Dominant, outspoken, opinionated, and EVIL are probably the most often used words to describe Olena. Yet, despite it - well, probably because of it, she is among my very favorites in the yard.  She is a dog full of contradictions - ridiculously confident and hard driving -  very sweet and loving to people - and a fabulous Mom to her pups.

She has never managed to finish an Iditarod with me, but she is a asset to any team she is a member of for any time she is in it. She is absolutely DRIVEN in harness. But perhaps her greatest contribution to the kennel is the next generation she is providing us with. Her children are some of the brightest stars in the future of the kennel.
We are so grateful to Natalie for selling this sparkplug to us!
