RACE AGAINST time | lots of spots open;

    The clock echoes around the room. Children watch it, wait for it to...CHING! The children grab their bags and rush outside into the cold winter air of Alaska. Adults leave their houses and stand in the snow staring down the street. Off in the distance a flare if fired and the crowd goes crazy. House pets and strays gather around the edges, watching and waiting. The first two dogs are spotted, and are racing towards town. Soon the whole team is right behind them, and then the sled. The snow pushes out of their way ass they run along. Following them the other team, racing against the other. The dogs pant and pull forward next to the rival team. The snow began to get lighter and not so dense as they neared the town. They were neck and neck as they raced, the mushers smiling at one another like good sports, while the teams, once all friends were now broken part by competition. They used to love each other, play together, but the race ruined it all for them. Winning ran through their veins. The town streets neared and the lamppost lights were just turning on as dawn began to creep upon the small area. The first team stumbled giving the second a chance to race past. Children went crazy and cheered the coming team on. Through the finish line they went, followed by the other team. The mushers shook hands and dipped their hats at each other. The lead dogs snarled at each other, their fur standing on end. A fight happened that day. Competition hurt their friends, or who they thought were their friends.

    Generations later their grand-children are alive and well sled-dogs. As pups they were all best friends, but when they were introduced to sledding as a competition they grew hateful towards each other. The great sled race is happening again twelve years later. Both teams are being put together, harnessed and attached to the sled. The teams are led to the starting line, and lined up so they start at the same place. Children and families line the street once again cheering on the two musher and their teams. The starting flare is fired and the crowd cheers, as the dogs began to run. Snow moved beneath their paws as their mushers steered them forward along the snow. The race is a four day race, with stops in between. After about six hours of running the snow began to fall, and wind began to pick up. The teams were not far from each other, but neither musher could tell where anything was. A blizzard was announced in the town and people began to pray the mushers were okay. The lampposts were turned on, just in case the mushers turned around. The snow hit the dogs in the face and soon they had no idea where to go. They had no idea where they were. The musher of team one stopped his dogs to look around with the lantern. Then continued on. The dogs began to loose their footing and realized they were on the edge of a ravine. The snow began to turn into ice and the first team slipped, falling and tumbling into the ravine, their musher crushed by the falling sled. Team two wasn't too far behind and heard the yowling of team one. Sadly musher two didn't think right and pushed his dogs faster, ending up having the same fate. Both teams, hateful towards each other now have to get along to work together.

name;; Diesel. Loyalty
age;; 5 5
gender;; Male Female
rank;; Wheel Wheel

These two are have been best friends since birth. Being the only two pups in their litter it makes them twins. Diesel is the large one, with a blue coat. While his smaller sister, Loyalty has a red coat. Since they were both born at the same time, they are both the same age; 5. Though they are not the same gender. Loyalty is a female and Diesel is brute. Both of them do have their differences, they both have similarities. Their owners sold them for sled dogs, at different prices. Since Loyalty was a female, she was sold for more money because she would produce beautiful young. She sold for 1,650 dollars. Diesel sold for 1,500 dollars. Not that much behind her. The reason they cost such a nippy price was because they were already trained to be sled dogs saving the buyer half the time. Their new owner put them both on the team as wheel dogs. Loyalty on the left and Diesel on the right.

weight;; 57.3 lbs 46.401 lbs
height;; 22.3 inches. 21.6 inches. [on a ground to shoulder measurement.]
coat color;; Blue and White Red and white
breed;; Siberian husky X Alaskan malamute cross Siberian husky X Alaskan malamute cross

Diesel was born with a really dark blue coat, and as he got older the blue began to get lighter in places, and even white. Such as on his flank. His eyes are ice. His father had the same blue coat and ice blue eyes as he. Diesel took all after his father, the same brute strength and same basic build. Underneath his waterproof coat is a lean muscly build. His height is quite average for a normal husky so he towers over most of the females. He is heavy for a husky, but most of it is due to his muscles. This husky was meant to pull most of the weight around on a sled team. His hind legs are much stronger than his front in a muscle test, due to the pushing his back legs do. Diesels chest is pure muscle as well, it is what mainly pulls the sled forward in the snow.
Loyalty is a smaller husky. She takes after her mother and father. Her mother was a small red husky, but with no muscle. Loyalty is a large female for most of the female huskies, and she gets this from her father. She also gets her strength from him, but her beautiful looks came from her mom. Their mother was an Alaskan Malamute and she happened to get her coat length and color from her. Her eyes are a more common hazel/orange color which she sports proudly. Her size helps in the back of the team. Her strength helps carry a lot of the weight of the sled and herr brother as well.


