Training in Paxson

Jason went down to the Paxson area for a training run only to experience high winds and soft trails. It was a great training experience for the dogs. Jason is extremely pleased with the performance of the team during his training runs. The stories he returned with were exciting and full of challenges. The trail was blown in and the snow berms were side hilled 5-6 feet in places. At one point the lead dogs disappeared from sight. He anchored down the team only to find Roy and Murtle had jumped off the guard rail and were dangling in their harnesses. He had to pull them up about 7 feet to safety. I told him he was lucky to have dogs that loved him enough to jump off a cliff for him. He was proud of his dogs for really shining and pulling through without a hitch. Another great chance for training and getting the dogs on new trail, different conditions and terrain, and camping on straw.

We also picked up two new dogs from Michelle Phillips to fill out our team. Frog is a large male that is only best described as a maniac. He is a very hard worker and loves to eat. Pixie is a smaller female that runs professional swing and is a sweet heart. Both dogs fit excellent in to our team. We have been battling injuries in our small kennel and the two new additional fill out the team beautifully. Special thanks to Michelle and Ed Hopkins.
