It's official! 

We are going to Iditarod 2009!

Who are we?

     Thank you for visiting our site. My name is Tom Thurston, my wife Tami, two daughters, Greta and Leona and I operate Double T Kennel.  We have a kennel of 36 Alaskan huskies, 4 breeding females and 32 race dogs. Half of the kennel consits of yearlings.  We have been training sled dogs for seven years, but not until 2006 did we start racing.  We first invested in top-notch dogs from Iditarod and stage racing champions Doug Swingley and Melanie Shrilla.  We then began to polish our distance training techniques.  In 2004 we developed a five-year plan which included becoming a top three competitor in the 300 to 500 mile races in both the US and Canada and in 2009 enter The Last Great Race, The Iditarod, with a yearling team. 

2007/08 Racing Season

    We are proud to say that this past year has been a big success.  Although it had its difficult moments it all came together when necessary and we finished the season with two victories, a Sportsmanship Award and a Best Cared For Dog Team Award.  This was a season of confirmation for us. We are ready to try the big one.

08/09 Sponsors, those who help make a dream become reality.

Without the help of others we would be unable to succeed. We appreciate all of our current sponsors support and would like to give a special thanks to Gerneral Physics corp for really stepping up to the plate and covering our Iditarod entry fee and travel cost to and from Alaska.
