What Sets Us Apart?

Luna Lobos Dog Sledding is family owned and operated.  When you come out for a tour, you are being welcomed into the family and their home, not just a trail or corporate location.  This is more than just a tour, you become part of the pack and get to know the stories behind each amazing athlete.  It is also a true local year-round dog sled operation. The owners live onsite with the pack, and they truly know each and every one of their dogs. Raised in Park City, Fernando has raced sled dogs from a young age. Dana and Fernando have five children of their own. Gabriel, 11, and Noah, 10, currently run their own dogs and will be racing Winter 2020/2021, in the one and two dog class! Josiah, 7, and Hazelle, 5,  hope to join their brothers soon! Ariana, joined their human pack on June 5th, 2019 and is adjusting to their wild and crazy life very well. Tours for Luna Lobos dog sledding help to provide for the kennels and ranch these incredible athletes live on! Fernando races professionally. He recently competed in the International Pedigree Stage Stop Race, which is comparable to the world series of baseball. He placed 12th in this internationally competitive race. After that, he went to The Pas, Manitoba, Canada. There he competed in the World Championships, which is like the Olympics of dog sledding, the best in the world. Here, he also came in 12th. He has also raced in Laconia, New Hampshire at the World Championship Sled Dog Derby where he placed 6th, and is now ranked number 6 in the world. His amazing team was comprised of donated athletes and some rescue dogs, a very interesting mix indeed.

Fernando and Dana believe in creating an environment where every dog can thrive. Their dogs are not circus animals, expected to perform and do all the work. Instead, they believe in building a relationship with each dog based on trust and respect, and discovering what life path will bring that dog the most joy. They believe that dog sledding is a work of art, and that all the pieces have to work together, both musher and dog, sharing the work, in order to create a masterpiece.
