WHO WE ARE
Experience Sled Dogs was founded by musher/enthusiast Joe Fessler of Minnesota who
has owned and operated a kennel of pure-bred Siberian Huskies since 2006. Starting as a skijorer
with one dog, he quickly began participating in a variety of activities related to sled dogs, increasing
his experience, the size of his team, and his involvement in the community. Currently, Joe and his five
huskies, Aiya, Brr!, Lupie, Gannon, and Lukka reside in the Twin Cities area, where they train, race,
learn, educate, and share their experiences!
OUR MISSION
Leverage the sled dog experience to provide educational opportunities
Educate the public about the animals, the community, and the culture associated with working sled dogs
Promote humane treatment of sled dogs, good stewardship of parks and trail systems, and environmental responsibility
Provide unforgettable sled dog experiences
