Mushing
VerifiedMagazine
Mushing Magazine was started by Todd and Carey Brink of Ester, Alaska in 1988. In 2006, Greg Sellentin merged Mushing Magazine with his fledgling publication- Sled Dog Sports magazine. Greg grew Mushing Magazine, over his 10 years as publisher, and Mushing Magazine still continues to be the most comprehensive and most read magazine in our sport. After mentoring current owner and upcoming musher Jacob Witkop, and current publisher Rose Hewitt, Mushing Magazine returned to interior Alaska when Jacob Witkop and his brother Robbie Witkop purchased Mushing Magazine in April of 2015.
Jacob and Robbie's goal, along with publisher and designer, Rose Hewitt, is to capture the inherent beauty and adventure of sled dogs and mushing through stories, exclusive interviews, grasping pictures, dog talk, and more.
Our team feels they can publish a magazine that is entertaining, informative, and visually appealing- a magazine that mushers and enthusiasts can and will look forward to reading for years to come. Source

The Quick Canine Musculoskeletal Exam

Watching the fluidity and smoothness of a moving dog (watching how it gaits) is usually one of the first ways that a musculoskeletal issue is identified. However, localizing the problem from there can be a challenge, even for the best veterinarian, musher or handler.

Matt Hall and the Smokin’ Aces
A three-mile long sideroad snakes through the birch and spruce forest off the Chena Hot Springs Road, about an hour out of Fairbanks, Alaska. Three miles – that’s easy-peasy on a nice fall day, but I imagined the herculean effort it takes to keep the road open in the wintertime.

Famous Feet: Reef of Dallas Seavey's Kennel
“When I first picked up the wiggling newborn in June 2011 the only remarkable thing about him was the abundance of energy that seemed to course through him and spark from every limb. As all mushers do in those first moments holding a newborn, I wondered what he might become. It was a given that he would be a close friend and companion whom I would spend countless hours understanding and working with to develop and release his greatest potential. That much is true of any dog born in the kennel.
