CEASER PUPS IN ACTION
Don with Ceaser/Frosty Pups
The spring (2003) we pooled our money along with Peter McClelland’s White Wilderness Kennel to purchase a multiple Iditarod champion leader who ran on Doug Swingly’s team (4x Iditarod winner—the Iditarod is a 1,000 mile race across Alaska and considered the ultimate challenge in distance mushing.) A retired male, Caesar is now 7 years old. We bought him to add to the genetics in our team to continue to improve the speed and athleticism of future puppies.
A well planned out breeding program is one of our goals in being a responsible kennel. We hope to avoid potential genetic defects such as blindness that occasionally shows up in Alaskan huskies, and to have puppies that other people would be interested in purchasing from us therefore guaranteeing good homes for all. As of now dogs from our kennel live in MN, WI, MI, ND, WA, CA, and Alaska. It is fun when we see one of our dogs we raised in an other team that we are running against in the same race!
Be tough, yet gentle. Humble, yet bold. Swayed always by beauty and truth. Bob Pieh
Dogsledding. Spending hours in the cold, miles away from civilization, just a person and a team of dogs. Why do it, what is the draw? I never find this question easy to answer...but let me give it a try.
I do it… for the adventure, the challenge, the struggle and the adrenaline of competition; against others and even against myself. I do it because it brings out the sheer joy of life and the pleasure in ones physical ability. I value the bond built between animal and human, the reliance and the team that is formed...the family made. I look forward to moments of solitude, time of self discovery and finding out who I am and what I truly am made of...capable of. I find such appreciation of natures beauty, the world I live in, as I travel through the stark contrast of the trees and snow, feel the excitement of spotting a wild critter and watch the mist rise from my breath in the cold air.
I do it... because it makes me more grateful for the simple comforts in life; a cup of hot chocolate, a good book, a warm fire and human companionship. And this is only part of the answer.
