“I race and train dogs, mostly open teams since I can stay on runners,” says Leonie, an enthusiastic, first time Stage Stop competitor. Leonie started running dogs when she was 4 years old. In Europe, she’s a bit of a media star, featured in radio, television and sports magazines. In 2023, she received the Susan’s Hope Award for Dog Care at the Fur Rondy.
