Remy, 12 Years old.
Two magnificent leaders.

Salty - Beluga
Remy - Churrie.
Ready to go after a short break.
I run my leader's without a neckline, but here Kathy was using Beluga to train Salty to stand out, the neckline helps with that.

Here's my good friend Kathy. She doesn't think she has any dogs of her own at the moment, but I don't think these dogs would agree. They totally love her and she them. Several of us really depend on Kathy (or fight over her) to help us out with our teams and she is always a pleasure to be with and a big help out on the trail. So, Thanks Kathy, I really appreciate you, our friendship and your love of dogs.

Here she is with Beluga and Salty, behind is Remy and Churrie's ear and in wheel 2spot and Uno. Uno is a dog that I really love, he's a great worker and he also is strikingly handsome, son of Remy, so you can see where he gets his looks.

Salty, Remy and Uno belong to our friend Keith (although I have a dog named Salty too, of course).

That's what I call it. Pay attention to the dogs here, look at their paws and how
almost perfectly matched they are. This is something that can't be taught, they
figure it out for themselves and it allows them to work together and maximize
their efficiency. That... and it's a thing of beauty to watch.

Since our temps warmed we've been getting in some good runs.
