Blacky's spiritual support of our team in the 2007/08 racing season is sponsored by his big fan and former musher, Vlady Palecek from Cernosice, Czech Republic. Thank you so much, dad!
Blacky is a middle sized dog, smaller than his brothers Bering and Baiak, yet a never giving up buddy. He runs with his heart, and if he´d ever be asked for, he´d die in the harness. He´s a real honest worker. Outside, in the kennel he acts like a „nut“ at times, but whenever he´s taken in the house, he acts like a very well behaved dog, that was raised inside eversince he was born. Blacky is black and white, blue-eyed dog, with the medium size of approximettly 56cm at withers.
WORKING STATUS: Main string wheel dog in my father´s 6 dog and 8 dog team. Blacky is multitalented and does well on both, the sprint and mid distance trails. Since 2003 Blacky works as a very reliable leader in my team as well. As of fall 2005 he became a puppy/young dog coach and trains young leaders.
EXHIBITIONS: Blacky was never taken to a dog show.
