FOOTBALL:
Bronco of Sepp-Alta x Sepp-Lok's Falcon, whelped 10/19/99
With both parents already boasting call names of NFL teams, and a fall whelp date, it seemed appropriate to continue the football theme with the offspring.

BOY SCOUT CAMP:
Jello de LouFranc x Sepp-Lok's Falcon whelped 11/24/00
While at Boot Camp I, Jello and Falcon decided to tie one on. At the time, we were too new as breeders to recognize the signs of a bitch coming into season. The puppies were aptly named after Boy Scout camps.

GAS STATIONS:
Call of the Wild's Bart x Sepp-Lok's Falcon, whelped 5/16/03
Over the course of a year planning this
breeding, we drove a few hundred miles back
and forth to meet Spencer Thew at a gas
station in Vermont. When Falcon produced two
surviving puppies, Exxon and Mobil seemed
appropriate nicknames.
A year or two before this litter was born, Falcon was brought to the vet for the
removal of a mammary gland tumor. It was benign, but our vet at the time
recommended due to her age, to alter her while she was under the anesthesia.
Well, we are more than happy we did not approve the procedure, otherwise
these beautiful and intelligent pups would not be with us today.

COMETS:
Howling Spirits Steel x Ivory de LouFranc, whelped 7/31/03
|
The theme for this litter came as a
combination of events. While traveling,
Bob and I watched a news report in the
airport on Siberia. During that report, the
story of Tunguska's Comet was mentioned. I
thought, what a cool dog name and kept it
filed away until the right opportunity
presented itself. Ivory's puppies matured
quickly and were soon traveling out of the
whelping box. One starlit evening, the
littlest female of the 4 was crying and I
ran outside to "rescue" her. She was
promptly named Nova and we found a use for
the cool dog name and hence the "comet
litter" theme.

ZEN:
Baldrick of Jedeye x Howling Spirits Nikki
whelped 5/22/04
While we were in MN running the Beargrease,
Nikki came into heat. We decided to take
advantage of the opportunity. The Zen-like
experience we had that season, culminated at
the Beargrease. In keeping, that is how we
came up with the the naming convention for
this litter.

WINE & SPIRITS:
Alaskan's Nicolaos of Anadyr x TWD's Emma, whelped 8/22/06
At first, we were going with a precious gem theme for the names of these puppies. Sending Osage to the Rainbow Bridge during the month the pups were born, and then having his ashes escort the pups home
from the vet, we knew we had to pay tribute to him somehow. ‘TK’ is short for a word derived from the Osage Indian Tribe vocabulary which means 'Great Spirit'. Struggling to find a complementary name for the female, our friend Karen J. suggested that we ought to name a pup after our interest as wine enthusiasts.
Karen’s suggestion, combined with the female’s screaming celebration of life as she was pulled from her mother's womb, is what completed the ‘wine’ portion of this naming convention.

CHIP OFF THE BLOCK:
Mishawum's Falling Rock x Northomes Mandy, whelped 12/6/2006
Rocky has been a prominent member of our team since the age of three. We are so elated to finally have an opportunity to use him at stud! Not only is he our main leader, he keeps order in the dog yard, and has a full resume of other accomplishments. Rocky's dad is also a pretty amazing sled dog. Here's hoping the adage, "the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree" continues to prove true!!
