Riglis, for as friendly as she is, she doesn't like crowds and not a good candidate to put at lead at the start of a race.
Born Spring 2000

APACHE

APACHE is a real success story. I brought Apache to my kennel when another musher was getting out of dogs. He was very shy and didn't trust anyone. It took almost a week before he would eat for me after arriving here. I spent a lot of time just sitting in his area before he would to come to me. We ended up with a very close bond and he has never let me down in the team. He will run anywhere in the team. He was always the dog that I would put up with Aurora at the start of a race. His distrust of strangers made him a good candidate to get us out of town especially at Fort Kent where the race starts in the center of the village running down the main street that is lined (on both sides of the start line ) by several thousand spectators. He is very fast and durable. He is very slow to warm up to newcomers in the kennel. When let loose in the kennel, he loves to visit all the females.
