Bass (think music, not fish): M, DOB
9/8/97 – Susan Butcher breeding. I purchased Bass as a started
leader from Jeff King in December 2001 and he quickly became the main
“go to” dog in my kennel. Bass is not the fastest dog,
but he is utterly reliable and there is absolutely no quit in him.
We have had numerous adventures and I trust him implicitly. He has
trained my new crop of leaders. Bass was the star of the 2006 Iditarod
team, running all the gnarly portions of the trail in single lead.
Neither ice, high winds, blowing snow, blown in trail, or blizzard
conditions deterred this great leader. Bass is now semi-retired. I’ll
let him run with the main team as long as he wants, but his new task
is to learn how to hold down the floor in front of the couch.
7 of 9: F, DOB April 1997 – John
Barron breeding – leader. I purchased 7 when I first started
to build a racing team in September 1998. John didn’t really
want to sell her – as a yearling she was running swing on his
main race team – but I sweet talked John into it and have never
regretted it. 7 is a smooth sweet dog, rather shy, but totally devoted
to me. She isn’t a strong dominant leader to train others and
go through tough situations on her own, but is a very steady leader
and always seems to make the guys she’s running with happier
and stronger with her presence. She is very much a team player. 7
of 9 is mother to Picard and Kira (now with Bonnie Foster) and grandmother
to Bass’ pups. Seven is a funny girl. Bonnie and I both tried
to make a house dog out of her, but she doesn’t like change
and wasn’t happy. So she will live out her days in the kennel,
and is now her usual shy, but happy self.
