To celebrate the half-way point of the Yukon Quest we have made a double Dog Fan Club Draw!
Congratulations to Merwin Ullestad who is a fan of Decaf and Celeste Honsbruch who is a fan of Bronze. They win a packet of the now-famous SP Kennel M&M’s and a signed Yukon Quest Race Guide, plus a glam shot of their dog and some other kennel goodies.
Decaf is a happy soul and is always having fun, whether trotting down the trail or playing with his neighbours. He has a tonne of energy and is the opposite of decaffeinated. He made the big time last season and has continued his great form into this season. He’s running in wheel on Allen’s Black Team right now in the YQ1000 and we’ll make sure he gets his extra treats when he’s back at the kennel.
This is Bronze’s breakout season. She has superior genetics with her mama the peerless Quito and her papa is champion racer Clyde who is on the 1000 mile race as I write. Bronze completed the YQ300 just a few days ago (albeit doing the last few miles in the sled). We’re excited for Bronze’s future!

I know you have more important things to worry about, but I was wondering if we are going to see our bootie on one of the dogs. We were so excited to sponsor when visiting Alaska this summer and have told all our friends to look for a neon green bootie. LOL We have seen them on other teams. Thanks! It has been so exciting to watch!!!
Hi Chris, thanks for supporting the race and sponsoring a bootie. The sponsored booties are generally used at the start of the race although I understand that our team may have already had their own black booties on by the time the crew got the sponsored ones so Allen took them with him on the trail. It is likely he used them at the first stop before Two Rivers checkpoint and we haven’t seen any photos from there. I’ll see if the crew can look them out in the return bag.
Congrats to the winners of Decaf and Bronze. Decaf is one of my favorites but lets face it, all
SP dogs are special. Bronze came from fabulous blood lines and will be a great sled dog!
Enjoy the goodies you are sent!
How in the heck did I miss this post? Well, Decaf, you got some extra goodies coming!
