Dublin and Charles  came to the kennels immediately after finishing Iditarod 2010 with Jeff King. These two boys have been amongst Jeff’s top leaders for the last few years and have finished the Great Race a number of times. They came available as Jeff retired from competitive racing after the last Iditarod and he sought to place his team in new homes. This year Charles was one of Jeff’s leaders at the ceremonial start, the restart and at check points such as  Kaltag. He is a solid reliable dog who just enjoys leading. Dublin, in Jeff’s own words had “a spectacular race and charged down the street in Nome for the burled arch reminiscent of my Streeper Streakers I ran in this year’s Fur Rendezvous”. These two dogs bring with them the experience of having completed 1000 mile races and run the trail to Nome. When added to the pool of leaders we already have in our kennel our race squad of 39 dogs look really strong.
