The Message is Simple

Children can accomplish anything with dedication and hard work.. Goals may differ but the equation remains the same One must "Believe in order to Achive".   

             Dedication + Hard work +

     Belief in oneself = Goal Achievement.

The value of this sport teaches children responsibility and dedication, two critical elements in "SUCCESS". Proper Care and training of sled dogs enabling them to race, brings out this point very clearly. Not only does Dog Sled Racing teach sportsmanship, teamwork, dedication, and responsibility it offers self satisfaction and a sense of pride.

 Hello, my name is Jasper; I am resident leader of Northwind Kennels and the former leader of one of the fastest sled dog sprint teams in the Midwest.  Besides racing I also spend my time, along with my friends, visiting school children and teaching them about myself and my friends and what it is like to be a sled dog. This gives the children the opportunity to experience and learn about this sport and dogs like myself. I also have an important message to give to the children and it is simple: "Believe in order to Achieve." The interesting part of this true story  (click here for story) is that it was said that I would never run again after being hit by a truck.  I went through six months of therapy and hard work so that I could do what I love best: "To Run and be a Part of the Team.  I had to Believe in order to Achieve."
