Sled Dog Team

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!

Our Bear

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 is a wheel dog on the team.

Homemade cookies,
Yea!

Chena

Mmmm Good cookies

Chena

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

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 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.

Man That Was a Fun Run!

Foxy

And Visitors, GREAT!

Glacier

Glacier

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.

Kachina

Posing with my good side

Kachina

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....

Neyomok

He has boundless
energy and wants to run
with the big dogs !
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.

Where are we going?

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

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.

Ruby

Tatiana

Come On' Down Her to My Level!

Tatiana

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.

Tatiana

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

Hey - Did Neo just see a squirrel?

Tearsa
