Many thanks for the WONDERFUL program you did last night for the Holderness Central School’s third grade boys! They were enthralled by your presentation and I know they enjoyed the hands-on aspect of being able to touch the equipment and your DOGS! It was very educational and inspiring – many of “us women” are now dreaming of become mushers! I’ll have to practice with my chocolate lab.

My wife and I had the opportunity last evening to take a dog sled excursion with Valley Dogz in Waterville Valley, NH. It was wonderful. We arrived early to get to visit with the dogs and take a few pictures. Richard and Lydia, our sled drivers and owners, were delightful hosts, explaining the ins and outs of driving dog sleds. Almost as much fun as the sled ride was observing the enthusiasm of all of the dogs to get going as they were put in the harness. We had two sleds with six dogs per sled. We were amazed at how fast those dogs could pull the sleds. Needless to say the ride was exhilarating, as we skimmed over the snow in the twilight enjoying the views of the mountains that surround the Valley.
My husband and I didn't know what to expect - as we are HUGE dog lovers - would this be ok for them?? Well - it seemed they loved it as much as we did !! We got to hang out with them before and after the sled ride and it was magical....Richard and Lidia take such good care of the dogs - and their customers! They took us on a moonlit and starry ride around Squam Lake - I was torn between looking at the dogs do their thing and the beautiful night sky.....Wow.....This is a MUST for everyone visiting the Waterville Valley area....The Siberian and Alaskan Huskies were sweethearts and just had a blast doing what they were bread to do....Sign up ahead of time to ensure an experience of a lifetime...... :)

"Upon our return
home from
vacationing in New
Hampshire, we wanted
to let you know how
excited we were to
have experienced the
Dog Sled Excursion,
“Valley Taster”, you
provided for us at
Waterville Valley,
on March 9, 2012.
The ride was
unbelievably
enjoyable and
exhilarating. The
trail through the
woods showed us how
well these teams
truly perform. It
was a pleasure to
meet our guides
Lidia, Richard, Kim
and Kelly. The
information they
gave about the
personalities of the
dogs and what role
they play in the
team was
fascinating. We also
loved how we were
given the
opportunity to pet
and get to know all
the dogs which made
watching them
perform even more
interesting. We are
looking forward to
your start-up again
in the fall when we
will all definitely
be signing-up for
another excursion.
Next time we want to
do the “Moose Run”
because we just
can’t get enough of
this ride. We will
pass the word on and
will post our
happiness with this
experience on
tripadvisor.com.
Thank you so much
for creating such a
wonderful
excursion."

I will be in touch with you again. Thanks again."

"Thank you so much for being able to accommodate us
on such short notice. It was AMAZING. The dogs, the
sleds, the mushers, the entire experience. I have
already heard from homeowners that were not able to
make it now kicking themselves for missing the dogz."
