Kennel Champs

Martin with Jim.

Each dog here is a champion to us, but some have gone some long miles in their lives, on race trails. When new dogs come here, the longer time residents like to be sure they are still just as important to us.

In these photos , Martin, on Aliy's Quest championship 2000 team, went for his usual walk with Jim.He's a very loving dog and usually won't go without me so I go into the house when he walks with Jim. He was honored with the first walk yesterday. His pal, Ruby, was along, too, but she was off and running before the photo.

Skinny (Jerry Louden's Quest leader) is King of the Jungle here, so he wants to meet the new dogs when they join us. Skinny has an injury that sidelines him a bit these days, although he still goes for trail walks twice a day. In the photo here, he meets Eos. Both Eos and Zeus have easy going temperaments, so the adjustment to

our kennel has been uneventful.
