**2008 Top Five-

...
I think seeing the dogs that people like is a little more interesting than just seeing what people have. For the rest of the winter I'm going to try to post the dogs making the biggest impression in the kennel- the up and comers and the stars of the team. Racing season is mostly over for us, the flu is keeping me home while Tok ROC goes on, and then there's little on our schedule afterwards. These are the best of 2008. A fairly tight group geneticly, everything has Labben as a grandsire, and the yearlings are doubled up on that line.
... Bella-2005 (F) (L)
Lead every race this year, a nice little dog who makes it look effortless.
... Tehran-2005 (F)
Moved from being a swing dog last year, to being our best leader. Strong, fearless, and the hardest driving dog I've ever been behind. It's been a disappointing winter, with lots of missed training and lousy race perfomances, but the best thing about this season has been watching this dog mature.
... Karkor-2005 (M)
Outworks every dog in the team, only outshined by his littermate Tehran. My hope is to get this guy up in lead next year, he's a monster in harness.
... Stryker-2006 (M)
Could have been Stryker or Hex here, but Stryker has been shining as a yearling. Consistently impressive, which is saying a lot for a male this young.
