Jr. North americans next

  Hi everyone. We have been home training. Rachel has been working to make a new front end for her team out of what ever leaders she can find.  We  have females coming into season faster than we can count them. This is really changing things. Rachel might have to run all males and Ben all females or something like that. It is near imposible to mix any females that are in season with males in the same team with out a big problem. Ben and Rachel do not need any accidental breedings while in the middle of their race.

  Natty just had six pups last night four males and two females. Nice litter. Unfortunately it was unplanned. She had ate her way threw a fence to get at a male. The male happened to be Spare. Spare has bred many of our females to produce some of our best dogs and dogs that have been successful in the quest and iditorod.  So as far as Spare goes he seems to be somewhat proven as a sire. Natty is from excellent breeding and is very tough headed.  What a eater and drinker. Never misses anything to eat ever. She may be a little on the small size. Spare usually produces nice size dogs so the pups should be a good size. 

  We did some small training runs at slow speeds to maintain the teams during our time at home and the teams look ready to travel to Fairbanks for the Junior North American Championships.  I will try and update the blog from Fairbanks. Talk to you later.
