Ch. The Professor of NorthWapiti CD, SDU, TT
'Spud' is one of our main leaders. Although he will be 8 1/2 by Iditarod, will still count
on him being on our team.
Spud has been
sponsored by R & D Brown of Burlington, Ontario. Thanks guys! |
Ch. NorthWapiti's Mr. Thurston Howl SDU
A brother to Spud, Buddy, and Gilligan 'Howl' is also a leader.
Truly one of the most serious working sled dogs I have ever met! He lives to work!

NorthWapiti's Little Buddy SDU
Everyone always asks which dog is my 'favorite'. Well this
one is Karen's favorite. A wonderful leader - driving Buddy is like having power steering
- and a true friend!
Buddy has been sponsored
by one of the few people in the world that he truly loves - Jim Murray of Calgary,
Alberta. Jim is Karen's brother - Thanks Jim! |
NorthWapiti's Gilligan SD
'Gilligan' bounced through 2 homes
before deciding to permenantly coming back to live with us. The last 2 years he has really
proven how lucky for us that was. Leading for a good part of the past 2 race season. A
popular dog because of his wonderful copper coloring!

The Flying Nun of NorthWapiti
'Sissy' is one of my few female
leaders. A little shy with strangers, but a bossy confident gal in harness.
|
NorthWapiti's Butch Cassidy SD
We often refer to 'Butchie' as our 'scud missile'. With him in
lead - you know that you are going somewhere FAST - you are just not certain where it is
you are going! We are busy fine tuning his leading skills for Iditarod!

Butchie is happy to be
sponsored by his favorite junior mushers - Lyndsay, Jennifer, and Andrew Ramstead of
Colinton, Alberta. Thanks guys!

a 'pact' together - vowing they are going to Nome together!
-
Doc sends thanks to
Cooper, Corrine, Wilson, Brian and Nadine Ramstead of Kirkland, Washington for sponsoring
him! He's worried that if the family gets any bigger before Iditarod that he will need a
bigger harness :)

shown us over the years - we would not be in a position to run Iditarod. Thank you so much
guys!

'Smiley' is a good looking happy
team dog. Puts on a huge 'performance' when he gets left in the yard for a training run!
|
NorthWapiti's Super Grover
One of the best things about our trip to Minnesota was discovering
this boy's ability to lead! When he was put into lead, the look on his face seemed to say
'it is about time!'. It was!
|
NorthWapiti's Mr. Snuffleupagus
'Gus' is just starting to work in
lead, but it sure seems to be his favorite place in the team.
|

sponsor Sammie!

Spud, and Gilligan will carry on her legacy in harness. Still early in his training, he is
proving he has what it takes!
|
NorthWapiti's Draco

'Lacey' spend some time in a sprint
kennel, but recently came to us to try her hand at distance. So far - so good!
|
Chuchinka's Pathfinder
There is just not enough I can say about 'Chester'. When we first
met him at 5 weeks of age - we just knew he was a born leader. At 2 he is already living
up to that promise. Confident and fearless - he is a special boy!
|

'Manny' is a recent (and handsome)
