The First Sundog - Crocket 1987 - 2002 Our very first husky sled dog, Crocket T. Dog, passed away quietly in July 2002 in his yard with his two, little female friends Puccoon and LeeLoo at his side. Crocket was a very friendly dog soul, a good leader and skijoring partner. He's still the 'best doggie' and will be missed. He brought great joy. Eternally may you run, old boy. Crocket was 15 years old or 105 in 'dog' years.
Mike The Leader Runs In Our Memories Sundogs sadly said goodbye to one of our original leaders MIKE T. DOG this winter. (2007) Advanced age had taken its toll on his health. Black and white and indomitable, Mike raced the Canadian Challenge and Yukon's Percy DeWolfe marathon races and was an incredible gee/haw leader. Over his 13 years Mike also trained many of our current leaders and puppies running in other musher's teams. We will miss Mike and his quiet but reliable style of leadership on the trail and in our hearts. Long may you run the heavens above Mike...Love the Sundogs Photo: Guide Tanja with good old Mike in his prime!  Every Sundog Has Their Day... Every dog leaves us with his or her stories, which we cherish. Other oldtimers, like members of our first dogteam more than 12 years ago, who passed away recently we miss you; Midnight, Mindy, Taiga, Tome. Tibiska, you never let me down. We miss you all.

Puccoon Every dog has a story. Today the last page of Puccoon’s story was written. It’s a story of a skijoring sled dog which be told over and over and fondly remembered. If there was chapter for every year of her life there would be almost 14 of them. A good, long story for a dog’s life. Puccoon was the very first sled dog puppy to come into the Sundogs yard along with her cousin Taiga. They taught me much about raising puppies. Puccoon was a golden dog, both in her fur colour and her disposition. She was always happy and very compatible with every other dog she ever met. Even in her old age she showed moments of the puppy in her. Never much of a working dog in a team she chose rather to share the trail with hundreds of people she taught to skijor over the years and miles. As a single dog she may have brought more joy to our guests than any one dog in a whole team could. She surely did shine like the sun on those evenings early in the sunset when her coat matched the colour of the her namesake prairie flower. Though there was no sun shining on my face today when I laid her to rest by the jackpine-covered hill, the early frost of winter in the air, there will always be the radiance of her spirit in my eyes whenever I recall her on the trail or ‘snuffling’ at my side. Long may you run Puccoon.... 1997 - 2010
Diesel T. Dog 1999 - 2013 He was a reliable leader and lovable buddy with his blue eyes drawing many guests into his friendship. He taught leadership to many of our younger dogs. Long may he run in our memories..... Passing in the same year were calm Major and Giant Nimbus one of our largest ever Sundogs. We’ll miss them too.
