While his rugged mullet might be the first thing to catch your attention, Iditarod rookie Eddie Burke Jr. is looking to catch the Rookie of the Year award.
“We talked some trash to some mushers and next thing you know I’m getting invited out running dogs and along the way I met Aaron, and here I am!” he said.
Half of the dogs that are on Burke Jr.’s team were raised on his own; the other half are from Burmiesters’ kennel.“For me to run Aaron’s dogs it’s a great privilege, obviously because they can pick anyone,” he said. “There would be a long line if they put that out there, ‘Hey who wants to come train my team?’ So yeah, it’s definitely an honor and a privilege and it’s something I take pride in.”
While Burke Jr. is showing us that he is a very strong musher, the first thing most notice is his hair. The 33-year-old musher is rocking a mullet that is almost louder than his dog team. “What a great honor to have the best hair on the trail,” Burke Jr. said. “Hopefully one day, it’ll be my mushing abilities.”
