We bought the second pup of the year.
This pup is nothing extraordinary. It is a distance dog (which are tougher to find because everyone is into sprint racing) and the breeder does not race. He does what I do. 20- 40 km. on a very regular basis.
I had already bought a couple of pups off him 4 years ago. They are excellent dogs. He had a litter of two. When I contacted him, he had done a breed but he was not sure if it had taken. It didn't. Just prior to my call he'd had an accidental litter with an old female and male. He didn't think the female could still have pups. She had two. He was keeping one and a buddy the second. Buddy was too slow and breeder likes my dog philosophy.
The lineage of this dog is "ancient Lac St-Jean.'
Here's the story:
Lac St-Jean has always had sled dogs and dog races. It is know for distance races of 30/50/300 miles on the lake. One year "the Americans" arrived and won all the races. The locals were insulted and peeved because they had lost their local race.
One local goes to Household Fiance Company, borrows 25 thousand and HITCHHIKES to Alaska. He does the tour and buys 24 dogs. he then calls home and gets a pal to drive up to Alaska and get him as well as the dogs. Once back home he sold 7 dogs to pay for expenses and kept the rest.
The pup is a decendent.
The dog is a 7 week old male.
