Diego
We adopted Diego for free from another family who could not keep him any more. He is supposed to be a Husky-Shepherd cross, but we wonder! He looks like he could have some greyhound in him like the Alaskan Husky racing dogs. Because he went through two other homes before coming to us, Diego has many issues and anxieties, and we have worked hard to rehabilitate him. His separation anxiety has greatly lessened, as has his fear of men, and he gets better every day.
Diego is an extremely fast and powerful dog, and Shawn's special boy. Diego has now done a few runs in both Wheel and Lead positions and has done well in both areas. His power allows him to be a FANTASTIC wheel dog, taking most of the weight of the sled so that the rest of the team can keep up their speed. However, he has also proven himself to be a focused and driven lead dog, but only when paired with another very driven dog.
He is trained to Advanced level obedience, but needs much more practice to perfect his skills.
(**Diego is a rescue and is not pure-bred. He is a house dog and will be a part of our sledding team, but he is neutered and not available at stud**)

Diego loves to cuddle!
