My family and I live in a remote area of Alaska, beyond roads and powerlines. The Yukon River is the path to our doorway, 6 miles downriver from the small community of Eagle, pop around 175.

During the summer we garden, catch fish and travel back and forth via canoe and boat on the river. In the winter we travel via our dogs. We live a subisitence lifestyle, basically meaning a lifestyle from the land. We grow our own veggies, shoot our own meat, haul our water and cut our own firewood in one of the last wilderness areas around.

Our dogs are raised as part of a happy family and during the summer get to free run and enjoy a vacation of sorts and during the winter they work for us.

They are raised with love and plenty of attention and each and everyone of them would make a marvelous pet and we often retire our dogs as individual pets to other families.

It is a 1000 mile round trip over 3 mountain summits and a hundred miles of gravel road to the grocery store. And then everything is loaded onto a boat, taken the 6 miles downriver and transfered to a trailer pulled by a 4 wheeler for the last leg of the trip. So 2 or 3 trips are made each summer stocking up on supplies.

There are many pictures of our dogs and homestead on our web site bushalaskaexpeditions.com
