Puppies!
Here are a couple planned litters to build the team in the coming years.
Retired dogs:
 Archer*Archer has been adopted by Erica Archer is the smartest leader we have. He is also one of the smallest dogs in the kennel. Although he is small he is mighty and works hard. Archer has one of the most competitive sides I have ever seen. He loves racing and has won the Beargrease Marathon, Kobuk 440 and the Gunflint (4 years in a row). |
