CANINE

Name: MORROW
Age: 7
Owner: PETE KAISER
Musher currently running this dog: PETE KAISER
Team Position(s): LEADER, SWING DOG, TEAM DOG. SHE DIDN’T LEAD AS MUCH AS LUCY. SHE’S A LITTLE MORE LIKE A MOODY LEADER. SHE PICKS HER TIMES WHEN SHE WANTS TO LEAD, BUT SHE SEEMS TO ALWAYS STEP UP BIG AT THE END OF THE RACE. I DIDN’T USE HER AT ALL FOR THE FIRST 700 MILES. AND I THINK SHE WENT IN LEAD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SHAKTOOLIK. AND SHE WAS REALLY A DRIVING FORCE COMING UP THE COAST; JUST RELENTLESS PACE AND ALWAYS PUSHING IT THROUGH ALL THE SNOW DRIFTS AND ALL THE SNOW; NEVER BALKED OR HAD ANY ISSUES. AND SHE’S TIRELESS. SHE’S JUST, I DON’T KNOW. SHE JUST NEVER RUNS OUT OF ENERGY.

What are her unique personality characteristics?

SHE’S KIND OF FEISTY. LIKE, WHEN A DOG WALKS BY, SHE WANTS TO JUMP UP AND SNARL AND GROWL. SHE’S REALLY NOT MEAN, BUT IT’S JUST HER WAY OF EXPRESSING HERSELF. AND SHE’S KIND OF ALWAYS GROWLING AT OTHER DOGS. SHE’S NOT REALLY A FIGHTER, IT’S JUST THE WAY SHE ACTS. IT’S KIND OF FUNNY.

What is that litter’s “theme” name and other siblings’ names from that litter?:

YEAH, SHE’S NAMED AFTER A SNOWBOARD BRAND. SO HER BROTHERS ARE PALMER AND BURTON, AND SOME DOGS THAT HAVE BEEN WITH ME FOR QUITE A WHILE.

What is the bloodline?

SIMILAR TO LUCY, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE THE SAME MOM, DIFFERENT DADS. SO HER MOM IS SHANNON, JEFF KING DOG, AND HER DAD IS SOLOMON, WHO’S KIND OF A WELL-KNOWN STUD AMONGST DISTANCE RACERS IN THE LAST 10 YEARS. WHO OWNED SOLOMON? I BELIEVE HE’S PASSED ON NOW, BUT HE WAS OWNED BY JON LITTLE. JEFF KING KIND OF MADE HIM FAMOUS WITH LEASING HIM AND THEN RUNNING HIM. AND THEN JAKE BERKOWITZ OWNED HIM. AND HE’S GOT A LOT OF OFFSPRING IN THE RACE.
