PARK CITY, UTAH - Blayne Streeper from Fort Nelson, British Columbia, won the 2011 International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race (IPSSDR) with an overall time of 19:38:27. Streeper also won the IPSSSDR in 2004 and 2010.
Streeper and his father, Terry, are the owner/operators of Streeper Kennels. In 2010, they won their fourth straight Fur Rendezvous World Sled Dog Championship title. Since 1991 the Streeper team has combined for 12 world titles. "Although winning is nice," said Blayne, "our greatest pleasure comes from watching these outstanding sled dogs excel in their natural environment."
