What does it take to consistently win two of North America's most prestigious sprint sled dog races?

In this episode of the Mushing Podcast, Dr. Robert Forto and Kourosh Partow welcome Anny Malo and Marco Rivest, a team among the most accomplished in the sport. The Quebec-based couple shares how they built a championship kennel from the ground up and what it takes to compete at the highest level across Canada and the United States.

The conversation explores their victories at the La Pas Race in Manitoba and at Wyoming's Pedigree Stage Stop Race, their annual three-month racing circuit covering thousands of miles, and the training philosophy that prepares their dogs for demanding multi-day competitions.

Anny and Marco also discuss breeding decisions, developing elite canine athletes, traveling with up to 40 sled dogs, living on the road in a self-contained trailer, and the teamwork that has made them one of the most respected kennels in sprint racing.

Whether you're interested in competitive mushing, kennel management, race strategy, or the demands of maintaining championship performance year after year, this episode offers an inside look at one of the sport's premier racing operations.
