We are so excited to see what this winter holds for him!
Fossil

Goblin
Birthday: July 24, 2016 – Woodland Creatures Litter
Breeding: Mr. Paws (Kristin Bacon) x Chanel
Race History: 3 Iditarod’s, multiple mid-distance races
Goblin has a phenomenal appetite and never turns down food. He’s infamous for bouncing up unpredictably like a jack-in-the-box out of excitement. Don’t lean over him! With all that excitement, he makes a great team cheerleader!
Hamilton
Birthday: May 24, 2021 – Broadway Musicals Litter
Breeding: Luna & Kenmore
Race History: None – Puppy pack!
Hamilton is our adventurous boy! His steely blue eyes and halfway popped ear that causes his ears flop out of sync when he runs will melt any heart. He has shown such promise in the puppy team that we are really excited to see what this winter holds for him!
Kayak
Birthday: September 3, 2018 – Palindrome Litter
Breeding: Bailey x Zig
Race History: 1 Iditarod and many mid-distance races
Kayak is full of energy and spunk! He trained hard and gained experience running in every position and is a valuable member of the team. Given the opportunity, Kayak has a lot of potential to excel anywhere within the team.
Kenmore
Birthday: June 8, 2013 – Sewing Machine Brand Litter
Breeding: Bailey x Silk
Race History: 5 Iditarods, 1 Yukon Quest, and many mid-distance races.
Kenmore is one of the more experienced dogs in the team and started his last two Iditarod races in the lead position. When Kenmore is off duty, he’s calm, sweet, and very relaxed. We often find him in an apparent state of meditation that has earned him the nickname “Zenmore.” He is starting to move into our full-time puppy trainer position and is loving running at the pups pace.
Luna
Birthday: May 5, 2017 – Cinco de Mayo Litter
Breeding: Bison (Rayme Redington) x Zig
Race History: 1 Iditarod, many mid-distance
Luna is the mischief maker of the Cinco litter. You can usually find her goofing with everyone and everything in sight, even at night. When it’s time to run, she’ll go all day and still have the energy to play. What she lacks in size, she makes up for in spirit and spunk. Leading from the front since she was young, we expect great things from her.
Mussel
Birthday: June 16, 2019 – Sea Creatures Litter
Breeding: Jerry x Zig
Race History: 1 Iditarod, many mid-distance races
Mussel is a big goof full of personality! He’s a hard charging strong boy, who prefers running in team or wheel, where he can put his head down and go. Immediately following a run, he’s still got enough energy to scarf down his food, bounce around, and snuggle with any human that passes by.
Otto
Birthday: September 3, 2018 – Palindrome Litter
Breeding: Bailey x Zig
Race History: 1 Iditarod, many mid-distance
Otto is generally pretty chill and relaxed in the dog yard, but once those harnesses come out and it’s time to be hooked to the line, he’s a whole new dog. Once hooked up to the sled, he just wants to run! He runs and pulls without hesitation. Otto has experience running in every position and has the potential to do great anywhere in the team.
Patience
Birthday: June 12, 2018 – Virtues Litter
Breeding: Blizzard x Chanel
Race History: 1 Iditarod, many mid-distance
Patience is an affable quiet personality who just loves to run. As a puppy we couldn’t get her off the wheel, and as an adult, she’s still stealing the show on the wheel. In everything she’s challenged with, Patience loves to put her head down, put her heart into it, and go. This past winter she brought out her fullest potential and was a vital part of the Iditarod team.
Phantom
Birthday: May 24, 2021 – Broadway Musicals Litter
Breeding: Luna & Kenmore
Race History: None – Puppy pack!
Phantom is our crazy boy! He was pretty unsure about his harness at first, but as soon as he realized wearing it meant he would go for longer and longer runs, it was hard to keep it off. As soon as he is hooked to the line, much like his brother Hamilton, he puts his head down and focuses on the trail, loving every moment! He has shown such promise in the puppy team that we are really excited to see what this winter holds for him!
Pita
Birthday: May 7, 2016 – Sandwich Litter
Breeding: Suspect x Clipper
Race History: 2 Iditarods, multiple mid-distance races.
Pita, like the bread, is an ace you want on your team. Pita’s personality and skill set makes her a great fit for every position and a great running partner. When not hard at work, she is often seen trying to get smooches from the handlers by extending a paw and staring with her big eyes.
Prawn
Birthday: June 16, 2019 – Sea Creatures Litter
Breeding: Jerry x Zig
Race History: 1 Iditarod, a couple mid-distance
Prawn is a big, high energy boy who loves to run and cuddle. Still learning the ropes, he is a bit wary of the front of the team, but is more than happy to contribute from the back; he shows just how much power he’s worth when he slows down to take a potty break.
Radar
Birthday: September 3, 2018 – Palindrome Litter
Breeding: Bailey x Zig
Race History: 1 Iditarod, many mid-distance
Distance running came very naturally to Radar. He settled into a beautifully smooth and consistent trot at about 6 months of age, and it hasn’t changed much since then. He’s also highly intelligent and does great running in any position he’s asked to, especially lead and swing.
Rambo
Birthday: September 16, 2016 – Stallone Litter
Breeding: Bison (Raymie Redington) x Skeeter
Race History: 3 Iditarods, multiple mid-distance races
Rambo is a hard worker, whose main focus in life is running. Even when he’s not running, he seems to be daydreaming about the next run, and willing it to happen sooner rather than later. When he’s not thinking about running, Rambo likes to play with the 6-month old puppies back in the dog yard.
Raptor
Birthday: April 18, 2021 – Paleontology Litter
Breeding: Patience & Kayak
Race History: None – puppy pack
Raptor loves to play with his sister Amber when they are in the dog park, and even though he tries to keep up, he usually can’t. He loves to go on runs and typically runs best with his sister, those two are practically inseparable. We can’t wait to see what this winter holds for him!
Reuben
Birthday: May 7, 2016 – Sandwich Litter
Breeding: Suspect x Clipper
Race History: 3 Iditarods, multiple mid-distance races
Though she is very sweet and small, she’s a pro at leading the team and keeping all the big, rowdy boys in line. Quite the cuddler, she’s usually one of the first dogs picked by handlers to take home at the end of the day.
Sundance
Birthday: September 8, 2017 – Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Litter
Breeding: Kenmore x Skeeter
Race History: 1 Iditarod, multiple mid-distance races
Sundance loves to get harnessed up and go. His beautiful pink nose isn’t the only way to spot him in the team, he is also the brightest one on the team! He has done so well the past couple winters we are excited to see how far he will go!
Taz
Birthday: April 6, 2020 – Craig McMullen, The “Mac Pack”
Breeding: Kenmore x Zig
Race History: a few mid-distance
Taz is inquisitive, clever, and sweet. She tends to fly under the radar, then sneak up to snuggle you when you’re least expecting it. She is never afraid to tell you how she really feels.
Twister
Birthday: May 1, 2016 – Weather Systems Litter
Breeding: Bailey x Zig
Race History: 3 Iditarods, multiple mid-distance races
Twister’s excitement is often expressed in the form of 4-foot vertical jumps while waiting to run, and even while running. When in lead, this mighty lady will respond to commands the instant they leave your mouth.
