National Dog Food

Betcha Katcha Kennel has been Racing , training and maintaining our Kennel on National dog food for the last several years.  Our passion for our sport has brought us to the Top Open Sled Dog races in the world.  To be competitive in that world we have to strive to have the best dogs, the best training, the best care given to our dogs.  We also have to make sure that our dogs have the right nutrition to achieve the goals we have set for them and ourselves.  National dog food has been that food for us.  We have been able to train and race under extreme conditions and have it hold up to our dogs needs.  This year the dog team surpassed our goals and won “ The Fur Rondy World Championship” in Anchorage Alaska.   In the world of sled dog racing “The Rondy” is considered the toughest Open Class race going.  It is a 3 day event that goes 26 miles thru the streets and parks of down town Anchorage and has been held for over 70 years.  Dogs that race at the Rondy have to be mentally tough and physically fit.  We feel that National food has provided the base we need to keep our dogs in top condition. Not only did National prepare our team for the Rondy it kept them strong thru the race season so we could go on to become the Silver medalist in the International Sled dog Racing  Association.

Thank you National for having a quality product. We also want to recognize Rick and Margret Harvey who provide exceptional  service as Distributors for National in our area.
