Togepi
LEAD DOG
The only dog more friendly and sweet than Togepi is his mom, Nori! This guy was thrown right into the role of main leader as a 2yr old, even singlie-leading one of the first races in 2025. Togepi has an exceptionally positive and fun personality that makes him a joy to have on the team!
Snorlax
Sponsored by Zoe Sax
Team dog
Snorlax's best friend in the world is Charmander, and they are happiest running together in team. Snorlax is extremely cold proof, can struggle when conditions warm up, you will often see him diving into the snow to cool down! He is very happy and easy going - and the basis of our hill climbing power!

Charmander
Charmander aka "Charmie"Â is one of the two largest dogs on the team, adding incredible strength and drive. Despite his size, Charmie is a total mommy's boy - very sensitive and a little awkward! He is always going to give it his all, but wants to know he's doing a good job - he has that big sensitive jock energy!
Team DogÂ
Zubat
Lead dogÂ
Even as a puppy, Zubat has had a weirdly serious personality. Sometimes she seems like an old lady in a young dog's body. Seriousness aside, Zubat is a very sweet dog, protective of the ones she loves, and a good leader. She is the mom of the "Blues Babies" born 10/2025.
RaichuÂ
Team dog
Although she is shy with strangers, once she decides you are her friend, Raichu is the sweetest girl around. She prefers to run behind other dogs, often in wheel, keeping her family in sight on the trail and giving the team a power boost with her strength!

Chucky
Since he was a pup, Chucky has been a very focused dog. He led all 140 miles of the first race he ever ran, and is a total sweetheart to boot. I couldn't be more excited to see Chucky continue developing into an incredible leader for the team.
LEAD DOG
Jigsaw
team Dog
Jigsaw is a sweet and sensitive jock type. He has big feelings but is also very brave (if you define that as doing things even when you're scared!). He has his pack and can be more nervous to warm up to strangers. But once he does there is no sweeter guy around than Jigsaw! No doubt he will continue to develop into a thoughtful and super strong team dog.
Carrie
Sponsored by Sally VandenBerg
A sweet, happy girl. Carrie is the second best snuggler at the kennel (first is her mom, Nori). She is very large for a female, and did incredibly well her yearling season. Carrie seems like a goofball most of the time, but has incredible focus and drive once the miles stack up on the trail. I am incredibly excited to keep watching Carrie develop as a sled dog!

Annabelle
team dogÂ
This girl is as sweet as can be, but totally turns it on with intensity on the trail... Annabelle has main leader potential that I can't wait to explore this winter! High hopes for this girl.
SingletonsÂ
Emu
Team dogÂ
Emu was one of my first sled dogs, "borrowed" from Dew Claw Kennel in 2023. She fit in so well that she was sort of just never returned. Emu is a very funny dog with a sweet and kooky personality. She has an incredible gait and prefers to run in team surrounded by her friends. Emu has been a core part of the team since the very beginning!
Very special dogs who weren't born at the kennel, but found their way to me.Â
Smokey
Sponsored by the Lucky Horse
Team Dog
Smokey may have a screw or two loose, but he is a total sweetie at heart and one of my favorite dogs. He can be pretty wild in the dog yard, but camping, travelling, and racing are his favorite things. He is totally relaxed and happy on the trail, where he shines. He can lead when called upon, but prefers to run confidently in team.

NoriÂ
main leader
Nori is without a doubt one of the very best dogs out there! She is my main leader, and the mother or grandmother of the entire team. An incredible sled dog, and equally incredible companion. Loving, strong, and as sweet as they come. Nori is the foundation of the entire team.
Blues Babies
Furry LewisÂ
Yearling
Furry Lewis and his sister, Jelly Roll were the first puppies born at my new place in Goldstream. They are my "new start" puppies! Furry has a very relaxed and calm personality, acting way older than his age! Furry is a bit more reserved than his sister. I can't wait to see how he does on the trail this winter.
Jelly Roll

yearling
JellyRoll and her brother, FurryLewis were the first puppies born at my new place in Goldstream. They are my "new start" puppies! Jelly is a little firecracker and one of the smallest huskies I have seen. Her personality is huge, and I wouldn't be surprised to have this girl already running up in the front of the team this winter.

Guava

This guy is as sweet as they come, and growing HUGE! Guava is always happy, and I can't wait to see how he does on the team this winter with the big dogs.

Mango
Mango is super smart and very wiggly. Also a total sweetheart who already loves to pull and be out front, I can't wait to see what this girl will do!
