Kutuk

pKutuk and his litter mates are named after lakes, rivers and mountains from the area in the Brooks Range where they were conceived.  Every Spring a handful of Wild and Free dogs spend a month pulling guests around at the Iniakuk Wilderness Lodge with my good friends Thom and John.  This year we breed Manley, a past Wild and Free athlete now living with Thom, with Morello, one of our current super stars who is following in her dad Basin’s footsteps.   This breeding combines some amazing genetics that have proven their worth over the years.  Kutuk is a happy, energetic and very talkative guy (just like his parents) and we enjoy having him around. During his second season in a harness Kutuk made the main race team and ran/finished the Yukon Quest with the rest of the champion team. Kutuk was a part of the Iditarod teams in both 2020 and the 3rd place 2021 finish! In the 2022 season Kutuk was a part of the team for three FIRST place finishes including the Iditarod Chamionship! In 2023, he ran in the Apline Creek Excursion, Cb300 and Yukon Quest 550! We are incredibly proud of this guy, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for him!
