Phillipe's Bike Repair Hot Hounds - photos Stacie Zaychuk

Stacie Zaychuk waits relaxed at the start, whilst handlers Jon and Hans desperately work to control her semi-feral breasts Jack and Harris. Finishing 3rd in the 2 sled dog 2 mile, Stacie commented that it was good fun, but she was definitely doing freight pull again after her Ripper came second in the Lightweights and took home about $120 worth of First Mate's Extreme Dog Food as the prize
Asha the Rottie bursts out of the start chute to win the 1 mile, before going on the win the Freight Pull with a weight of 565lb - not too shabby for a Mae Bachur rescue! Jon has thought about entering the Iditarod with Asha as wheel dog, but she told him she wasn't a poodle and to forget it!
Catherine Wallis runs down lone Canicrosser Chrissy Murray in the Pet-Dog. Finishing second and elated by this success, Catherine plans to be the first to bikejourer on the Yukon Quest (allegedly, so someone else said).Sebastian Schnuelle returns from a fun run, vowing to get a scooter and thinking "..now why can't the Alaska side of the Yukon Quest trail be as smooth as that?"

Catherine takes her dog for her first race, and returns to take Pet-Dog second place

"But Hans" complains Tundra "The food is back in the truck" as Race Marshall Mel Bedard drags the reluctant champ-to-be back to the start line.
