Phoenix is our little pocket dynamite.  She certainly lives up to her pedigree name - Speedyboots!!

She arrived at Idigadog in 1999 as a 9 week old puppy full of spunk and hasn't changed.  Phoenix is smaller than Aspen and Dakota, but at 26 inches and only 30kg, still has the necessary strength for doing a good job.

Phoenix has won many first Alaskan Malamute placings and finished extremely high in loads of races.  In her very first race she was placed 2nd and even in the 2004 season at 5, her highest achievement was 3rd overall at the Southern Cross Classic.  This was no mean feat given the calabre of Siberians she was racing against including some top quality imported running line dogs.

She was awarded her WTD (Working Team Dog) from the AMCNSW.

With her fantastic speed and attitude, Phoenix was able to compete in a 3 dog team with two of our Siberian boys at the Altitude 5000 race and the Canberra Sled Dog Classic in 2004.  Boy, did she prove herself.  Not only was she able to keep up with the boys, but she also pushed them from behind.  If determination counts for anything, then Phoenix is a winner all round.

This little dynamite had a broken leg in 2002 (see pic above) but easily recovered to be one of the best racing Malamutes in the country.  Both her pedigree name and call name suggests exactly what Phoenix is all about.

Now retired from racing after an operation for bloat and gastric torsion, Phoenix is still happy to go out for a social jaunt around the trails with her buddies.
