ID Dog Fan Club Draw #1

In our first Iditarod themed Dog Fan Club Draw we’ve made a draw from all the people who are fans of the dogs who did NOT make the team, just to ease the disappointment of their favourite not getting the nod.

Congratulations to Carrie Hopkins who is a fan of Champ, Chipper fan Charles and Lisa Hill, Michael Anderson – a Mismo fan and Tig fan Barbara Thompson. (FYI Tig was never in the running for the team, being the house lab).

You all win a signed Iditarod 2020 Race guide and an Iditarod patch plus a packet of the SP Kennel M&M’s, a glam shot of your dog and some other kennel goodies.

Champ is proud of himself, and rightly so. He’s not just a lovely looking dog but also a champion sled dog. He is also one of the best howlers in the yard and will often lead a group howl, just for fun.

Chipper is a tiny little girl with the biggest attitude. She is absolutely the boss of any team she runs in and is sassy and confident. It is hard to believe she is seven years old already.

Mismo was unlucky not to make the team and has always been one of Aliy’s sentimental favourites. He did well on the Yukon Quest 300 and trained well for this race but in the end Aliy decided to leave him at home. Mismo is one of the very best at SP Kennel.

Tig is one of two house labradors. She has been the Auntie to all the sled dog puppies that have come after her, taking them out for romps in the field and teaching them to come when they are called. She loves to run with them when they are little and once they are grown she enjoys visiting them in the dog yard now and again. Tig spends a lot of time on the lazy-boy rocker watching over the yard with a passing interest in what’s going on out there. Her favourite time is summer.
