  • How Swanny got started in mushing
  • Tell us about your kennel and dogs?
  • I know you are interested in mushing history. Do you have a story or two to share?

Favorite Quote:

“A good dog is so much a nobler beast than an indifferent man that one sometimes gladly exchanges the society of one for that of the other.” William Francis Butler
