About Me

Hi! My name is Black Bear, and I am a retired sled dog. I was born in Eagle, Alaska and raised by Bush Alaska Expeditions. I was a lead dog in the 2009 Yukon Quest,

so I have a passion for running...especially in the snow!

When I'm not running or sleeping, I go around and give presentations to teach children and adults what it's like to be a sled dog. I have some people who come along to help me interpret and carry things. They also help me find good homes for my sled dog friends when they retire. Here is more information about what they do:

She's got a strong prey drive though, so she'd benefit from obedience training. She was raised with other dogs but doesn't seem to be a fan of her exuberant foster husky brother.

Even though I am retired, I still love to run several times a week. When out on a run, creek beds are so cool and refreshing. I like to lay down in the middle of a creek to take a break on warm days. I get so excited when it snows. I love running and playing in the snow.
When I was in Alaska,I used to howl with contentment under the light of the moon after eating dinner. I don't do that now that I live in Virginia. I was a lead, swing and team dog. Black Bear is spayed .
