We sprint race at a recreational level and offer Demos and training at reasonable rates (see below). We pride ourselves on being a small and well socialized kennel. Our dogs are friendly, charismatic, and great with people of all ages. We have a young & competitive 4-dog purebred team that has a couple class wins already and are looking for sponsors to help us get to events each year. Please visit our website at http://www.freewebs.com/coldcreekkennel/, and sign our guestbook, Thanks!

CCK Demo Prices: At your location (within a 50 mile radius) is $35 per hour, plus $5 per ride if rides are requested and given. Our distance of travel may alter this rate. We can give demo’s any time of the year but temperature and humidity will determine what activities are available for our dogs. A Demo at our location (Winona State Forest) is a flat rate of $25 per hour plus $5 per ride. During a “ride” demo, each patron can either drive the sled themselves or ride with one of us. It’s your choice so long as arrangements are confirmed and made in advance. Mushing is a FUN activity for both dogs and drivers, but don’t take our word for it, arrange for a demo and witness it first-hand! Contact Christina or Mark at (315) 232-7623.
