Why Choose Us

Bertrand Bellencourt, your host and guide.
Professional wilderness guide and expedition leader.

Our custom Adventure tours are more than just Yukon dogsledding trips. We offer full immersion wilderness adventure packages where you will have a chance to experience the Yukon off the beaten tracks. Rest assured, your guides are experienced outdoor professionals.

Boreal Kennels, Yukon's Dogsledding expert, is a family operated wilderness tours outfitter located 70 km south of Whitehorse in Canada's Yukon Territories. Bertrand has been leading dogsledding expeditions since 2001. Having been actively involved in adventure eco-tourism for 25 years, we deliver safe, educational, earth friendly, adventure-oriented wilderness trips.

Choosing Boreal Kennels for your Yukon sled dog adventure is making sure you will have a positive mushing experience with healthy, happy huskies and responsible dog owners.
 
Our 35 Alaskan and Siberian huskies are part of our family. All of them have names and are treated with tender love and care. They all have very distinct characters and personalities. Most of our dogs were born at our house but we do sometimes adopt sled dogs from other kennels, when they are in need of a new home. When a dog becomes part of our team, they spend the rest of their lives with us and are responsibly taken care of! Our sled dogs are allowed in our house even if they prefer to spend most of their time outside. They are all very gentle and loving dogs. Our dogs have been part of our lives for over 25 years and will always remain with us!
 
Our guides have all received Wilderness Advanced First Aid training. They are experts in their disciplines and well equipped to deliver safe outdoor adventures in the most remote environments. Your safety is our priority. Let them share their extensive wilderness travel knowledge and expertise.

Testimonials

The Best Guide and Hosts

Sharon

Outstanding!! I can’t thank Bertrand, Julie, Alex, and their four legged companions enough for an experience of a lifetime. My husband and I, and I expect also our two good friends whom we travelled with, will be talking about our 5 day/4 night dog sledding adventure for many years to come.
Beautiful tranquil landscapes, gorgeous friendly dogs, and the BEST guide and hosts you can imagine. And to top it off, we were privileged to witness the magic of the Northern lights on our last night.
Dog sledding with Boreal Kennels was truly a unique and authentic experience and we loved every minute of it. Going with Boreal was a brilliant choice and I would love to do this again some time with Bertrand and his team. I highly recommend a dog sledding trip with Boreal Kennels to anyone who has an adventurous spirit. What more can I say? Fantastic!!

Every Moment Worthwhile

Albert

Without a doubt, if I had to choose a company again to do my tours, I would always be with them. They are a wonderful family, they make you feel part of them, they listen to you, and they do their best to make your trip a unique and wonderful experience. They made every moment worthwhile! The best company in all of Whitehorse with which you can be sure that you will have enough time for your activities, without hassles or anything for them. The most important thing at that moment is you! So do not hesitate!

A Complete Adrenaline Rush

Michelle

All I can say is what we experienced is going to stay with me forever. I fell in love with the beauty of Yukon and got to experience the scenic views, snow on my face, and cute huskies. It was a complete adrenaline rush the whole time and I could not stop talking about the experience.
Thank you Bertrand for being so kind and giving both me and my partner an experience we will cherish forever.
