WORF is a
neutered, debarked male born 5-28-02. Always ready to continue on,
up & barking, ready to go after a short break. Excellent wheel dog,
works hard to pull around corners instead of cutting corners. Very
sweet, but very shy. Once he knows you, would be a great addition to
your home! Great addition for a recreational or mid-distance team as
well! (Click on picture to view larger image) (Code ER) |

KEIKO
is Rom's sister (see Rom below) Female, DOB 5/28/02 (7 of 9’s pup).
Approx. 50 lbs, debarked, spayed, a little shy. Keiko is a
young, happy, hard driving, fast, girl who has been leading since
she was a pup. As a two year old she is rapidly becoming one of my
main leaders. Finished the Iditarod in 2006, but as
the team has gotten faster has not wanted to run lead very often. (Click on picture to view larger image) (Code ER) |

 ADOPTED |
QUARK is a
neutered, debarked male born 5-28-02. Has run wheel or team
normally. Has tried lead, but not great at it. Shy, and slow to
mature. Has the physical drive to make the team, but didn't have the
mental drive to run in a long distance race. Will be a strong
addition to any team once you've overcome his shyness. (Click on picture to view larger image) (Code ER ) |
