups so they can all play and burn some summer time steam. We are working on another large pen and the doggie wheel.. stay tuned for doggie wheel video footage.

Ursa got some r and r after her spay surgery. Thanks Natalie for the sweet bed. this dog is actually huge... the dog bed is even huger..:)

Dog Days of Summer

Things are pretty chill around here as far the dogs go. The days are getting very long and pretty warm. That means that the dogs lay around all day in the sun and get crazy all night when it is cooler. Above Lead Dog Windsor enjoys a rub down in the house... Below, Solo likes the cold tile.

Stout enjoys talking on the phone... We have some big projects for the dog right now. The Squid Acres Dog Park is in construction. We are working on making some large pens so they can run around more and get more exercise and play with each other. We also are working on making a large dog wheel, so they can get in and blow off some steam if they like.. kinda like a doggy gym. These large hamster wheels are used by a lot of top mushers to allow dogs to run at their own pace in the off season. We'll post videos of it when it is up and running.

The month of spring mushing is over.. summer is here.

Well folks Spring came and went quickly this year and provided us with an amazing month of mushing and camping. In the end of March, Cody's dad Sterling came to visit. He got a taste of what our winter was like when on the second day we put him on a sled with his own team and we headed out to Minto Flats for an overnight. We camped out in the flats and then took down our training camp that we had used all winter for race training. Dad can be seen to the left with his 6 dog team. We did about 50 miles in those 2 days. Previous dog experience was about 2 miles with 4 dogs about 2 years ago.. cowboy to musher.. overnight.

We then headed to the White Mountains for a 3 day trip staying at the Colorado Creek Cabin. We took the entire kennel except Stout, who was recuperating from a shoulder injury. Dad ran the same six dog team, Paige Ran the pups and I ran all the rest with the freight sled full of goodies for our time at the cabin. We had a great stay filled with hikes, firewood cutting, good food and drinks and games.

The next day after returning from the whites we had a goofy little event to celebrate our anniversary known as the Old Ridge Retro Rondy where folks dressed up in retro winter clothes and brought their dogs out for a short fun race. What a blast.

The last chapter in our spring of mushing was our annual trip to the north slope of the Brooks Range to test ourselves and dogs in some real wilderness and to find caribou to fill the freezer.

We spent an amazing week exploring areas of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Gates of the Arctic National Preserve. There is nothing quite like a day of watching your team in awe as they break trail through shoulder deep snow for miles, nothing like gliding along a river with dall sheep on the cliffs above, nothing like paralelling a lone wolf for several miles on the open tundra and then hearing the entire valley go off with howls and nothing like the feeling of providing for the family with fresh caribou meat...This is what we live for.. spending time in the wilderness living with our dogs...... can't wait until next fall when we can do it all again.

Thanks for watching during the 2009 - 2010 mushing season. Stay tuned this summer for the arrival of our new team member puppies from Stumpy and Lucy.

Dinner Guests the Old Alaskan Way!

The great thing about living in the Fairbanks area is that there are trails virtually everywhere. We often run the dogs to local bars and other peoples houses for visits. Last night our friends Nita and Josh came by with a 10 dog team for dinner. One of the pups that we raised "Chaos" is now part of their team and looking like she fits right in. It is only about 12 miles or so by dogsled, but at least 45 by car... an hour drive or an hour dogsled ride... dogsled is an easy choice. here is a video of them leaving after dinner.

the aftermath

Sunday was a day for the athletes to relax. The dogs were filtered though the house in groups of 4 -5 at at time to get massages and get the complete checkup for injuries. A few stiff puppies, but everyone seemed happy to roll around togeher in the warm house. I looked worse than the dogs as you can see...

Pictures from the checkpoints

The race went great. thanks to all the volunteers that made this possible. The trail was marked perfectly, the businesses running checkpoints were super helpful and the mushers were happy and fun to compete with. thanks to all involved!

