How did your dogs get their names?/ How do you choose names?

We name them in themes - this year's team has the "grandparents litter" for example (George, Myrtle, Camilla and Irene).

Why did you enter the Yukon Quest? What are your goals for the race?

I really missed racing last year. I'm hoping to give these young dogs a good experience and do the best we can
