Dear friends of Vermont Dogsledding,
We are sad to announce that we will not be offering trips this coming 2008-09 season. Believe me, this is harder on us than it is on you!
With the combination of a slowing economy, the price of fuel, Global Warming upon us, and our dogs starting to get old, we realize that we need to consolidate and work with what we have. We will be running our dogs as a family only.
We will miss all of you! Especially all of our faithful returning customers. We are sorry we will not get to visit with you this coming season.
We will be focusing on our Maple sugaring operation, expanding our vegetable garden to a size that can just about feed our family for a year, growing grains, increasing our livestock operations, and of course focusing on our older dogs that still need to run, but just a small distance.
We do not believe this is the end of our 15 year stint of guiding with our dogs. We just need to be prudent right now and put our energies towards a more efficient model in which we can thrive as a family. Thank you for being understanding.
-Lissy Heminway

What We're About
Vermont
Dog Sledding is located in Shoreham, Vermont (in the Champlain
Valley). We are a small outfitter that has over 13 years of experience
with sled dogs and guiding in Vermont. We focus on quality versus
quantity when it comes to running our 3-5
mile rides and 8-12 mile trips. We
are educators by nature and look forward
to the opportunity to share our knowledge of dog sledding with you.
Our
Dogs
We have 11 freight huskies all of various ages. Some are
a mix of Greenland husky and Inuit dog, while others are a mix breed
freight dog from the Yukon. They are large, strong, friendly and
very energetic. They have been carefully selected for their desire
to work. We enjoy traveling with them by
dogsled in the Green Mountain National Forest and on frozen lakes
and fields. We place our emphasis on taking our time and enjoying
ourselves rather than covering great distances.
