The energiser bunny. Tembo (Elephant in Swahili) is the smallest of his litter, but one of the hardest workers. He is a friendly, confident boy, with a very focused attitude when running. Great appetite & fur. He puts as much effort into playing with his brother Turtle as working an eating.

Super happy guy! Like his grandfather Belmore, Tenzing is the most perfect physical speciman of a sleddog. Runs all day, very hard worker. One of my best young leaders! Gets super excited before a run, loves cuddles from everyone. Tenzing is one of the kindest dogs you'll meet and gets along with everyone.

Main lead dog. Will find the trail through storms, an excellent off-trail command leader and will take the team anywhere asked. Runs at the speed he's asked. Excellent work attitude. Confident, positive and very friendly. Enjoys having a young male pup to 'house-share" and passes on lots of maturity and knowledge.
