    Description

    We are a racing and touring sled dog kennel. We do long distance racing and offer tours to people all around the world. We have 65 sled dogs and 2 horses, and live in 40 acres in the Southern Yukon. We are looking for extra help in the summer months to get the jobs done we do not have time for. We need help painting dog houses, gardening, firewood and other tasks. Accommodation is provided and a hourly wage is provided. This is needed at about 20-30 hours a week.
