ABOUT US
Australian Sleddog Tours started operating in 2005 and is owned and operated by Brett Hadden & Neisha Gschwend.
It all started whilst out training for the Altitude 5000 Race, we were approached by an elderly Canadian lady, she asked could you possibly take my grandson for a short ride in your sled? I see Sleddogs all the time in Canada but my grandson lives in Australia, it's not something you see here everyday, I really want him to experience what I take for granted at home in Canada.
So off they went and on return they were giggling and had smiles from ear to ear.
The Canadian lady thanked us all including the Huskies but before leaving she turned looked at us both and said " You should do Sleddog Tours "
So began our journey, we had 5 Huskies back then, more Huskies were needed so we started rescuing Huskies to join the team. There is nothing more rewarding than giving them a second chance in life and seeing them do what they love to do.
In 2017 we rescued and added a new member to our team "Dusty" an Australian Kelpie, Dusty has become Quite the celebrity, many call him "The Legend of the High Plains".
