Bridgett is Allen Moore's youngest daughter. She got her first sled dog, Grizz - a red Siberian with a curly tail - when she was 7 years old. The family was very supportive of her dreams and they soon had a "dog yard". She began to race and competed in the Alaska junior sled dog races. She and her sister, Jennifer, even competed for "Team Alaska" in the Arctic Winter Games in Yellowknife, Canada. Bridgett's love for dogs and mushing has never faded.
