About Us
May 14th 2009
Wolf Moon Siberians is a small sled dog kennel in northwest Georgia, run by Alice White. While Georgia may not be a typical location for a sled dog kennel, Alice had to make do with where she was growing up. The team is fortunate enough to have a 3-mile loop trail right behind the house, as well as dirt roads and trails nearby. Being in Georgia, the Wolf Moon team runs mostly dryland with occasional trips to snow country.
Alice is a musher in her twenties and has been working with huskies since she was eleven. She has participated in sled dog events across the Lower 48 and has trained with mushers in upstate New York, Wyoming, Minnesota and Alaska. She spent the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 mushing seasons working full-time at Mantiou Crossing Kennels in Finland, Minnesota. Alice helped train Manitou Crossing’s puppy team, running them in mid-distance races across the Midwest, such as the Beargrease 150, Wolftrack Classic 60 and Red River Sled Dog Derby.

Alice’s goals are to eventually re-locate Wolf Moon to snow country and begin expanding her team. She hopes to eventually run Siberian husky teams in the Yukon Quest and Iditarod. Her more immediate goal is to return to the Beargrease 150 with a team of her own dogs.
In the meantime, Alice will be working on earning a veterinary technician degree this Fall, which she hopes will help support her in her pursuit of sled dog racing.
One of Alice’s hobbies is writing Dog & Sled magazine. This annual mushing newsletter features interviews, news, stories and articles on the mushing world. The most recent issues are available online at http://www.dx4solutions.com/dogandsled/
When she is not working with sled dogs, Alice enjoys movies, books, music and quoting obscure lines from said movies, books and music.
