Minik's mother,Minka is a wonderful lead dog. Last winter she was carrying a litter. On Easter she had 7 lovelies. Minik, Tahla, the two which shall remain at Medicinedogs, and Breeze, Raven, Rook, Moon, and Nuhla. She has a short coat but runs like a horse, and her temperament can't be beat! I just love her! So I imageine though he is just a puppy, that Minik will be a great dog like his mother!
