The Dogs

the RACE TEAM

These dogs make up my active race pool for 6-dog sled and rig races. As the season progresses, these are the dogs that are typically running further and faster, which separates them from the B Team dogs.

the B Team

These dogs are active in harness, but may not run at the same level as the race team above. My B Team consists of dogs who prefer slower speeds, shorter distances, or generally less intense runs. The pace of this team is ideal for older dogs easing into retirement or younger dogs first learning the ropes. It’s also beneficial for dogs recovering from injuries to ramp back up.

Retirees

When our dogs get older, they usually tell us when it’s time to hang up the harness. In my experience, this usually happens when their age reaches the double-digits. No matter when they retire, they stay with us, and remain a big part of the pack for the rest of their lives.

In Memoriam

Dogs who have earned their silver harness and are traveling the trails of the great beyond.
