Congratulations to Jan Andersson from Canada! Jan is a fan of Olivia – super-model, super-leader and super-mom!

Olivia is known to us as “Big O”; like how you might call someone who is 6ft, 5in “Tiny”, but she is big in personality and talent.

Olivia ran as far as Manley in the Iditarod before returning to the kennel with us in the truck. I snapped this pic of her (right) as she started the race in Fairbanks. She’s running with Sandy in the wheel position.

Olivia is always one of the most enthusiastic dogs on the starting line. Many a picture of the team lined up ready to go has her on her hind legs, screaming to go. Check out the great pic below from the start of the 2013 Iditarod by Donna Dewhurst Photography!

And yes, the draw is random, it is just a happy co-incidence the algorithm chose Olivia!

Jan wins an Iditarod goodie pack including a fridge magnet, pencil, car decal sticker, bookmark signed by Aliy and Allen and a couple of patches, along with a winner’s certificate.


We’d never really describe Big O as “laid back” (picture: Donna Dewhurst); the Iditarod goodie-pack

Thanks to all our Dog Fan Club members! We have another scheduled draw next Friday, March 20th and everyone who hasn’t already won and all new members will be in the draw to win.
