Frozen Biffarooni or known as "Biffa" to his friends. He is a
9 year old Alaskan Malamute bred by Gail Castonguay of Misty Paks Alaskan
Malamutes.  He is just a big LOVE. You couldn't get a dog more laid back than
Biffa!  Very consistent, works very hard and is always happy.  He isn't the
fastest dog on the team, but he is 100% reliable. Good natured and very
handsome!  Biffa also leads single or with a partner. When I need him to lead
it's usually for a good reason.  I call him my "go home" dog.... as he will always
get us back home or to our truck no matter what.  He is all business.  He is not
as sure footed or confident as the others, so I baby him a bit.... but he just loves
to run and when he smiles back at me, he just melts my heart.
Latisha, better known as "Tisha".  She is a 9 year old Alaskan Malamute
and sister to Biffa.  She is a tiny peanut, but she has a huge personality.  She is
full of energy, never tires, pulls wicked hard and always has a great attitude.  
She is a great, hard working team dog.  She has lead for me from time to time.  
Tisha really has a hunger to learn new stuff and does very well in obedience.  
She is always seeking to please me and is very devoted.  
Tisha has her CGC certification.
DIVA is an 11 year old Alaskan Malamute bred by Gail Castonguay of Misty
Paks Alaskan Malamutes.  I adopted Diva 7 years ago.  Diva has turned out to
be an exceptional leader, coming from wheel position in her previous team to
being one of my best leaders. She runs single lead a lot and loves it!  Not only
is she a hard working and talented sled dog, she is a wonderful mom to her
pups Zudnik, Tonka and Zsa Zsa and has excelled in obedience both at
beginner level and advanced. She is a very well behaved dog, great with other
teams and extremely loving and devoted.  Hard to believe she is still running
lead and still running well and keeping a good pace infront of much younger
dogs.  Diva is still running and running really well!!
Diva has her CGC certification
TONKA, sometimes known as Tonki-Donkey as he does have a stubborn
streak him. He is a 7 year old Alaskan Malamute.   Son of Diva and Sasquatch,
he is an absolute sweetheart. He is my caretaker, always keeping one eye on
me.  He is a great sled dog, loves to run lead, mainly with a co-leader. He sets
a fast pace and is very well behaved with other teams.  A  very social dog, mild
mannered and very playful.  He is also very handsome!  When he isn't working
hard on the team, he just loves to snuggle up for as much lovin' as he can get.  
He has done well in obedience, by some miracle and will be attempting
advanced classes this Summer.
Tonka has his CGC certification
ZUDNIK is a  year old Alaskan Malamute.  Son of Diva and Sasquatch and
brother to Tonka and Zsa Zsa.  He is an absolute "love". A big, gentle teddy,
just like his papa.  He is an awesome sled dog.  Consistent worker, pulls
extremely hard and keeps a very good pace.  He LOVES to work and run and
his best place is at wheel, though he is really good in lead.  He and I work well
together and when he is at wheel, he takes on more than his share of the work!  
In the yard, he has boundless play, while a big dog, he is so light on his feet
and athletic.    Since being a pup, his favorite thing to do is to climb up onto
your lap and cuddle like a true lap dog..  He listens well and is just a joy to be
with, I often call him my "best buddy", because he truly is.
Zudnik has his CGC certification
ZSA ZSA is a 7 year old Alaskan Malamute and sibling sister to her brothers
- Tonka and Zudnik.  Daughter of Diva and Sasquatch.  Zsa Zsa, like her
brothers, is a really loving dog. She is smart and very hard working.  She just
loves to run, especially around other teams and is always so excited to get on
the trail. She runs mainly in team position or at wheel.  She has lead for me
from time to time.  She doesn't seem to mind where she is on the team.  Zsa
Zsa has boundless energy and always gives 100%.  She loves to cuddle and is
always ready to sit on you for some one-on-one.  She's a very happy girl, gets
on well with her team mates and is very devoted to me.  This season she has
been running lead with Tonka and is doing well in that position

GYPSY-ROSE A 3 year old Hedlund Husky from Alaska.  A peaceful, loving
addition to my kennel.  Rosie is a beautiful and exceptional animal.  She is
approx 50lb.  She was bred by Kim Fitzgerald from Mush Knik in Alaska. On her
first run in harness she lead the team back to the truck alongside her best
buddy, Yahboo.  She is very smart, listens well and just loves to run.  Second
time in harness I actually hooked her up in lead from the beginning, she held a
nice line out after a little coaching and took to her role infront of the team as if
she had done it many times before.  Rosie was born to lead and that position is
where she is happiest. She has astounded me with her natural talent and work
ethics.  As tough as she is in lead, her second best thing to do is be in the
house, sleeping on the bed next to me.
Rosie has her CGC certification
Washakie ! Also known as "Sharky-Bob" because he had wicked large
teeth as a puppy!  He is a 3 year old Alaskan Malamute bred by Nathalie Roy
and Pierre  Thibault of
Nordiclight Alaskan Malamutes from Canada.  He is an
absolute sweetheart and a big boy at 90lb. In harness he runs mainly at wheel
and is a great worker.  Very gentle, quiet, yet playful and loving.  He is nice and
leggy and is well put together.  I have no doubt that he will get his turn in lead.  
Pulls really hard and loves a faster pace.  It is always easy to get him to pick up
the pace.....
Washakie has his CGC certification.
NELLIE IS A HEDLUND HUSKY FROM ALASKA.  Nellie is almost 2 years old.  
She is a good size female at 60lb. Bred by Kim Fitzgerald from Mush Knik in
Alaska.  She is robust and hardy with a beautiful thick coat.  Nellie has a
tremendous amount of drive, she runs as hard as she plays.  Such a
sweetheart, very loving and cuddly.  She is as comfortable in the house as she
is in the dogyard.  A very versatile breed that adapts well, no matter what the
circumstances, no matter what the temperature.  She is a beautiful dog from
the inside out.  Nellie is a gifted sled dog, tremendous in harness. Has done
some runs in lead and will be leading much more during this next season.  Her
nickname is "No I never Nellie"...... she always has that look of innocence!

DAISY IS A HEDLUND HUSKY FROM ALASKA.  Daisy is Nellie's sister and is
almost 2 years old.  She is a little smaller in size than her sister, around 54lb
but still a good size for a female.  Like Nellie, she has a most beautiful coat, so
thick and silky to touch.   Both girls make you just want to run your fingers
endlessly through their coats.  Daisy is a hot ticket. Extremely alert and smart.  
Both girls are very devoted to me, slightly different styles.  Daisy wants to do
everything, really really wants to!  She has done quite a bit of leading and is
really incredible and gifted.  I can't wait to unleash her this season and see
what she has to offer as I know it will be amazing.  Like Nellie, she is a great
house dog.  When she is in the house, she sleeps with me on the bed, nestled
as close as she can be to me.
Daisy has her CGC Certification
GINGER COOKQIZ IS HEDLUND HUSKY FROM MINNESOTA.  Cookqiz is 18
months old and has the maturity of a dog twice her age.  Cookqiz is half
Hedlund, half Points-Unknown Zulu line (old line from Susan Butcher).  Bred by
Linda Newman in MN
www.Points-Unknown.com.  She is a fantastic dog.  When
you think it just can't get any better, here comes Cookqiz into my life.  From
being a pup, she has been so smart, so alert, so wanting to learn and seek
things out. Very inquisitive, highly motivated and driven, wants to lead, wants to
take commands...... I've been babying her a little because I know once I allow
her to bloom, she will explode into her role of leader.  Cookqiz is a great
companion, so loving and such a big clown. She is great in the house and a
really snuggle bunny.
