Age: 8
Weight: 50 lbs.

Favorite movie: Snoopy Come Home
Likes: Being told what to do but he's an independent thinker so I have hopes that he might be a good leader one day. Being petted and given lots of attention.

Name: Solar
Harness size: Small purple Tug
Age: 8
Weight: 37 lbs.
Birth place: New Hampshire
Favorite movie: Beverly Hills Chihuahua
Likes: Eating and running, running, running. To say that Solar is high energy is an understatement. She does like to be petted whenever she can find the time to sit still for a minute.
Dislikes: Rain in December!
Name: Stella
Harness size: None
Age: 5
Weight: 35 lbs.
Birth place: Lake Elmore, Vermont
Favorite movie: One Flew Over The Cuchoo's Nest
Likes: Spinning in counter clockwise circles when excited, dancing on her rear legs, and playing with her best buddy Froome.
Dislikes:
Stopping her spinning once she starts, being picked on by her three half brothers, and going to the vet.
Note: Stella is our "special" puppy. She was born with some neurological issues. She is doing very well here in our home environment and seems to be a very happy and healthy young lady. When she becomes excited she runs in very tight circles so it's not looking very promising for her to be a sled dog but you never know!
Name: Thunder

Likes: Hercules, chewing on the gang line, sitting down with a good bone and singing pretty songs.

Weight: 55 lbs.
Birth place: Londonderry, Vermont

Name: Valdez
Harness size: Purple Tug
Age: 12
Weight: 55 lbs.
Birth place: New York
Favorite movie: Black Wave: The Legacy of the Exxon Valdez

Name: Zena
Harness size: Blue Tug
Age: 11
Weight: 50 lbs.
