Sheβs almost 12! After she went on every single training run with the team, Q decided to bring her even if she only went to the first checkpoint. Sheβs been leading the whole way so far and looks like sheβs having a blast π
No denying an animalβs willingness. As a mere human, I am humbled to imagine that kind of willingness. And I donβt even think of myself as a wimpβ¦but stillβ¦jeesh.
She is, she was REALLY a phenom young leader, had all basic βcommandsβ down very young and led our second team for a couple races, we sold her to Bravermountain towards end of two year old season as was just shy of making our top 10 but thankfully she has thrived and been a great asset for BMβ€οΈ
Was she not the best fit for your team because of her speed or??? The reasoning about which dog is best for what place on the team, which kind of team, and so on is so interesting.
She was a kennel favorite but did get a little tired a few runs. Pepe absolutely by no means slow and led 2 1st place finishes for our second team but even a half mile per hour can make a difference in a dogβs endurance over a certain distance.
Iβm not advocating for this because ethics, but the idea of mixing some African wild dog genetics into Alaskan huskies is an interesting thought experiment
Awww! I love this. When Blair ran and everyone went bleral I was reading posts to my 98 year old mother and she said, "I'd like to donate too." We were calling her the oldest uglydog. π
Oh! I remember this! I loved you telling us about her. What a sweetheart! Iβm sorry for your loss. Her memory lives on because you shared her with us. β€οΈ
My mom is 78 and insisted that I order her a BraverMountain Iditarod 2025 hoodie to support the team and give her an easy way to tell people about them (and because she loves the artwork on it). Weβre planning to join the #IGiveARod tomorrow!

Zoomiest, too.
Weβve been discussing #UglyDogs lore for about half an hour.
