Congratulations to Nacho!

In Spring 2009, Jan joined us on our Mushing Adventure Trip through the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. It was on this particular trip that Jan met the charismatic Nacho.

Congratulations to Viper!

Viper was the lucky dog chosen by Ann Shillington and Jeanne Seward-Walberg. In the past they sponsored the kennel darling, Petunia, but when she retired from SP Kennel this summer, they decided to choose one of the SP Kennel youngsters.

Both Ann and Jeanne have been out on the Iditarod trail in the past. They have seen the love, drive and determination of these dogs first hand. We hope that we will see them again soon and Viper will get some personal “TLC”.

Last season, as a two-year-old, Viper ran in both the Copper Basin 300 and the Iditarod, so we have high hopes for this season. And it all looks promising – he just finished on The Red & Black Team in the Sheep Mountain 150 (Check out this Dog Log Post, if you haven’t already.)

Thank you Ann and Jeanne for supporting Viper and the racers of SP Kennel!

SP Kennel dog sponsorship is one of our most popular programs. Our dog sponsors are a big part of the SP K team. If you’d like more information about the program, check out How to be a Dog Sponsor.

Viper – What a Good Looking Guy!

Congratulations to Moonpie!

To Mona Fredrick, there’s not a better dog than our “sweet Southern boy,” Moonpie. While he might not have the best manners, his humorous, drawling howl is enough to win anyone over, especially a fellow Southerner like Mona. His charming personality combined with his go-get-‘em attitude makes him a contender in any team!

Thank you Mona for being apart of the SP Kennel team and sponsoring Moonpie!
