AkiraOur first Siberian Husky, she was such a bad puppy we almost named her Diablo Doggie. Mother of Howler, Lothar, BB, Five Toes and Rinky (after a tryst with Loki!). She also has the absolute worst howl in the whole world!
|
AngelAn exceedingly shy dog, she came from Nature’s Kennel in the U.P. She'll hide in her house if you come to visit. Not a great sled dog but she keeps on plugging along. She’s the one with the low mournful howl; we’re pretty sure she’s calling for Jacob.

|
BBThe gentlest of all our dogs, he's a real sweetie, great with people and likes to get really close up. Also loves to eat dirt!
|
FishOne of the 3 Amigos, his brothers Harvey and Knight also came from Nature’s Kennel. Easily recognizable because Harold bit off half of his tail one day.
|
|
|
Five ToesNamed after her fifth toe. Hey, when you have a bunch of dogs you sometimes lose your naming touch.
|
HaroldThe result of a one-time tryst between Howler and Doris. I had wanted to name him Fjord but was overruled.
|
|
|
HarveyThe largest dog in the kennel, possibly even North America. He’s actually developed into an exceptional lead dog. He digs holes big enough so when he lays in them you can’t see him – which given his size, is quite an accomplishment.
|
HowlerHe’s Howler – what more can you say. The women all love him, and the men envy (and secretly admire) him. He’ll pee on your pee until you pass out (ask Rick about this).
|
|
|
KnightThe biggest baby in the kennel. Barks too much, howls too much and is afraid of noise. A perfect wheel dog because he is big and dumb.
|
LokiThe patriarch of the Siberians, he was our second Siberian. A very gentle dog, he usually looks like he’s high.
|
|
|
LotharThe Biter. Stay away from him. If you get close he will bite you, drag you under his house and feed on you periodically. Pretty sure Jimmy Hoffa is buried under his house but the FBI is too frightened to look there.
|
NikOne of our rescue dogs and one of our first sled dogs. Nik is a superstar sled dog – for about 1.5 miles. After that he pulls for 100 feet and coasts for a 100 feet. He’s turned into a very sweet dog.

PapaAlso from Nature’s Kennel he is a no-nonsense dog. Doesn’t complain and gives you everything he’s got. Nickname: Papadopoulos
|
RinkyRinky Dinky is very stinky. She’s our little sick puppy. Wasn’t breathing when she was born but a little rubbing with a towel and blowing in her mouth and she was fine. You’ll be fine, just walk it off!
|
|
|
RosamundaAnother rescue dog, her bark is much worse than her bite. We have two Rosie’s – Good Rosie and Bad Rosie. This one is Bad Rosie. Doesn’t really like people very much – just her rescue family.
|
RosieAlso from Nature’s Kennel, her brother is Shad. The smallest of our dogs she often runs lead with Harvey which is quite a sight. I call her the George Bush of lead dogs – very confident of her decisions but is seldom correct. Hey, it’s funny!
|

|
ShadThe celebrity of the kennel he is an Iditarod finisher from Nature’s Kennel. Now he just sits on his house acting all superior and signing autographs. He’s thinking about starting his own Web site.
|
SmokeyHowler’s other off-spring and Harold’s sister. Her favorite activity is digging holes and barking at them. We have no idea what that’s all about.
