Her paws are always on the right track and she never interacts with the dogs who 'are bad.' Annuk is very supportive of anyone who has new ideas and is always open to hear them. She listens to her heart though she may take that to literally at times. She isn't ready to be a leader yet but with a firm hand to show her the way she can overcome anything and whip her team quickly into shape, and show her dominance over them by taking position as lead dog. Her loyalty cannot be bought and although she doesn't completely trust the new master yet she does like and respect him. Annuk is very nervous about meeting all the dogs here and although she is normally talkative it does make her nervous to be alone, and without her mother. She was bought by the master before she was born and was shipped her from her home in the Northern Peninsula, Canada. She was born on a farm with her three sisters and one brother. Her mother took care of her and told her stories every night as she fell asleep. She is a very smart dog and has an acuteinstinct for direction. She knows the difference of feel under her paws of thin or thick ice, and is very sensitive to pressure changes related to the weather. She is young so she doesn't really have any mates or pups planned out yet. She is slightly large for a lead dog but that doesn't slow her down. Her legs are long and lean, and her shoulders and legs are thick with regularly exercised muscles. She has a long fluffy tail that helps her to balance and is nearly always wagging. Her body is strong but short and allows her to easily steer herself and allow any swing dog to know which way to turn. Her fur is long, thick, and double layered. Her undercoat is thick and the perfect insulation for long cold nights. They trap her body heat to keep her warm no matter how cold it is outside. Her overcoat is waxy and keeps her skin dry by protecting the undercoat form rain and melting snow. Annuk is mostly gray and white. Her body is solid gray while her belly is white. Her chest has a white ripple through it and her legs are also white. Her muzzle is white around her mouth but the top of it is a light gray. She has white patches around her eyes and the inside of her ears are also white. The top of her head and the back of her ears are a light brown that fades back into gray as her fur goes down the back of her head. Her nose and paw pads are a black color. Her eyes are a dark brown that look black in most lighting.Annuk's Fast Facts wrote:Name:Annuk

Pups: NoneAnnuk was bought before she was born. As were her other sisters and brother. She was bred by two mushers with extraordinary dogs who had led both their teams to unbelievable wins. Her mother was a Half husky mutt who led her team to four Iditarod Trail wins. Her ability to rally and excite her team gave her the edge they needed to win even against more experienced mushers and teams. Her father was a town hero. The native tribes of northern Canada still use sled dogs for recreation and transport. His musher took her father and the team out for a run when a blizzard unexpectedly hit. They were lost for three days. They had pushed farther north then many would go and the musher was hopelessly lost. That's when his wheel dog a large Alaskan Malamute and Canadian Inuit mix took the lead. The musher was amazed when he saw his hometown's lights flickering in the darkness. No one could believe how a reliable lead dog couldn't find the way home but the wheel dog of all them could. Both of Annuk's parents are now continuing their training and entering races and leaving their mark on the racing world. But one thing you can be sure of is that their pups are going to be something special...
Annuk is a common sled dog a full blown mutt she is every bit of a working dog as the pure breeds. Her heritage consists of all the major sled dog breeds, Husky, Alaskan Malamute, Finnish Spitz, etc, but her DNA also holds some of the lesser known breeds of the sled dogs. The Canadian Inuit dog, some hound, and retriever. Her hound is easily noticeable in her great scenting skills and loud bays at the moon. Even her bark sounds more like a bloodhound then a wolf. As for the retriever just throw a stick, you'll see. Her body and breed has been adapted to be perfect for the cold arctic nights or wherever the trail leads. She always knows her way home and gives off an encouraging vibe. When she pulls she different from most lead dogs. Many earn their keep with their encouragement and sense of direction. Which is an obvious important skill that every lead dog must have. Annuk is a little different. She pulls constantly and won't stop until ordered too. She can pull as hard as the wheel dogs and bear just as much weight. Her muscles have what is sometimes called the quick twitch and her paws work as fast as any swing dogs and she can steer the team and the cart behind her with ease. Although her physical traits are impressive it's always been her mental ones that make her a champion. And from the weeks she spent with her mother she has heard all of her stories of cold snow flying and hearts beating faster as you barge through snow and pass opponents and rivals. She has heard descriptive detail the feeling you get as you lead your team across the finish line of the biggest sled race in the world. Annuk wants nothing more in the world than to win. Her heart is set on it and her paws are on the right track. She knows what she wants and perhaps she'll get it. Who knows? Wind rush is in her blood.Day 1:Annuk has been bought by the musher to be groomed into a lead dog. It is her first day with the new dogs and her first time away from her mother, brother and sisters.
