Mentoring
Program
The members of the Cascade Sled Dog Club are committed to sharing our
love of dogs, sledding, and other recreational dog sports such as skijoring
with others. With that in mind, we have decided to act as mentors to
anyone who is interested in learning more. The individuals below have
offered their time and experience should anyone wish to contact them.

Luke and Jennifer White
We have been running dogs for about 8 years now. We originally started
skijoring with our Malamute. We slowly accumulated more dogs and moved
to Sandy from NW Portland in order to pursue our dog sledding passion.
We now have 15 (or so) dogs and mainly focus on dog sledding. When there
is no snow, we run our dogs pulling a quad and when the snow flies we
are on the mountain.
We are a husband and wife team. My husband runs an 8 dog sprint and
I run more of a mid-distance run with usually 6 dogs. We have two children
- a 7 year old who will be starting to run her own team of dogs competing
in the "Junior's" division running 1-2 dogs and we have a 6 month old
baby who enjoys the view from a back pack when running the dogs.
We have Alaskan Huskies in our kennel (our Malamute has long since retired
and enjoys front porch naps in the sun!). We love our dogs and love
to run them with other dog people. We are always available for questions
and insight into the dog sledding world - what a fun one it is!
