12 Days of Dogmas

Day 11 (and final day since we can’t count) - BMO

BMO is Marci’s brother. He is a stinky, noisy boy, who loves shoving his nose where it doesn’t go. He loves playing the game of peeing on everyone.

He is a great worker and loves everyone so he sticks around.

Run, wiggle, shake.. the movement doesn’t matter so much as long as it is not still.

Day 10 - Cast

Cast is a lovavble, squishy, silly adventure dog. He loves canoe rides and camping, is an intense cuddler, and does Not. Stop. Moving. So much so, that he has a ‘racetrack’ in his run.

Cast is an Alaskan Husky with a sprinkle of Samoyed.

Day 9 - Durnehviir

Nehvi (or Doug, for those who don’t want to pronounce his name), is a rescue Siberian. Not really a ‘true’ sled dog, but he lives outdoors with the rest of the team, and enjoys skiijoring and bikejoring.

He’s pretty, but he’s goofy.

Day 8 - Tikan

Tikan is an 11 year old Hedlund Alaskan Husky. A gentle giant. Stoic. Strong. Smart. Everything you want in a sled dog.

She helped train all of my current leaders and is actively training for races. Her only flaw is when there’s roadkill…

His passport!

Day 7 - Dovahkiin

Dovah is a binch. I blame it on her mix. Alaskan Husky, Siberian, Malamute, GSD, and a dash of wolf.

Despite this, she is a great sled dog. Very driven and focused. She loves boys though. And not children. No off leash- that’s a story time.

Day 6 - Ezio

Ez is a lovable puffball who will pull for approximately 2 miles before getting distracted. He’s mostly retired from sledding now. He is the best cuddler.

Ez is a rescue, and he is actually from Qatar! He has his own passport and everything!

Day 5 - Beedle

Beedle is the sweetest Alaskan Husky you’ve ever met. Loyal to her humans and always happy to meet new friends, Beedle is one of my heart dogs.

Beedle is one of our lead dogs, but she is a sensitive girl and will only lead for me.

Day 4 - Finn

Finn is the ‘other brother’. Son of Marci, Finn is loveable, cuddly, and such a sweet boy. He is also the size of a moose.

In harness though, Finn is a lunatic. Dedicated to his job, and dedicated to letting EVERYONE know.

Day 3 - Jake

Jake is the son of Marceline, and he is a spitfire. Master escape artist. He was supposed to be an outdoor dog and, well, he’s not,

He’s absolute mayhem but somehow takes his job seriously. He loves learning new tricks. Rancid toots though.

Day 2 - Marceline

Marceline is a 3 year old distance line Alaskan Husky from Mackey’s Distance Alaskans. She is the foundation of our kennel, and our first racing sled dog.

Marci is a workaholic and prefers to solo lead the team. She’s boss and she knows it.

Let’s do the 12 Days of Dogmas.

(Okay, maybe we are a day late, so only 11?? But you will forgive me for that, right?)

Day 1 - Naya

Naya is a 14 year old Siberian Husky, and kennel matriarch. While she doesn’t pull or work anymore, she does enjoy bossing everyone around.

#siberianhusky #sleddog

That is Jake! That is his 1st place medal from the Twin Cities Byllesby Dryland Derby, from 6 dog cart!

I will have to introduce all my dogs- Soon!!

I’ve been told to introduce myself to #mushersky here!

My name is TJ, I run Chasing The Wolves, a mid distance sled dog kennel located in the Iron Range of Minnesota. We have primarily Alaskan Huskies, but a few mixes and retired Siberians as well!

Feel free to ask all the questions! 🐶

So Bluesky is a thing, huh? 👀
I guess we shall share our sled dogs here, as well!