Our race went something like this.... we'll see if I can remember the details.

We started on Friday from the Chatanika Lodge on the Steese Highway at 12:24 pm. From there we wound around the Cleary summit area, home to the Aurora Skiland, "the farthest north ski area". The team had to climb over severeal major hills and domes here in the 2000 eleveation range, with the sun beating down on us, it was a bit slow, but the views were amazing. We ran for about 55 miles which was the halfway point to the first checkpoint and then stopped at sunset for a 4 hour rest. The dogs ate well and got a nap. At this point we were in almost last place as we started back there. at 10 pm I pulled the hook and with the cool night temps approaching -25 F we flew towards angel creek. Along the way passed 7 - 8 teams camping. We pulled into the Pleasant Valley Store Checkpoint around 4 am and I was a little frozen and very tired. The dogs were taken care of and bedded down and I headed into the store stock room for a one hour nap... its amazing that one hour can change a tired grumpy man into one that is ready to race again.

Cody after a one hour nap and getting ready to head out for the next leg. Trying to remember what I need from my drop bags? Any snickers in there?

The next run was also slow in the heat of day, but spectacular views of the Chena River Valley. We rolled into Angel Creek around 3 pm and stayed for our 3 hour layover

Several teams all rolled into Angel Creek within in an hour of each other and we all had either 3 or 4 hours of mandatory time to stay there. It was clear that whomever left first would probably get to the finish in fifth place.... just forgot that one musher had done all her time at the last checkpoint and ran straight through while I was in the bar eating a burger. When it was our time to check out, we pulled the hook and tried our best to catch that musher to get into the last payin position of fifth, instead we came in about a half hour behind at 12:01 am and got sixth.... which was awesome. the dogs did great once again and we are thrilled with their finish. The leaders of the race didn't camp on the first run and were about 6 hours ahead of me in the end. The difference between first and second place turned out to be just seconds. What fun!

Thanks to my devoted fans.. I won't embarass all two of you, you know who you were, for coming out and supporting team squid. I think they got more photos of the dogs actually moving, Paige was busy doing her job of handling and couldn't get any of those, so will post them later as they come in..

And he's home

We'll we did it! We rolled into the finish at 12:01 am this morning and clinched 6th place. The dogs did amazing despite hot day time temps in the sun.. the minus 20 temps at night made them run faster then. Was an amazing trip with some amazing bluebird views from the trail and great company along the way from a great group of mushers. Well I'm delirious and headed back to bed for a nap. Handler Paige has some photos she is going to put up later.. thanks for stopping in.
cody and the team.

And he's off!

Cody left the starting line at 12:26pm will 11 dogs raring to go. They looked great leaving, unfortunately this lame handler forgot the camera:( so you will just have to take my word for it. I will get pictures the rest of the way and will hopefully be able to post while on the trail. GO CODY and TEAM SQUID!

Bib draw Two Rivers 200!

We just got back from the bib draw for the next addition in the Squid Acres racing season. This time Cody is racing and he drew bib number 12. He will be at the starting line with 11 dogs. The line up will be....Windsor, Okie, Bleeker, TJ Maxx, Dundee, Mikey, Dozer, Poncho Ramirez ( we are not really sure how to spell his last name:) he is from mexico)) Berry, Goober and last but not least Lucy. Lucy is still aquestion mark though because she just came into heat today and Cody is a little bit leary of bringing her along. But I think she will be an asset if she does go along. The race starts at 12 noon. The first checkpoint is 105 miles from the start so we don't expect to see Cody until 2-5 am on Saturday. The trail report sounds good, there is some overflow and lots of hills but overall it sounds good. There are 13 mushers signed up for the 200. We are excited to get back out on the trail! I will try to keep you updated along the race. GO CODY and team SQUID!!

Two Rivers 200 Website

Cody and the Dogs

whats happening?

