My 85 year-old mother and I went on this tour as an add-on to our HAL CruiseTour in July 2011. I left my camera, thinking it's "just dogs" and nothing I would want a picture of...BIG MISTAKE! You get to see the whole process of how dog sledding works - from sled basics to watching the dogs get a summer... More

We booked the tour not knowing much about the iditarod. When we left, we couldn't wait until next year's race to follow! Jeff King and his crew are wonderful and love their dogs. They make you want a whole team of your own. His presentation was full of facts, humor, care, humor, feeling, humor, interest, humor, and did I say... More

Husky Homestead was a highlight of our Alaskan trip. Jeff has a great group of folks that are passionate about the dogs. Alot of pride, love, and care for the animals was apparent. Jeff's place is gorgeous and the setting unbelievably breathtaking. We're fans of dog sledding now, and enjoy keeping up with the Ididerod and Yukon Quest. Loved cuddling... More

While we were in Denali, we met a couple that raved about Jeff Kings kennel tour and highly recommended it. We had not planned on going and our schedule was already pre-established and we were not sure we wanted to change it. But, our family loves dogs and I am a big iditarod fan. So, after a family meeting, we... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit with Jeff King and the Husky Homestead. My wife got the whiny puppy. Jeff really makes you feel at home. We are new dog sled fans thanks to Jeff. More

This was the best part of the trip. It was very interactive. Holding the puppies put a true smile on our face. The picture they took of me and my mother was the best ever. Our smiles were natural (because we were holding the puppies). I had a blanket made from the picture. Jeff was down to earth in explaining... More

The experience was interesting. The people were friendly and informative. They picked us up and returned us to our lodgings. It was interesting to learn about the dogs and see them in action. We were able to have pictures taken with the pups. We enjoyed ourselves very much. We learned a lot about the Iditarod trail and the race, and... More

We have been to Alaska 4 times and this was the best part of our last trip. Of course I loved the puppies and being able to hold them. Also loved hearing how the dogs are named and seeing the demo of them run. It was great to meet Jeff King -- he is the best. More
