Alaska sled dogs - more information

Mary Shields and some Alaska dogs


Come and meet Mary's team of big waggly huskies. Pet them and take keepsake photos. Laugh at them playing together as they romp in the dog yard. Mary will tell you about the husky breed and about some of her training techniques.



Mary's garden and view of house.

Stroll through Mary's garden. Then, while relaxing and enjoying light refreshments in her sunny log cabin home, learn about her experiences racing, mushing, and living in Alaska as she shares the small wonders, simple gifts, and joys of her adventurous life.

Mary Shields and her Alska sled dog team of Huskys

Mary was the first woman to finish the 1,049 mile Iditarod Sled Dog Race. In international racing, she and her team ran in the Yukon Quest and the Hope Race from Alaska to Siberia. But even more than competition, Mary enjoys the pure pleasure of long Spring trips with her dogs, exploring the wild country of Alaska and meeting the people who live in the "bush" communities of Alaska.

Mary's five books and a televised (PBS) featured video will be available, and there will be time for her to write a personal inscription for yourself or as a special gift to take home.
