Meet The Dogs
Meet the dogs that do it!
As you can see I have quite a mis-matched kennel. All of the dogs have their own, very different back round. Three of my current dogs, including two sled dogs, were rescued from nearby shelters. The rest were given to me by other mushing kennels or family members.

Salsa
Breed: Alaskan Husky
Age: 9
Gender: F
Running Position: Lead
Salsa is my main leader. She has the most expressive, beautiful brown eyes that you will ever see! She loves playing around with the other dogs during their free runs in the kennel and will chase anything that moves so she enjoys playing fetch (although we need to work on her actually bringing back the ball....).
At races, you will probably find Salsa in my lap waiting for our chute time. She makes an excellent overgrown lap dog!
Fun Fact: Jacob and Salsa were the 3rd two-dog team in the country in 2008 with the ISDRA!

Char

Char - my princess and the instigator of all things fun and mischievous! She's a happy-go-lucky girl who lives in her own little world where everything is rainbows and butterflies. Char is a stellar dog with great work ethic!
Despite being a Siberian, she has no trouble keeping up with my hounds...thus I have dubbed her my "Siberian Gone Hound"!

Jetta

My wild hooligan!
Jetta is the half sister to my other sibe girl, Char. They share a similar personality and seem to live in the same world - where everything is rainbows and butterflies. Hopefully, with Jetta, we will be able to advance to the 6 dog class next racing season!

Jazz

Jazz is my Diva/Drama Queen. She is the girliest dog I have ever met but she is all speed and focus in harness. I also call her my wild child because she has crazy energy! Jazz is the most versatile sled dog I have and can go from sled dog to lap dog!

Sydney
Breed: Alaskan Husky
Age: 3
Gender: F
Running Position: Leader in Training
Sydney is full of life and energy! She has a "Git R Done" type of personality that makes her the perfect dog to take over Jacob's job in lead. Sydney loves to give kisses and is definitely a "momma's girl".
Jacob
Breed: Alaskan Husky
Age: 12
Gender: M
Running Position:Puppy and Lead Dog Trainer/Retiree
Jacob is a wise old sage. I can almost see him sitting in the kennel during a free run telling all of my other "kids" the way life works.
Jacob's long career in racing came to an end last winter when I retired him. He has been an excellent dog, served well as a leader, but it was time for him to retire. He will now take up the job of training puppies and new leaders.

Cougar
Breed: Alaskan Husky
Age: 12
Gender: F
Running Position: Retired
Leader of the Kennel Choir - She loves to sing! Cougar is now retired to a life of sleeping on the couch and often joining me on trips and errands. I still take her bikejoring and sometimes on short runs with the team but other than that, she is enjoying the retired life.

Ellie
Breed: German Shepherd
Age: 7
Gender: F
Running Position: Attached At My Hip
Ellie is my social butterfly. She loves to meet new people and dogs! Whether it's pulling a sled, doing agility, hiking, or acting as my personal body guard, Ellie loves whatever she does as long as she is with me. Ellie doesn't run with the main team anymore but she still enjoys teaching new arrivals how things work at our kennel.
Ellie is like my second shadow and likes to be at my side 24/7.

Dixie
Breed: Beagle
Age: 3

Dixie is my little companion dog. She loves 'helping" me with the chores and she comes with me when I take the dogs on training runs and to races. She also loves to snuggle and can most often be found in a nest of blankets on my bed.
