Sky Time.

Sky is the oldest one of the group.  He will be 9 yrs in a few weeks.  But he still runs like a pup!  Sky is probably the loudest and one of the most excited to get out on the trail. I find myself paying close attention to his gait, mainly body language.  I constantly consider retiring him into normal house dog, I dont think he'd have anything to do with that.  In fact I think he would get depressed to the point where it would do him bad than good hanging out in retirement. There are times during a tour where I can tell he's a little fatigued than the rest of his brothers and sisters. At that point I just un-hook him and let him run free.  It's good for Sky and the team.  They both chase each other down and it creates a more exciting tour for our guests!

Karma

Karma started her winter season yesterday!! We had a solid tour in the morning that Karma was not in.  She felt a little left out. When we finished our tour, we gave the team about a 20 min break, hooked Karma on and went off for another run.  She did amazing.  Caught on really well! Karma is currently paired with Harley.  They seem to be working well with each other.  She's def has some lead potential.Im excited to see how the season unfold for her.

Harley

Harley, husky/ shepherd mix, is new to the pack.  She just started to run on the touring team after a short training period. Harley is showing a lot of promise as a sled dog. Never a dull moment with her.  Today Dec, 10 was her first tour, and absolutely rocked it.  She isn’t currently paired with another dog but will soon have sky as her running buddy.  She learns super fast and at this rate it’s just a matter of getting her fit.  Im sure this life is something epic for her, but at the same time has a “Zen”” approach to her running.  It’s strong and fluid. Conserving energy and using wisely through out her tour.  Im stoked to see how the season unfolds for her!

Mika

Mika.  My main lead dog.  This dog will run crazy fast, and crazy long. During the winter she is always reliable and consistent, always keeping the other dogs on track and on course.  In the summer, Mika will run anywhere from 6-20 miles a days through Park City's mountains.  She's definitely the best training partner I've had in a while.  There was a week strait were we would run to the top of Jupiter Peak (summit that goes up to 9,998 ft.  Awesome.  This season Mika has not run due to a injury.  She is recovering fast and will be back on the trails soon!!!

Wild Fire

Wild fire is a purebred Siberian Husky,  He came into our family from a great, loving family that could no longer keep him. His first year running was a little rough.  He had a little difficult time getting fit.  Throughout the season, Wild Fire had a steady build up running 2-4 miles a day, to eventually running 8-10 miles at a solid clip toward the end of the season. Wild Fire runs along side, Goof.  He's probably the most relaxed dog on the team.  Although, he does go crazy when we start hooking the team up!

This season, Wild Fire has shown some good effort.  He's def on e of the stronger dogs on the team.  So..more pressure to preform well :)
