Hello
Alaskan Arctic expeditions began 40 years ago in the small village of Wiseman, Alaska, with a population of 25 people. To quote Joe, "Our malamutes were used as the primary source of transportation in winter and were comprised mostly of dogs that were unwanted by other mushers because of various reasons, including being too big and slow, or viciously mean, but they became part of our family and team."
Our Story
Eventually, Joe's well-trained team and his training skills caught the attention of movie scouts for the 1990 Walt Disney movie White Fang. Joe worked on the movie for three months as an actor, stunt double, dog trainer, and sled dog coordinator. Still, it didn't take long after the movie for Joe to lose interest in the Hollywood spotlight and return to his true passion- Arctic exploration by dog team.
Since then, he has established one of the most resilient purebred Alaskan Malamute dog-sledding teams in modern times. Joe and his team of malamutes have taken dog mushing and Arctic exploration to a new level.
Never in recorded history has anyone traveled solo for 4-5 months in one of the most brutal environments on earth, with a team of 22 dogs, without resupply or even seeing another person for 5 months. Joe and his team have broken many dog mushing records and accomplished what many said was impossible.
Joe is also a pioneer in dog mushing and has perfected a method of travel that is unprecedented in modern times. Joe attributes his ability to travel and break new trail in 2-5 feet deep snow to his innovative training methods, gear, and his new sled dog hitch system. Joe attributes 100% success, however, to his Alaskan malamutes, which, in his words, "are the toughest-minded and intelligent dogs on earth".
He shares a special bond with his team and each dog. To quote Joe, "All the dogs are part of our family." Despite these accomplishments, Joe attributes his strength, the dogs' stamina, and their powerful builds to God, our creator. He thanks the Lord Jesus Christ for the opportunity to serve dog-loving communities and inspire people worldwide.
"Ordinary dogs have accomplished extraordinary things because they didn't know they couldn't" -Joe G. Henderson-