Hi Friends and Family,

Things are still good around here. Paige has gone back to work and now Cody has taken overwith the race team. It has been extremely warm around here, which makes running dogs difficult. We have been getting the dogs out for some good runs in the White Mountains, Minto Flats and around our valley. Some pics from the whites..

Cody will be running the Chatanika 200 race starting March 12th at noon. This race goes from the Chatanika lodge out towards Chena Hot Springs and then back to Pleasant Valley Store in Two Rivers, AK. The dogs look good and Cody is excited. You can follow at http://www.trdma.org/ and click on the events and chatanika 200 links. Paige will be handling and may have access to update blog so check in if you have a chance.

Here is a video of a fellow mushers run over eagle summit. Page 74 Paige went over in the dark so had no video to share.

5th Place Finish!

Paige is in! The team rolled in at 10:45 am AK time looking good! Cain came in around 9:30 so Paige has Clinched 5th place. Good job. Now it is time to get the team home and rest. Check back later for stories from Paige. thanks.

Circle City Chef fuels Paiges fire.

Here is a story about the chef at the Circle City Checkpoint. I don't think 5 minutes went by without her asking if I wanted another burger... for 7 hours straight.. She shoved a double cheeseburger in Paige's hands and well, she had to eat it.. The volunteers in these communities are amazing and make this race so much fun. Thanks to all of them. Read here about the circle city chef... Yukon Quest

Who will come in first?

Sean Williams came in to the finish in Central in 3rd. Congrats! Cain left Circle a few minutes before Paige around midnight. They both had a 9 hour run into Circle. If they both have a similar run back, then we will have 4th and 5th place finishers in around 9 am. Check the Yukon Quest Facebook Page for more up - to - date info than the actual website. If you like following this race but thought that the official quest website was poorly done, please let the Yukon Quest know so it will be better in the future.

Paige in Circle City Checkpoint .. for now anyway :)

What a run folks. Paige and the pups did a 74 mile run from Central to Circle and got in just at dark around 6 pm. The run took her approximately 9 hours and the dogs were super happy and waggy. This stretch of trail followed Birch Creek for the entire route and was a fast nice trail all the way in. A few miles outside Circle she had great head on Passes with Sven who was already headed back towards Central. She dropped her Ipod that keeps her boogieing somewhere on the river so she put Sven on the task to find it on his way into his first place finish. A couple more miles down the trail she had another great head on pass with Magnus and gave him a high five and told him to catch Sven. Paige said the dogs have stepped it up a level and at this point she wishes she was signed up for the 1000 mile race and continuing down the Yukon River. Instead she'll get the dogs up around midnight and head back the 74 miles to Central to the finish line. Sven has just finished in first place and Magnus is expected in second. Way to go guys. Sean Williams left about an hour ago and is likely to get third although he has a broken runner and has been suffering on it since mile 101. The race is now on for 4th place. Cain came in 1 hour and 25 minutes before Paige, putting him currently in 4th. Throughout this race they have been moving at the same pace.. If that trend continues the 4th place finish will go to whomever leaves first.... who will it be? Lets hope it is Paige.

The race has been going great. All 4 teams in front of her come from Large Iditarod Racing Kennels. If Squid Acres can hang right behind with this low level of experience than good things are to come.

As for the rest of the 300 mushers, Harvey is on his way and due in Circle soon and Mike King and Travis I believe are still in Central for their mandatory layover. Check back around 9 am alaska time tommorow to see if Paige has finished and find out what place.

Central Checkpoint

Hi all, Paige and the pups rolled in in 5th place to Central last night about midnight after a succesful run over Eagle Summit. Sounds like the trail over the summit was great. In past years some bad things have happened to folks up there, but this year the conditions on the down side were awesome and everyone had a good run. Trail was a bit rough from the base of Eagle to Central, but the dogs came in looking like they could have continued forever. Paige had to stay for a mandatory 6 hour layover and decided to give the dogs a little extra rest.

