This guy is the most solid dependable male in the kennel. He always finishes, he has never ever been hurt, he has never had a split in his feet, He is an outstanding worker who shows no signs of fatigue He knows exactly what to do at the checkpoints and he is a dead on Gee Haa leader. Elton is one of the original dogs we purchased and he is the only one of them still training and racing with us. We bought him sight unseen at 7 months for a hefty sum but to me he is worth ten times what I paid.
