The senior citizens are enjoying their retirement.
Always happy to please, Krisi is a hard working sled dog, and in the off-season is a wonderful Junior Handling dog.
Keetukka's Midnight Runner "Kara" Kara, shown here at age 11 had a shaky start in life. At just 8 months old, (and unknown to us) she ran away from her owners, who didn't bother to look for her. She survived in the bush for nearly month, and although she hung around the yard of Sheri Stobe, she was initially too fearful to let Sheri get close. Finally, Sheri was able to coax her in close (the offer of food to a hungry puppy was too much to resist). Sheri was able to identify her through her tattoo...and contacted us. The owners didn't care, and were willing to sign Kara over to Sheri....where she has lived happily for the past 10 years. Kara still periodically lives up to her registered name, and takes a tour of the countryside.
Now all grown up, GiGi tackled motherhood in 2005. Meet Suki on our Today's Stars page.
Ch. Keetukka's Polar Iced Kyan "Kyan" In October 2005, Kyan went to live for the winter with Mark & Laurie Millions to learn to be a sled dog.....he took to it right away and was in his first 20 mile race just 3 months later. Kyan just needs one more race to complete the requirements for his Sled Dog (S.D.) title. Kyan continues to be the perfect Junior Handling dog and is now working in obedience & Rally O.
Kola came to live with us in October 2005, having been retired from racing. After a couple months of "show training", Kola, who turned 8 years of age in June 2006, entered his first conformation show in April 2006 under the expert guidance of his handler, Tanice Hindle.....and in just 3 weekends had achieved his Championship. Kola has taken to being a pampered house dog like a duck to water and loves the attention, the people, the grooming.....and particularly the bait! The photo above is of Kola strutting his stuff at age 10 years.
Kavik, shown here at age 8, has owned and loved Sheri Stobe since he was a small puppy. This friendly, and outgoing boy is the spitting image of his dad, Mufaussa. We hope to get him trained and groomed up and introduce him to the dog show scene this year....it's NEVER too late to start being a "show dog"!!!!!
