With close to 30 highly competitive races under his harness Pan has had one of the longest racing careers in the kennel, spanning across 8 years. Pan led the majority of these races, every step of the way. An exceptionally durable dog who was never dropped during a race or had any injuries. As a two year old Pan earned placement as the champion he was born to be. A dog with the gift of extra speed, a serious dream leader as a pacesetter, with the heart of a tough distance dog. Pan is an incredibly loyal dog with high emotional and innate intelligence. He led the team to victory repeatedly in the 2014/2015/2016/2017/2018/2019/2020 seasons. Setting a record pace in at least 7 races. Pan is a lover boy with the ladies of the kennel and his people. He is very affectionate, smiles often, and is a joy to be around. At the age of 11 Pan continues to give 100% on every run, every time. He now runs primary with the upcoming athletes in the yard. His mother, Sadie, had a difficult birth and Pan was close to death as a newborn. Thankfully he pulled through and his strong spirit thrived. After he was removed from the birth canal Dr. Mark May asked, “Do you think he’s going to be a rock’em, sock’em, leader?” He sure he is. Pan is the sire of Pie and grandpa to Ryan Redington’s Bolt.