The dogs were camped out in the park in Central and Paige was able to catch some sleep in the tight little musher cabin... she was lucky as the truck was mighty cold for this handler.

She pulled out around 8 am for her 75 mile run to Circle. At Circle she will rest the dogs and head on back to Central for the finish. Paige should be into Circle sometime around 4 or 5 pm this afternoon. Check back to see how she is doing.

Paige on the Quest Website

Here is a story about Paige on the Yukon Quest website.. enjoy.

Mile 101 Checkpoint

Paige rolled into Mile 101 at 1:24 pm today in 5th place with a strong and happy team. Turned out she didn't wake up to her alarm this morning and woke up to two teams passing her.. she would have been here earlier if she had, but no big deal. The run over from Twin bears was great with a good sunny run over rosebud summit. the only hitch was that she did have one little swim as all mushers have experienced before Rosebud, but she is smiling here now eating bacon with her clothes drying by a wood stove. The dogs will get some good rest here before heading over Eagle later this afternoon.. tune in later for more.

I just added a few photos from the checkpoint. sorry they were late.

5th into Twin Bears 4th out.

Paige did her first 54 miles and rolled into Twin Bears around 10 pm. She came in in 5th place behind Sean, Magnus, Sven, and Cain. The dogs were happy and ready to move on, so she pulled a few bags of dog snacks and meat for the next leg. Strapped on a big bale of straw and headed off into the darkness to find a camping spot somewhere closer to Rosebud summit. The team will attack that mighty mountain in the early morning on her way to the next checkpoint called "Mile 101" another 68 miles down the trail. I led the team off to the outrail, got a quick kiss from my lovely lady and she left in 4th place as someone who came in before her stayed at the checkpoint. I ran home to get more supplies, take a nap and then I will head up to Mile 101. She should be into Mile 101 around noon tommorow. Check back to see how it is going. I may not have internet until sometime Sunday night if at all.. so check the quest 300 site for updates.. it is currently not updated.

And Their Off!

Well folks, the race start went well without a hitch.. At 5:02 Paige started her first 300 mile race. Thanks to Tom Ruskowski, Natalie Monacci and Steve Martz who were Paige's extra special handler helpers at the start and thanks to all those who stopped by to wish her good luck.... and thanks to Lisa's extra good countdown.. ;) And I heard a rumor that there were nice folks on the trail handing off beverages and flashing humorous parts of their body.. these people are what make this all possible... thanks all. You can see some photos from the start from Tom's Picasa site. Link below.

Happy Trails To Paige and the Pups! YQ300 Starts Saturday!

Training has conitinued this week and Paige had to make final decisions on the 12 dogs she would run in this race. It is a bummer for us to have to leave dogs home that have been training so hard all season, but they will get their turn later this spring in other races with Cody. All the dogs are so dialed in now and are like a well oiled machine. You can see how calm they are at hook up. They just sit and wait for all the dogs to get hooked up and bootied. Once We put on our coats, the dogs get the picture and go nuts like the video from the last posting.

This week was full of gear maintenance, careful packing, and dog care as always. Paige can be seen below changing her runner plastic and drying her harnesses out for the big day.

Thursday night was what they call "Meet the Mushers" where the public comes to meet all the mushers from the 300 and 1000 mile races. This is where Paige drew her starting position for the race. She drew the second starting position and will be leaving the starting block at 5:02 pm Alaskan time Saturday.

The final Roster and their positions for this race is as follows;

Lucy (leader)

Stout (leader)

Okie (leader)

Bleeker (leader)

Valley (swing, team, leader)

Poncho Ramirez (swing, team, leader)

TJ Maxx (Swing, team)

Donald (team)

Dozer (team, wheel)

Dundeer (team, wheel)

Berry (team, wheel)

Goober (team, wheel)

I will update with photos after the start and will attempt to update along the course of the race, but do not know if I will have internet access. For up to date race results please follow the Yukon Quest 300 website. Thanks for tuning in!
