Howling Husky Homestead in Homer, Kenai Peninsula, United States | Tours and Safaris

Come to Howling Husky Homestead, surrounded by mountaintops and glistening glaciers, to explore dog mushing, the history of sled dogs, and homestead living. During this small, intimate tour, you'll see the difference between traditional freight - style huskies, Siberians, and super-fast husky-hound crosses. Our tour of the dog barn will show you how dogsleds, harnesses, and equipment has advanced with new technology and why traditional arctic clothing such as polar bear ruffs and mukluks are still the first choice in severe weather. From the lead dog to the wheel dog, you will learn about each position in a dog team, how we train the team before the snow flies, what the dogs eat, and much more about these amazing canine athletes.
