| Bear is one of the 3 dogs we use in the native traditional side by side team. We affectionately call the them the fluffies as you can see by his beautiful long coat. |
| Bear is a sweet and loving dog. He is also known for his hugs. And if Baronof doesn't get what we call his lap time he gets very depressed and won't eat. He is also pretty strong about what he wants to do so he doesn't get the job of lead dog. But he is very happy to help the team along His nick name is Bear, he just loves to gives big bear hugs |
| He is so cute how could you resist? |
| Bear |
| See - I knew you couldn't resist |
| Please just one more hug! |

| I may be shy, but doesn't it look good on me? Casa |
| Casa is about the biggest of the girls but she is also the shyest of the team. But once she does make friends with you she will always be happy to see you. She too would prefer to help the team in any position accept the lead. |
| Homemade cookies, Yea! Casa |
| My turn for a hug Casa |
| I am the Mommy, I should get double the cookies, Please??? Chena |
| Mmmm Good cookies Chena |
| Chena is a full bred Mackenzie River Husky and the lovely mother of the team members except for Neyomok. She was quite happy to provide the puppies for the team, and has since decided on a self imposed retirement from mushing on the big team, but does enjoy going out with a couple dogs. She still likes to boss everyone around. Her favorite spot is in front of the heater and enjoys her daily run on the beach with Daddy-Chris. She is very friendly and likes to greet all the visitors who come to the Husky Ranch |
| Don't I look innocent? OK, who told? Chena |
| OH LOOK, Visitors! Chena |
| I'll be Your Lead Dog if You Give Me a Treat! Foxy |
| Did Someone Say Cookies? Foxy |
| Foxy is our smallest, but feistiest dog on the team. She makes up for her size with her enthusiastic attitude and strong determination. She is a lead dog and feels glorified in her position. She also does well running in a three dog team side by side in the traditional native style team with her sisters, Ruby and Tearsa, that are similar in size. At times she has been a bit to proud and determined and had to be put in another position on the team. You can see right away she is unhappy with it and ready to behave. She also loves to meet everyone. |
| Oh please, my turn to be Lead Dog Foxy |
| Man That Was a Fun Run! Foxy |
| And Visitors, GREAT! Glacier |
| Always ready for cookies! Glacier |
| This guy is truly an impressive sight weighing in at about 130 lbs. His size is surely misleading, he is very friendly and a favorite among the children. His beautiful blue eyes and quiet nature invites everyone to pet and hug him. With his strength and size he has the position of wheel dog to help direct the turning of the sled. |
| Ok I Cant take it,oh please, I'm over here pet me! pet me! Glacier |
| Just playing it cool Glacier |
| Are We Ready to Go Mushing? Kachina |
| Kachina Posing with my good side Kachina |
| Kachina has boundless energy and likes lots of attention, she also likes to give lots of kisses. She is partnered up with Glacier as a wheel dog, but she loves mushing so much she doesn't care what position she has as long as she is getting to go. She is tall and long legged and visitors have said how much she resembles her wolf cousins. KaChena is an escape artist. She is the first to break through the fence and the last to come home. |
| Boy Was That Bag of Cookies Good! Kachina |
| I swear I didn't break through the fence.... Kachina |
| Squirrel? Did You Say squirrel? Neyomok |
| What did you say? Neyomok |
| This little guy is about 2 years old and is not as experienced as the rest of the team. He has boundless energy and wants to run with the big dogs but he only wants to run to Mommy-Darlene! Neyomok is very competitive and doesn't want any other dog-teams, bicyclists or cars to pass him. He had visions of grandeur of someday being an Iditarod Champion. Go Neo! He has acquired the nick name hopper because he gets so excited to mush he leaps and lunges into the air, over other dogs, trying to get the team going. The faster the better according to him. He is a devoted companion but needs lots of outlets for all that energy. |
| MOM, where are you going? Neyomok |
| Ok, no squirrel, Don't leave with out me . Neyomok |
| Ok, NOW you have my attention Raven |
| Visitors? Raven |
| Raven isn't as big as her brother Glacier but she is definitely fluffier. She is one of 3 dogs that have the longer hair. We usually put them together on the 3 dog team and they make quite a perfect picture. She tends to be a bit shy but with a face like this you can't help but love her. She loves her job as team dog and is a very willing runner. She is usually in the position just behind the lead dog, running next to anyone but Ruby . |
| Ok, just playing it cool Raven |
| reeeaaaly coool Raven |
| just playing hard to get Ruby |
| did some one say cookie? Ruby |
| Ruby is one of the smallest dogs on the team who was shy and timid as a puppy but is gaining confidence and is now ready to take on the world, or at least her big sister Raven! For some reason Ruby and Raven do not like each other and are continually arguing with each other through the fence. We thought Raven was the instigator because she is bigger, but we soon found out it was Ruby's big attitude that starts the disputes. Ruby is a hard worker on the team, she puts her head down and pulls hard. She is very serious about what she's doing. |
| Oh no, here comes Raven!!! Ruby |
| 15 laps and ready for a nap Ruby |
| Tatiana's Always Smiling Tatiana |
| Come On' Down to My Level! Tatiana |
| Tatiana is our best lead dog, as well as being part of the 3 dog team we affectionately call the fluffies. She loves being out front and does a good job of listening and performing her duties. It takes a very special dog to perform this task well. Tatiana is our most mischievous dog and has gotten the nick name "Naughty-Taughty". She is a slipper thief and is always trying to get the pack worked up about something! She is not shy and loves to meet new people. |
| did you get my good side? Tatiana |
| being bashful Tatiana |
| in her famous pet me pose Tearsa |
| waiting for her harness Tearsa |
| Tearsa-Joy is very sweet and hard working. She is as steady as they come as far as mushing goes. She loves to be petted and once you start, she will keep reminding you with her paw that you should keep on petting her! Tearsa is a sock thief. We know she has a sock when she bolts for the door with her head down and tries to get outside before we notice. |
| Pleeeease just let me loose so I can play with Neo's squirrel! Tearsa |
| Hey - Did Neo just see a squirrel? Tearsa |
| No Squirrels were harmed in making this web site Our Friend the Squirrel |
