Buddy & Terry Streeper
Mushers
Streeper Kennels | Fort Nelson, Canada
Work hard, think smart and be honest with yourself. Anything is possible with the right mindset.
I [Buddy] was born into the sport, as my father Terry Streeper has been racing for over 35 years. At age 18, I decided that I wanted to work to become the most succeseful sled dog racing kennel in the world.
Our kennel consists of 150 dogs: 50 puppies (raised each summer), 50 yearlings and 50 adult race dogs. As a professionally-minded kennel, we breed and raise our dogs with the goal of improving our team and kennel. Each summer we have between 5 to 10 litters of puppies. We breed husky and pointer crosses because of their speed and endurance. We have 10 acres of property with access to 20 miles of trails.
