Arrow-2001 |
M |
Arrow is a hard driving, hard working guy with loads of drive! At 8 yrs. old still one of our hardest dogs to harness, just a wild man! He is another great puppy trainer, especially good for keeping feisty ones in line as he tolerates no nonsense and will quickly put an errant pup in its place:) An all-around great dog! |

Bandit-2002 (L) |
M |
We took in Bandit and two other dogs, Rita and Roxy, as their owner could no longer afford to care for them. Bandit runs lead with Rita on our trips as she helps keep him in line and focused. He is a ladies man, and finds marking trees and sniffing the girls very distracting:) He is a sweet dog, very friendly with us but very shy with strangers. |

|
Bata-1998 |
M |
Bata is a big polar bear of a dog. We acquired him from Cliff Wang as a 2 or 3 yr. old as I don't know his exact date of birth. He is a stout, barrel chested dog with a very thick coat that can make him overheat easier then our other dogs. Never very fast but steady and focused, he raced on my second Beargrease team and did very well. He has always been a very hard worker, but is in his semi-retirement years having slowed down quite a bit. |

Boris-1997 (L) |
M |
Boris is one of our old timers that is semi-retired, but is still running well, just at a slightly slower pace:) I bought him from Cliff Wang at the age of four, and he has been one of our most dependable, no-nonsense dogs ever! He is shy and cares only to eat and pull, runs well in any position. He has raced with me in several mid-distance Beargrease's, including my first Beargrease, as well as other shorter races like Apostle Islands. He also ran in the Iditarod in 2001, before Cliff got him. Never a fast dog, but strong and steady. He just goes, no matter what. Incredible dog, wish we had more like him! |

Matrix-2007 (L) |
M |
Wild man! Chipped my tooth with his canine as a pup! The biggest of this phenomenal litter, he is an incredible, driving machine! A big goofball! This dog is awesome!! He is running in lead like a pro, focused and tearing up the trail with a maniacal gleam in his eye:) |
Elrond-2004 |
Tulsa-2000 |
Joanna Oberg |
|
Mocha-2003 |
F |
Mocha is from John Stetson's kennel and is a pretty good team or wheel dog. I tend to run her in wheel as she gets distracted easily by dogs behind her. She is one of those dogs that is a ditsy blonde... very sweet but not the brightest bulb on the block:) |
  |   |

Phantom-2002 |
M |
Hard driving, super fast, strong dog! Always gives his all, phenomenal dog, one of our BEST! |
Ceaser-1996 |
Tilly |
Joanna Oberg |
|
Pirate-2007 (L) |
M |
Sweet eyed boy that hammers his chain, wants to go somewhere now! Has already broken off two of our new posts! For not being a big dog, that is pretty impressive. Quite the lover boy, this one is a charmer! Outstanding drive and focus, only drawback is a bit of attitude towards his running mate. Already running in lead and showing great promise! |
Elrond-2004 |
Tulsa-2000 |
Joanna Oberg |
|
Pretty-2002 |
F |
Not for sale - changed mind:) Pretty is a streamlined looking dog and she's fast and smooth! Raced in the Beargrease and Apostle Islands with me. Pulls better going fast then slow. Very personable and friendly with people, although she can be a little feisty with other females. She loves to jump into your arms and have you catch her:) |
Ceaser-1996 |
Tilly |
Joanna Oberg |
|
Radar-2003 (L) |
M |
My main man, this is the guy that is the driving force on my racing team! Top notch command leader and lake leader(when there is no trail), responds instantly, very smart just a super dog! |
Diesel |
Tulsa-2000 |
Joanna Oberg |
|
Raj-2000 (L) |
M |
A leggy, good natured, high attitude dog, Raj is from mainly Chuck Gould bloodlines, and has been a hard driving, hard working husky no matter the conditions. He has raced in several mid-distance Beargrease's with me and did well. He is just an all-around good dog! |
  |   | Joanna Oberg |
|
Raven-2009 |
F |
A bigger female with striking markings, thicker coated then the other females. She is very nice! |
Stryder-2002 |
Sparrow-2004 |
Joanna Oberg |
|
Rita-2005 (L) |
F |
We took in Rita and her sister Roxy, and another dog Bandit, because their owner could no longer afford to care for them. Rita is very shy and skittish, but she runs a pretty good lead and is a hard worker. She does well on our trips and hopefully will come to trust us more over time. |
  |   |
|
|
Rocky-1998 |
M |
Rocky, also known as "The Rock", for his steady reliability, is another great dog we acquired from Cliff Wang at the age of 2 or 3... again not knowing his exact date of birth. A mellow guy, he is all business when he is in harness. He has raced with me quite a bit, and has always been a dog I could depend on and never have to worry about. He was always doing his job and striving to keep his tug tight, even when the pace got a little fast for him as he got older. He has raced 3 of my 4 Beargrease races, as well as Apostle Islands and a few others. Other then sometimes trying to be a ladies man, he is a super dog, one I wish I could clone! |
  |   |
|
|
Roxy-2005 |
F |
We took in Roxy along with her sister Rita and another dog Bandit, as their owner could no longer afford to care for them. Roxy is a very large female, as big or bigger then some of our males! She is a very strong, hard worker and has gotten better about pacing herself. |
  |   |
|
|
Sassy-2000 (L) |
F |
Sassy has been a dependable lead dog for us for many years. She has raced several Beargrease's with me, along with her brother Raj, and ran lead for me in one of them. Also ran lead in the Apostle Islands race. She is a great dog, very focused and hardworking, although her only fault is she can be aggressive towards other females at times. She has been a great puppy trainer for us, and is especially good at keeping other feisty young dogs in line:) |

