The Heart of Outlaw Ridge: Our Sled Dogs
Our sled dogs are the true heroes of every adventure at Outlaw Ridge. They are strong, energetic, and driven, working tirelessly to pull our sleds through snowy trails and frozen landscapes. These dogs are bred for endurance, and their passion for mushing is unmatched. But beyond their athleticism, each dog has its own personality, quirks, and stories, which we love to share with our guests.
Our Team of Sled Dogs: Who Are They?
Here at Outlaw Ridge, we have a variety of breeds that make up our sled dog team, each with its own strengths and unique characteristics. From the hard-working Siberian Huskies to the loyal Alaskan Malamutes, every dog brings something special to the team. Here are a few of the stars you’ll likely meet during your visit:

Luna is the life of the team. She’s full of energy, always wagging her tail, and ready to run at top speed. Her exuberance is unmatched, and her excitement fuels the rest of the dogs.

If you’re looking for a sled dog with an infectious spirit, Luna’s your girl.
3. Diesel – The Powerhouse
Diesel is one of the strongest dogs in the pack, with a muscular build and an unrelenting work ethic. He’s a true powerhouse, pulling the sled with tremendous strength and stamina. Diesel may look tough on the outside, but he’s also incredibly gentle and loves affection. When he’s not running the trails, Diesel enjoys resting with his fellow sled dogs and receiving plenty of belly rubs from our guests.
4. Bella – The Sweetheart
Bella is known for her calm and gentle nature. Though she’s a strong athlete, Bella is also incredibly affectionate and loves attention. She’s the kind of dog that will nuzzle you gently when you meet her, making her the perfect companion for those new to the sport.

He’s the dog who thrives on new adventures, and his energy keeps the whole team going.
6. Ginger – The Speedster
Ginger is the fastest dog in the pack, and she knows it! With lightning speed and a competitive edge, Ginger is always striving to be the first across the finish line.
