DURANGO DOG RANCH is owned and operated by Gregg & Gretchen Dubit. In 1988 these two outdoor enthusiasts met as employees of Sugarbush Ski Resort in Vermont. They moved west to attend Fort Lewis College and both became teachers. The outdoors called again and Gregg's fascination with sled dogs led to adventures by dogsled. It all started twenty-eight years ago when Gretchen said "I Do" and Gregg thought she said, "I do want two kids (Lydia, 19, and Hayden 17), thirty dogs, three cats, and three fish to grow old with". This family business is in its twenty-eighth year.
The Season is UPON us! We will be at Molas Lake Trails, 50 minutes NORTH of town, where there is plenty of snow!
Welcome to Durango Dog Ranch, a family-owned business run by Gregg Gretchen Dubit. With a rich history that began in 1988, our journey started with a shared love for the outdoors and a passion for sled dogs. Over the years, we've grown our family to include not just our two wonderful kids, Lydia and Hayden, but also thirty dogs, three cats, and three fish! Join us as we continue this adventure with our dedicated guides, kennel partners Whiskey and Hannah from Black Dog Kennels, and talented photographer Johnny Fitz, a.k.a. Grumpyhiglander. Then there are our guides, who are also like family. Many more are not pictured- you know who you are.
