To celebrate the New Year and to welcome 2021 we have done a double Dog Fan Club Draw!
Congratulations to Susan Gaitan and Sharon Ritz who are both fans of Spark! Lucky Sparky gets double treats today!!
Susan and Sharon both win a packet of SP Kennel M&M’s, a Fan Club Winner Certificate and a glam shot Spark. We’ll get those out to you as soon as we can.
Sparkie-doo-dah is a special fellah. Born into the Fire Litter in 2013, he is now 7 1/2 years old. He is a spectacular lead dog, but also a fun loving dog. Spark has decided that he would like to be a Retriever. He sincerely enjoys racing after tennis balls. He even brings them back! Spark is convinced that he’ll outdo Ziptie in the months ahead. We’ll see.
The only issue Spark might have at becoming a Top Notch Retriever is that is is not a fan of water. One of the best videos is Spark leading the team on the Iditarod in 2019. That year, the Yukon River was a slushy mess and the team had been mushing through miles and miles of wet overflow and deep puddles. The first few minutes of this video Mismo is in lead but then we stopped for a break and Spark is in lead at that point. I was rotating lead dogs often in order to keep them upbeat about the crappy trail. Watch Spark in lead when I say, “Sparky. Come on. Come on….” He’s not too enthusiastic about continuing the “swim” up the Yukon River, is he? (Neither was I!)
To find out more about our athletes look at the “Dogs” page. To join the Dog Fan Club you can hit the “Become a Dog Fan” tab at the top of the page or click here. We will have a Fan Club Draw twice a month or more during race time and special events. It’s fun. Support your dog or dogs!
Sparkie has many talents but that retrieving is wonderful!!! Congrats to the winners!
I love the video of Spark retrieving. Such a talented guy.