Siskin-2009 |

Siskin has a thicker coat as well, looks like she should be a nice sized female, is already very strong! Excited to see them mature! |
Stryder-2002 |
Sparrow-2004 |
Joanna Oberg |
|
Sparrow-2004 (L) |
F |
Sparrow is a very playful, sweet girl with endless energy. Never seems to tire, very heat tolerant, and is always raring to go, even when there is no bottom to the trail. She is developing into a nice lake leader and is gaining in confidence. Doing great passing other teams and is one of my main leaders! |
RICKY-2000 |
DARLA-2001 |
Doug Swingley |
|
Stealth-2007 |
F |
The biggest female, she is another outstanding performer out of the movie litter! They all just lope and lope along as if its nothing. Can't wait to race these guys! |
Elrond-2004 |
Tulsa-2000 |
Joanna Oberg |
|
Sting-2003 |
M |
Need a saddle for this guy! He is a horse! The only dog in the litter who is not a leader, he makes up for it with his strong attitude, always screaming to go! Another power-house, likes tough going. Other then pulling, eating is his favorite thing to do, he just inhales and its gone. A very vocal, talkative guy, he is a character:) |
Diesel |
Tulsa-2000 |
Joanna Oberg |

Stryder-2002 |
M |
Smooth gaited, fast, hard driving dog. I have yet to see this dog tired. Been on my racing team since he was a yearling. He excels at any distance, short, long, doesn't matter. Always focused, always consistent, always ON! One of the BEST in our kennel! |

Fast, hard working little girl with loads of drive! Very shy/insecure, needs to be run with another confidant leader. Great lake leader, super responsive on commands. |

JR & Anna Anderson |
|
Tok-1997 (L) |
M |
Tok we bought as a pup from Raymie Redington on vacation to Alaska to visit relatives almost 12 years ago now. Tok is now retired... I thought he could maybe do some short runs this year but he just can't. Very sad to see as his heart wants to do it but his body won't follow through:( He was a tough, hard working dog, and preferred to run single lead as he didn't like to share the trail with anyone! Though we rarely have dog fights, Tok has been in his share of them... neutering and age have only mellowed him a little. Very dominant, he thinks he is the KING of the dog yard and probably still is:) |

Tulsa-2000 (L) |
F |
My main leader, fast, strong, always driving, gives 200%! Just amazing! Words cannot begin to describe how much this girl means to me! She is one the best leaders I have ever owned, and has produced some excellent leaders! |
RAMBO |
CAT |
Doug Swingley |
|
Valiant-2008 |
M |
This is one happy dog! His tail has been wagging since he was born:) Can be hard to keep weight on as he runs on his chain almost nonstop. Incredible high attitude, just lopes and lopes, always barking to go! Has run lead some... Can't wait to race these guys!! |
Lazer-2001 |
Haley-2006 |
Joanna Oberg |
|
Xander-2003 (L) |
M |
Easily one of the strongest dogs in the kennel, this guy is powerful! Driving trot but will easily switch to a lope. Huge asset in big hills or deep snow! Turning into a good leader although not as comfortable in that position yet:) |
Diesel |
Tulsa-2000 |
Joanna Oberg |

Yelana-2003 (L) |
F |
Yelana is a hard driving leader for us on our trips. Her only fault is that she can sometimes be a chewer if not watched. |
Diesel |
