Clayton Perry

Clayton started mushing in 1998 with hounds to hunt lion and check trap line in the wilderness. In 2008 he switched to Alaskan Huskies. He lists his mushing highlights as his first-place finishes in both the ECX 100-mile race, winning the Rocky Mountain Triple Crown, as well as the Flathead Classic 12-dog Race along with running 4 Iditarod qualifiers 2020.

Perry says his most embarrassing dog moment was when his team went "off course" in downtown Jackson Hole, Wyoming running over a cameraman and through spectator's lawns and gardens.
