Perryvale, AB, CANADA

Karen Ramstead, 42, was born in Eastern Canada and raised in Alberta. She began running dogs in the early 90's after obtaining her first Siberian husky. "Our love for the breed has continued to grow and we now share our lives with over 50 purebred Siberian Huskies. Our team has set many ‘firsts' for Canada - we are the first CKC registered team of Siberian Huskies to compete in and complete the Iditarod and many of our dogs are Canadian Kennel Club champions and group placers. I am continually inspired by the history, spirit, and presence of the purebred Siberian Husky." A member of the Canadian Kennel Club, the Siberian Husky Club of Canada and the International Siberian Husky Club, Karen says her hobbies are "mostly dog stuff." She will run the 2008 Iditarod in memory of her dog, Snickers, who died during last year's race.
