Olga is a young female from a distance racing kennel that can be described in one word—“spicy.”  Those big Doberman-looking ears are always listening.  When I see her eyes perk up, I know that I need to be on alert because there’s something ahead (a moose, wolf, or maybe another dog team) that I can’t see yet.  She’s very smart, learns fast, and runs fast but she has an edge—she doesn’t like to stop on the trail and snaps at the dog next to her whenever she has to wait.   On free runs in our exercise pen, Olga gets along best with the guys, however, she is making new friends with some of the other females like Solomon who is a very gentle soul.  Olga has tremendous potential as a leader if we can teach her to respect and trust her teammates.
