For the past 3 seasons KP has led every training run and every race. For 2 of those race seasons he had the full responsibility of leading every mile of every race. That is almost 2000 race miles! Not to mention our average of 3500 training miles per season. KP loves the role of lead dog. He is so strong he works harder than he needs to, but his drive is intense and he gives more than his all. Kingpin is an interesting dynamic of big goofball, lover boy, intense race dog, cautious of strangers and super leader. Kingpin reminds me of his great-grandpa Commander, one of my dad's winning Yukon Quest leaders, and one of the most special dogs I've ever worked with, because he had a tremendous personality and he was a tremendous athlete. He was born with an intense drive and focus that shined as a yearling. KP is one of the fastest trotters in the kennel and watching him on "cruise control" is a beautiful thing. KP is fiercely loyal, loves to please, and is highly intelligent. Kingpin led in every race and led every mile in the 2018 and 2019 seasons. He loves to give big hugs and make strong eye contact, a real lover boy!
