$250

Cheerio loves kids, people, and attention. Her and her sisters are among the favorite dogs of our tour guests. Cheerio doesn't like lead so much, but she does well in the team. She's a very easy to manage dog, gets along with everyone, and would be great for a beginning musher.

Lucky Charm, female, born 8-15-2006

$250

Lucky Charm is just that, quite a charmer! She has a fabulous personality and loves attention. Her and her sisters are among the favorite dogs of our tour guests.

Ontario, male, born 7-18-2005

$150

Ontario is a wonderful, sweet dog. His brother, Erie, is on Ed's 2008 Iditarod team, and sister, Clair, and brother, Superior, are with Jake's Iditarod team. He's a very submissive male, and thrives on positive reinformcent. He's a big, leggy, and strong pulling dog.

Cassie, female, born 7-27-04

Sponge Bob (on left in photo), male, born 7-9-05

$300

Bob is a great young sled dog. He works really hard and has become a very nice leader on our tours. He finished in the UP 200 with Bouie in 2007. He's very social and well liked by all the other dogs.

Butter, female, born 5-17-2000

$300 SOLD

Butter is an amazing leader, mutliple Iditarod finisher, and all around great dog. She is in need of a semi-retirement home. She can certainly still be a sled dog and would be a great training leader. She can be a bit stubborn, but don't let her fool you, she DOES know gee and haw!

Sage, female, born 5-12-04

$300 SOLD

Sage is a nice large female who works really hard in harness. She is an inconsistent leader, but I think she knows what to do up there! Her brothers, Dill and Wyler were on Jake's 2008 Iditarod team. She has a great personality and is a very smart dog.
