Dasher is running for Karen Ramstead of Perryville, Alberta, Canada

Age: 6
Sex: Female (spayed)
Weight: 42 pounds
Breed: Siberian Husky
General bloodlines: Both her parents are Iditarod finishers from my kennel. Her Mom, Kara, was one of my main leaders for many seasons and just retired this year.
Where does the dog run? Anywhere, but is currently my main leader, so usually in lead or swing.
Race experience: Three Iditarods and a bunch of mid-distance races.
What makes this dog special?
“The neat thing about Dasher is her sense of humor and general love of life. I’ve had a lot of cool leaders over the years, but most were serious and focused on the job – not Dasher, she is a party girl. Her tail never stops wagging and there is always a mischievous twinkle in her eye. She is opinionated and frequently ‘lectures’ me (probably on how I need to relax and loosen up!) often stomping her front feet at me while doing it to really get her point across. Her love for her life and for her job is an infectious kind of thing and I really enjoy running and working with her.”
