Dakota

Dakota, the big man!

If sheer determination and strength is what you look for in a dog, then Dakota is what you want. An awesome runner who has a turbo switch when needed and the brains to be a great leader.

Dakota and his litter sister Aspen, were a remarkable team. This big boy, 30 inches at the withers, has fantastic conformation for harness work and has proved this time and time again. Even at 7 years of age, his average speed was 27 1/2 km's per hour. Not bad for a 50kg dog at an age when most other Malamutes would be retired.

Dakota sired a lovely litter of 7 puppies in 1999. 6 girls and 1 boy who are all gorgeous black and white cuties!

He was awarded his WTD (Working Team Dog) from the AMCNSW.

March 2004 saw some big changes for Dakota. With the loss of his lifetime running partner and sister Aspen, he was a bit lost and didn't have the desire to run like the old days. Adding 3 male Siberians to the yard has perked him up and he's now the doting "granddad" to Cooper and Jonty. Dakota has re-gained his love for harness work and is back to his happy, playful self.

Dakota turned 12 this year so I guess he is easing himself in retirement gracefully. He deserves it - he's done a great job to promote not only his breed in sleddog sports in this country but also Idigadog's reputation.
