Out on the trai - Windsor, VT 
Windsor Farm’s Family Features 41 Siberian Huskies
What started when a little girl came home one day and told her parents she wanted to learn how to dog sled, has turned into a passion for partners in business (and in life) Kathy Bennett and Alex MacLennan. Starting with five dogs for their daughter to care for, train and love, has turned into 41 dogs to care for, train and love.
Bennett, who works as an educational consultant specializing in literacy and dyslexia and MacLennan, who runs MacLennan farm, lives in Windsor and somehow finds time to keep 41 dogs at Braeburn Siberians happy and healthy.
Over the 12 years, Braeburn has produced eight litters of Siberian puppies so most of these dogs are related somehow. They live together, they play together and when they are harnessed up, they work together. And it’s not just the dogs that are part of the team, the humans are team members, too.
Every dog has a role to fill in the canine and human pack and the same goes for the humans. Somehow the busy humans find time to spend many hours of one-to-one training and positive reinforcement and all out love for each dog in their care. “It’s lots of fun but a lot of work, but so worth the unconditional love,” says Bennett.
