What makes this dog special?
“Hunter is a rescue dog from the Fairbanks Animal Shelter. He’s been running in the main team since he first went into harness at our kennel 2 years ago. Hunter had behavioral issues that made him a tough candidate for likely adoption. We had to work with Hunter for several months, and with time and patience, he’s come around strong. Still, he likes to be the boss at times keeping me on my toes. Hunter is always there for the team either leading us down the trail or contributing from the back in team or wheel. He takes his food seriously and soaks up all the attention one is willing to give… from the thought of booties and ointments to massage and belly rubs. I think Hunter likes to race because he’s up for all these things, day after day after day. Hunter has finished all his races thus far… saying … ‘see you in Nome’ ”
