Becki and Kevin Tucker were married in 1996. I had just graduating high school and soon began
my career as an Emergency/Critical care veterinary nurse. Kevin was a machinest a few years
older then me who's major hobby was dirt bike riding.

In 1998 we adopted our first siberian and he is the reason we live the life we do today. Yukon was
the start of this entire life and the style. While I'm the one that is consumed with training, racing,
and the mushing way of life.  Kevin  is incredibly supportive and understanding. I'm sure when he
proposed he had no idea he'd soon be living with 20 dogs, and home alone in the winter.  I'm an
independent, take care of everything person, so the fact that I train alone and head north alone
are normal. But what many may not realize is that even if all me, it's Kevin that makes, designs,
builds and fixes everything!

Alot has changed since 1998. In the beginning we ran sprint races, stayed pretty local, trained
6-8 dogs, and used a wheeled cart. Several of the dogs were from Yukons breeder. Once I
adopted him I contacted her and she became another big piece of starting things off for us. She
was very giving, several times she added to our family. By 2000 I added several more dogs, they
were all adopted and came with a wrap sheet on each and every issue. We soon had a house full
of escape artisits, behavior problems, displaced aggression, aggressive, battered, abused,
neglected, and just plain old misunderstood.  While sprint racing was fun it wasn't the reason I
took these dogs in. Again another thing Yukon gets credit for. I felt all these dogs were just not
paid enough attention, not worked so their boredom and major energy level created annoyance
for the owner. While some of them liked being in harness and were great, a few never cared for
it. Either way they were part of our family and after being the 3rd or 6th home for these dogs I
saw no reason to place them again just because they couldn't run.

Somethings have changed. We are now a mid-distance kennel, I've started our own breeding
program to add a new addition, I train 14 dogs, and we use a honda rancher in gear for training.
But my philosophy and beliefs are still the same. I do not kennel, crate, tie out or seperate any
dogs. We live our life much like a wolf pack . We live by the same code and discipline and share
the same loyalty, love, trust and respect as a pack. The dogs spend there days outside in a 3
acre yard. In the evening they come in for dinner and then spend there time inside playing with  
toys, getting attention or just relaxing. While race and training is a major part in me and the dogs
its not what its all about. This is my family. Each and everyone brings something special to the
table. Each an everyone is loved, and appreciated and each one has there very own strengths,
and weaknesses. I still refuse to place a dog because there performance in harness is lacking, or
because there retiring. I feel even if they are no longer holding a strong presence on the team,
they are still a important place in the pack and in our hearts.
