Two New Puppies at SP Kennel

We are extremely happy to introduce you to Champ (left) and Cayenne (right). Their Mother is SP Kennel All-Star Nutmeg (from the Spice Litter) and their Father is a current SP Kennel Superstar, Nacho. This was a planned breeding before the arrival of Olivia's Eleven in mid July. Meg's pups were born September 7th. She had complications during labor and needed a c-section. Meg was a first-time 9-year old Mama, but she and the pups are doing well now. She is sleeping with both pups during the nighttime but spends most days in a pen right next door.

These two puppies are such a great reminder for us of who we are and what we stand for. The Spice Litter was a phenomenal litter because we gave them the chance to be great. They weren't the huge, burly male dogs that so many mushers "need" to compete. In fact, they were far better. They got us up the ladder in dog talent and desire to please. And of course, their parents were some of the best dogs ever at the Kennel - AJ and Ash. Aliy can still picture AJ winning the Yukon Quest with her 13 years ago. The Spice Girls (and boy) were all HEART and when they were racing, they were dedicated to US. To breed that with Nacho's genetics, physical talent and happiness is exactly where we want to be now! It's exciting to connect the past with the future.
