CANINE

Name: KELLY
Age: 6
Owner: JEFF DEETER
Musher currently running this dog: JEFF DEETER
Team Position(s): KELLY REALLY RUNS ANYWHERE IN THE TEAM. SHE’LL RUN IN LEAD AT THE RIGHT TIME WITH THE RIGHT TRAIL CONDITIONS. SHE DOES A LOT OF RUNNING AT THE FRONT OF THE TEAM IN TRAINING. THIS RACE SHE’S BEEN A LITTLE BIT KIND OF FRAZZLED BY THE TRAIL CONDITIONS AND THE BIGGER DOGS THAT MAKE UP MOST OF MY TEAM. SO SHE’S BEEN AT THE BACK PRIMARILY ALMOST ALL OF THE RACE.
Number of completed Iditarod races: THIS WILL BE HER 5TH IDITAROD
Current Location: UNALAKLEET, ALASKA

What are his/her unique personality characteristics?

KELLY WANTS TO BE THE TOP FEMALE OF THE KENNEL. AND WE HAVE A LOT OF THOSE, SO SHE RUNS AROUND POSTURING AND SHOWING OFF TO THE OTHER LADIES, BUT THEN FLIRTING WITH ALL THE BOYS. BUT SHE’S GREAT ABOUT PRICKLING UP ALL HER HAIR. SHE LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE PORCUPINE WHEN SHE RUNS AROUND THE KENNEL. ALL THE WAY DOWN HER TAIL, LIKE HER WHOLE – EVERYTHING ABOUT HER GETS PUFFED UP. IT’S PRETTY FUNNY.

What is the bloodline?

KELLY IS FROM A BREEDING THAT WADE DID WITH A DOG FROM RAYMIE REDINGTON AND A DOG FROM MATT HYASHIDA. AND I THINK, IF I CAN REMEMBER RIGHT, HER PARENTS ARE CALLED DISCO AND ALPINE
