Sweet Pea at 10 years old. |
Happy 10th Birthday to Sweet Pea and Klaus today! In this photo, she is saying, "Must you?" It's rare to catch a photo of her with her ears up. Sweet Pea is irreplaceable in our kennel. She is the adoptive mother of any puppy who enters motherless. She is also an extremely versatile sled dog and leader. Klaus is one of our all-time-best open country leaders and my most loyal companion.
They are litter mates and are from the Points Unknown Zulu line of Alaskan Huskies. Their sire, Zulu, has lineage that dates back to Susan Butcher's Granite. Their dam, Jesse comes from an unknown line of big, Siberian-based Beargrease racing Alaskans.
Happy Birthday Sweet Pea and Klaus! We love you!
