Team NorthWapiti Finishes The 2008 Iditarod!!
12 Days, 6 Hrs, 52 Mins, 58 Sec

"Have you broken trail on snowshoes? Mushed your huskies up the river, Dared the unknown, led the way, and clutched the prize?"
- Robert Service

Welcome to North Wapiti Kennels. We are located in the beautiful Tawatinaw River Valley, near Perryvale, Alberta, Canada.

Our Siberian Huskies are competitive in many different arenas – most notably, in racing and conformation. We are very proud to be the only Siberian Husky kennel in Canada to have attempted and completed the grueling 1151-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.

North Wapiti Kennels has successfully completed the 1000+ mile Iditarod Sled Dog race in 2001, 2004, 2006 and 2008 using only purebred Siberian Huskies. The North Wapiti team finished the 2001 race with more dogs than any other Iditarod 2001 team, being the only team to finish with 15 of the 16 dogs that started the race. During the 2008 race the team was able to better their personal best finish time by a few hours. Their finish time was the third fastest in Iditarod history for a purebred Siberian Husky team.
