Chica

A grandkid of Silver, Chica brings a lot of her dad’s traits as well as many of her own extremely positive attributes to the team. Chica is always ready to go and never seems to tire. She ran in a puppy team with my handler as a yearling and showed she had what it takes to go 1,000 miles.  In 2015, as a two-year-old, she shined on my winning Yukon Quest team. She was the 15th dog and traveled to the race start as an alternate, but after a small injury to one of the Main Race Team members, she was called up and rose to the occasion. In 2016, she was a key element to our success in all three of our big races. Chica played a huge role in the race success we had in 2019, being one of the few veterans on the team for the Copper Basin 300 and the Quest. Chica was a leader for our puppy teams in the 2020/2021 season.  The 2021/2022 season she started out training and doing tours at the Iniakuk Lake Wilderness Lodge. In the summer of 2022 she was at Trail Breaker Kennel working with tourists. Chica is now officially retired and is at the homestead enjoying her retirement!
