“Frosty”

DOB: 1/15/04

Sire: Kelim’s Nitro of Anju

Dam:  Barking Brooks Nushka of Anju

Position: Team

Status: neutered male

Likes: Eleu ( who knows why)

Dislikes: coming when called

Frosty is the most aloof dog in the kennel. He pretty much does his own thing, but is sweet enough to humor me and act like he likes it when I pet him. He is short bodied and has a bit of a funny waddling gait. He works hard up hills, but has a hard time at faster paces. He is pretty trouble free, but like the rest of his litter, has a really annoying scream.

“Erni”

DOB: 1/15/04

Sire: Kelim’s Nitro of Anju

Dam: Barking Brook’s Nushka of Anju

Position: Leader/ Team Dog

Status: Intact male

Likes: ear rubs, kong toys

Dislikes: waiting to run!

Accomplishments: 2008 Mushing Boot Camp

I picked Erni at four weeks of age. He is definitely one of my favorite boys. Erni loves toys and loves to run. He is a loud dog with a most annoying voice. He is always happy to see me and will come running to give me a hug, usually slamming into me at full speed. Erni has been leading since his second season in harness. He is a strong and hardworking dog, but sometimes he lacks confidence up front and needs a lot of positive encouragement in lead.

“Mani”

DOB: 7/ 1/ 2003

Sire: First Chance

Dam: Sergei’s Zelda Jakovna

Position: Team Dog

Status: Neutered male

Likes: attention!

Dislikes: dogs who don’t think he is god (or can’t fake it)

Accomplishments: Rally Novice, Class Demo Dog,

Mani is another smaller dog with a lot of attitude. He is a hard worker in harness and and enthusiastic obedience dog. He loves to work. He can be a bit hard headed sometimes, especially about gee over. Mani gets along with his kennel mates, but can be short tempered and bossy, especially with the younger dogs. Mani absolutely loves attention and is usually demanding pets and talking at anyone within reach.

“Mato”

DOB: 4/10/2000

Sire: Kodiak’s Nebraska 2nd

Dam: Four Winds Faradela

Position: Team

Status: Neutered male

Likes: Salmon and Chicken

Dislikes: nail trimming

Accomplishments: 2002 Craftsbury 30,

Mato was my first experienced sled dog, and he came to me as a three year old. He is just an easy dog. He gets along with everyone, he deals with new situations well, he works consistantly. He is well behaved on the line and I like to run young dogs next to him. He has been very valuable, as he has been a solid member of my evolving team, just going about his job without causing trouble, which is exactly what I’ve needed! Mato has basic obedience training and works well on a leash.

“Schu”

DOB: 1/19/2005

Sire: North Wapiti’s Mr. Snuffleupagus

Dam: Sergei’s Zelda Jakovna

Position: Team dog, some lead

Status: intact male

Likes: Food! Slamming the teeter

Dislikes: stopping on the trail

Accomplishments: Beginner Agility Classes, Breed Handling Classes, 2008 Mushing Boot Camp

Schu is always happy. Whatever he is up to he has a smile on his face. It seems like he never grew up, and still acts like he’s 6 months old. He’s bouncy and in your face, looking for fun. He is a very hard worker, though it took him a few years to mature enough to focus on running. He is the dog on the team that is always harness banging and yipping to go whenever we stop.
