It’s a mellow season for StinkyPup Kennel, as we aren’t racing this year. J&A have been taking the Stinkers out for short 5-11 miles runs every other day, and have participated in DPSAY and YDMA races. They’ve even won prizes! We’re also doing some tours with a focus on groups of 2 instead of larger groups. Next year, we’ll ramp up for races and larger groups.
The working dogs this season are:
- Allie
- Axel
- Amy-Sue
- Haines
- Athena
- Ryker*
- Timber
- Ted (for tours only)
- Kia
- Rev
- Sniper
- Justice
- Sisuq
- Snowflake
- Yukon
- Striker**
*Ryker had a seizure so isn’t running on tours. The vet set I should still run him, since he wants to go and he’s had one previous seizure a year ago. The vet said he’s a young dog at 6 years old, so it’s probably epilepsy. For older dogs who have seizures, it’s more likely to be a brain tumor.
**Striker self-retired and moved inside. However, he still enjoys running free with the team. He’s amazing to watch, as he’s very fast and graceful.
