The Journey is more important than the destination
Ivan keeps showing progress in his journey to be a sled dog. Now at 6 months and 52 pounds, the long-legged galoot is downright fast. Not to mention he has a huge amount of endurance. If you’ve been following his journey you’ll notice the… Continue Reading “Ivan run #9”
I went on a trip a couple of years ago. I drove to northern Minnesota to meet Doug Willett and Togo. Doug and I had worked on his book for a year, and I wanted to meet him. I fell in love with Togo… Continue Reading “Togo of Seppalta: Update”
Ivan’s run #7. He is coming along nicely. He is faster than Cooper. But Cooper knows his commands. Puppy brains are still in effect. Coop outruns him at the start but he gets outpaced at the last. Ivan is still showing great promise and… Continue Reading “Run #7”
So, the civil war continues. Soon to be gone are the great dogs of the North. First was the Greyhound and now the sled dogs. PETA is a brain jacked organization that hopes in time for the demise of all pets. They have money… Continue Reading “peta sucks”

Great read from the CKC on these dogs. This is part 1 but the other 2 parts are linked in the text. If you are interested in Sepalas this is a great read. https://ckcusa.com/blog/2020/january/togo-and-seppala/
What’s the difference between a generic purebred Siberian Husky and one from a working/racing kennel? Tons of things to be honest. Ivan is a good eater, a good rester, and a driven puller. All the things that make a competitive sled dog. In today’s… Continue Reading “Education continues”
6 days short of being 6 months old. Ivan is now 50 lbs. and 23″ at the shoulder (withers). He can pull as hard as my adult dogs, but they are not from racing or Seppala lines. Even being only 3/4 Seppala, and the… Continue Reading “Ivan Update”
