Gerry Willomitzer's
Blackjack Racing Kennel
Race History and Awards
Less than 20 dog teams worldwide ever completed 
the 1000-mile Yukon Quest and the 1000-mile Iditarod back to back. 
Gerry & the dogs became part of this "club" in 2007.

They also were one of four teams to shatter the old Yukon Quest race record 
during the 2007 race, and currently hold 
one of the fastest times on the Yukon Quest trail.
