Dougette has officially retired and is enjoying the easier pace in our house along with her sister Meghan. She likes to visit the dog yard and tell her kids and grandkids who is still boss!
In these busy times it is nice to be able to offer people an experience that is “unplugged” away from phones, news and a chance to connect to nature. The dogs are always happy, don’t judge and don’t care what day of the week it is!
We are happy to be starting our 30th winter guiding dogsledding trips! We have many repeat clients and are now guiding their kids and sometimes grandkids!
Our winter apprenticeship is still available for someone who would like to learn how to mush dogs, a traditional style of winter camping, meet many nice people and spend much of your time outside!
Here is a video about us here at Mahoosuc to give you a birds eye view of who we are, hope you enjoy it.
Polly, Kevin & all the doggies

Siobhan went to doggy heaven today. She was one of Kevin’s dogs and always up for anything. She loved people and children and whenever anyone came to visit the kennel she always thought they came to see her! She ran in any position in the team and was versatile sometimes going with Polly’s teams if […]
Polly, I just wanted to write you a note to thank you again for a wonderful and memorable experience on the Allagash. It was so much fun! I was impressed with your knowledge of the river, technical skills and ability to manage everything, including transportation, canoes, campsites, food and helping all of us have a good time. I was sorry that we didn’t give you the floor more of the time because your stories were so cool and I could tell you were just scratching the surface. Your guiding was great and there’s nothing I can think of for how you could have done it any better.
