Livingston - 6
years, 63 pounds, 2 Quests |
|
 |
A brother to Stanley, Linvingston is a
very reliable leader. He is very athletic and a bit of
a jumper – for those of you familiar with previous
teams, you may remember Murphy, fondly known as "Hoop
Boy" due to his tendency to leap high in the air
(4 to 5 feet!). Livingston is taking over where Murphy
left off. When he is not jumping, he is proving himself
a great leader in tough conditions, notably on ice. Sponsored

Shilo - 6 years,
53 pounds, 1 Quest |
|
 |
The smallest member of our team, Shilo
is a sweet, gentle girl. But she's also a focussed and
strong leader. More than once, she has pulled bigger stronger
males onto the right trail, and she won't take any nonsense
from the boys. While 2004 was her first Quest, she performed
like a real professional.

Decaf - 8 years,
73 pounds, 6 Quests |
|
 |
What can we say about Decaf! Strong, steady,
reliable, good-natured. Decaf has been a leader in Frank's
Quest teams for four years now. He was crucial in his
2000 race, and has been a key part of the team every year
since. When he was a puppy, we all thought he would be
too big for the Quest, but he has more than proved us
wrong. More important, he has the heart of a Quest dog.
In the 2005 Copper Basin 300, he was one of Saul's main
leaders. Sponsored by Carol P. |

Kirby - 8 years,

 |
Kirby is a big, strong, long-legged fellow,
a littermate to Terror. He's good tempered and a steady
worker. And as you can see, he's a very handsome fellow
indeed. He was in the second-string of leaders for Saul
in the 2005 Copper Basin 300.

This little sweetie really takes after
his mum, Tatchun. He's quiet and hardworking, with a very
gentle temperament. This will be his fourth Quest. On
his first Quest hw was very tired by Dawson, but he kept
on eating and drinking and working. Sponsored by Paolo |

Flint - 4 years,
68 pounds, 2 Ques |
|
 |
Flint was the baby on the team two years
ago, and he came through with flying colours. He's gorgeous
and so affectionate that everyone who meets him falls
in love instantly. He's did extremely well as a rookie,
and has really matured as a leader. Now he is a steady
member of the team. Sponsored by Johan D. |

Mischief - 4

Mischief was the baby of the team last

While he is still young, he is already running on lead.

Stanley - 6 years,

Stanley is relatively new to the Quest
trail, but he is turning out to be a fine leader and has
shown that he can handle really tough, poorly marked trail
conditions. Sponsored by Laurel & Dean |

Schubert - 3

great attitude.

Beethoven - 3

years, 66 pounds, Rookie |

Falcon is a really tall young dog, and
he has great spirit. He has the best howl in the yard,
not to mention a very handsome face. Falcon is Mischief's
brother, by the way.

Sprocket - 3
years, 53 pounds, Rookie |
|
 |
Sprocket is a very happy little leader,
who just loves getting out there. She had surgery to remove
part of her jaw, but the only problematic result has been
that she is a slow eater. And she still loves to run!

Sakura - 3 years,
54 pounds, Rookie |
|
 |
Sakura is a great little leader, although
still a bit tentative at time. Saul found her to be a
great dog in the Copper Basin. She is renowned for jumping
over the gangline while waiting to hit the trail -- no
one has a vertical leap like Sakura!

Carter is a brother to Beethoven and Schuber.
Like them he is a very steady member of the team. He is

his first Quest.

sweetheart and has been really coming into her own lately.

Albert is the favourite of Anne's daughter,
Cindy-Anne, and an enthusiastic member of the team. He
is such a sweet, good-natured dog that he is a delight
to have in any team. And we know where he will be going
when he retires!

Kusawa - 8 years,
65 pounds, 2 Quests |
|
 |
Kusawa is a beautiful boy out of Tatchun. Like his mother,
he is shy, sweet-tempered and serious. He's also a really
steady team dog. He ran as far as Scroggie Creek in his
first Quest, then had trouble with splits in his feet
and was flown to Dawson. Frank struggled with the decision,
since Kusawa probably could have made it into Dawson.
But he didn't want to take any chances with his feet.

Herschel - 6
years, 68 pounds, 2 Quests |
|
 |
Herschel is a very photogenic, charming young lad. He
has developed into a fine long-distance dog, and emerged
as a really fine leader. He seems capable of handling
even the most difficult trail conditions. With his colouring,
he reminds Frank of Hooligan, one of our great leaders
from years past, who went over the rainbow bridge several
years ago. Last year, he was injured early in the race
and gave us a real scare. But he is looking great on the
trails now. Sponsored by Heidi A. |

Spencer - 8 years,
65 pounds, 5 Quests |
|
 |
Spencer is the self-selected cheer-leader for the team,
eager to go at every stop. He's a long-legged fellow,
with a lovely gait and good temperament – a great
addition to any team. When every other dog is getting
quieter, and more tired, towards the end of the race,
Spencer is the one who will be jumping up and barking,
eager to get out of a checkpoint. Sponsored by Mark

Terror - 8 years,

|
 |
Terror is a super team dog. He's enthusiastic and always
willing to get going. He's so enthusiastic that he tends
to get collar rub (from leaping to get off his tether
and get running). So that's why he's wearing that fashionable
fleece neck warmer. He was in the second-string of leaders
for Saul in the 2005 Copper Basin 300. Sponsored by

Belle - 4 years,

Belle is a very steady leader and a very
beautiful girl. For those of you who remember Brandy,
you may notice a family resemblance. Belle is one of the
Valentines Day puppies from 4 years ago, when Latte and
Brandy had a "tryst" in Circle, literally right
behind Frank's back...
