Hello! My name is Cruz, and I am musher to four Siberian Huskies who are the absolute loves of my life. The joy in my world comes from seeing to their needs and wants which includes mushing, and gathering with other like minded people from the sled dog enthusiast to the professional mushers to talk dogs. I call what I have learned from my Siberians and mushing the K9 Philosophy, and has taught me to live the best, simplest life of Gratitude and Humility I possibly can. And it is from that, that my phrase of "Dogs first" comes, and on this show we will talk to a range of sled dog folks that also live in this same "Dogs first" attitude and lifestyle. My number one aim for this show is to put forth the positives on dog ownership, especially working dogs in their lives with us. Mushing is the passion I want to share, but we will talk about everything from nutrition to behavior, agility, obedience and of course harness sports. The people I chose to speak with are among the best of the best, whether you know their names or not. From the front lines of the BIG DAWG races, to those that put them on, recreational mushers, sprint and distance teams, and all those who support working dog sports like our trusted Vets and Race Marshals.
