"Sponsor a dog program" Last season we had a bunch of wonderful people sponsor our dogs. Those folks made our race season possible. We are looking for sponsors again this season. UPDATE: I trained 17 dogs up on the ATV this past fall. Once we hit snow a few things changed. The first disappointment was that we figured out that Bobbi was pregnant. I thought I had moved her away from Homer in time, apparently he got her early so she had only 1 puppy. I bought Bobbi this past spring to race on Scott's team, so her getting pregnant right when we needed her was upsetting. The puppy did not have fully developed lungs and he passed away after only 2 days. I'm trying to get Bobbi back into shape so she can race. She missed only 2 weeks of training, so hopefully it will not be that hard to get her going again. Valeska is still going strong, but she does not have the speed that she used to have on the flat trails. We decided that it is my turn to race her. I'm beyond thrilled about this, it is upsetting for Scott to let her go. She has led his team for 8 years, and won many races for him. Viktor is still having some issues with that muscle in his leg, he is fine to run, but cannot lead because of it, so that is another disappointment for Scott. The good news is that Scott is happy to have his spoiled Circe leading his team. The exciting news is that Baby Lance is running lead on Scott's team! I did not put Lance in the leader rotation this past fall. He is such a strong dog, I figured he would make a nice wheel/team dog. He has Gynger's focus & drive, and he reminds me of his uncle Kasper big time, he also has Mark's speed. The problem with those two in lead is that they do not have 100% confidence, but that will come with time. Scott's team is: Circe, Lance, Viktor, Jadis, Mark, Mannie, Homer & Beaver. It is an amazing team! My team is: Valeska, Solo, Vale, Eve, Lucas, Vince, Virgil & Kermit. It is the best team I have ever had! Neither of us can decide who to drop from our teams for when we have to race 6 dogs. We have waited years for 2 perfect 8 dog teams :-) When you sponsor a dog your name will appear on the sponsorship page, and on that dogs regular page, under the dogs name. Each dog can have more than one sponsor! Your name will also be put onto our dog truck for the race season. The sponsorship money goes towards gas and race entries.
