He runs co-lead on the team. One time at a local race Ed lent Buddy to a fellow musher who was without a leader. Buddy did great leading the team, he exploded out of the starting shoot excited by all the cheers including Ed's. When Buddy heard Ed's last shout of encouragement from about 400 yards away, Buddy realized Ed was still at the start line and not on the sled. Bud turned the team around and ran back to Ed much to the mushers dismay.
Chance is a rescue dog from a local shelter.
He came to live with us in October of 1999. We think he was born sometime in January of 1999 and he might be from a racing kennel because of his build, strength and speed. He needs this out in the yard because he is often the target of pack stalking. He takes everything in stride and is a good sport since he doesn't have much chance against the adult dogs. He is the first dog that we acquired as a couple.