personality;; Playful and happy. Playful and Sweet
history;; Playful and boring Average and boring
dis-likes;; Cats and Moose Vegetables and chains
likes;; Water and food People and water

Diesel is a very playful dog. He has never seemed to grow out of his pup-hood. Constantly he is barking and jumping around like a hyper maniac. His playful demeanor is a good thing for a sled dog. If you have a calm slow-going dog, the may not be so urged to run. Though having a playful dog on your team could mess things up. Luckily for this team, he can control this. When the harness is on, he is either looking at the dog in front of him, or looking at the musher. This brute is never in a bad mood, so he is a very sweet and will cheer anyone up instantly. It's hard not to look at such a cuddly face that is bouncing around and yapping his head off.
Loyalty is playful as well. Though she is a bit more calmer than him. She doesn't bounce around or yap her head off. She is calmer and will only be playful when needed. Or if she is around Diesel she will be just as playful as him. She loves going into the harness and when she is in it, she gets pumped. This fae will start barking and wagging her tail like crazy happy to go on a run with her team mates. Loyalty is also a sweet kind loving female. She does get sad un-like her brute of a brother and it brings her whole system down. Not even a run can make her happy. Though he depression is hardly there, all you ever see is a happy go lucky female ready to play, talk, or go for a quick run through the snow.
These two have been through a lot together. They went through birth together and they went through pup-hood together. Growing up these to had it made. Being the only two pups in the house all the toys were their's for the taking. Often their father would come over to play or teach the pups about sledding. Their mother was a show dog and she knew nothing about this 'sledding' so they learned what they were going to do when they were older from their dad. They were always around other dogs, because their father had a team of ten. He was the left lead dog and was hoping his son would be too. The two pups would always play together, biting and growling. Play time was all the time. When food was set un-attended they always got to it. Nothing was too far out of reach for these two. Well, until they met the other creature of the house; Curls, the hairless cat. Everyday these two would chase him around the house till he got too far out of their reach. One day this cat was out of options and thwacked Diesel in the face. Ever since he has hated cats and always chases them.
When the were old enough they were harnessed daily and taken outside to run. After that, they were attached to a small wagon and pulled it around the yard. They trained for a long time. Every Sunday they had off and would destroy their home playing and sleeping. After a while the owner knew she had to sell them soon. She called the musher wanting them, and told him they were ready to be picked up. The musher came by and played with the puppies out back and tested their skills. They said their good-byes and happily followed the musher to his vehicle where they slept until they arrived here. Until they were old enough to pull a sled they were trained more and played with often by the neighboring kids. Months flew by and the musher was waiting until their hyper puppy stage had left them. Even though they were two years old, they still had the energy of a six month old. The musher decided to try them out. He put them first as lead dogs. They failed. All they did was turn around to play with the other dogs. So finally the musher got an idea, and shoved them in the back as wheel dogs. There they stayed, foreverly happy.


crush;; nope nope
mate;; nope nope
pups;; nope nope
looking for in a fae/brute;; Playful and sweet Smart and sweet

Diesel wants a sweet and playful female as his mate. He wants her to be able to have fun when he does and never show any signs of sadness. Not only does he want her playful, he wants her to be sweet and kind. Able to fend for herself and happy to do so. She needs to be happy with how Diesel is and not who she wants him to actually be.
Loyalty wants her mate to be sweet. She wants him to be kind, even if he has flaws. She doesn't really care about looks in this sense. She wants him to be smart though, even if he is playfully dumb. To be honest this sweet-heart doesn't really care what he is like, just as long as they love each other.


[Still a wip ^^ But it coming along. I have to clean the living room real quick before my dad gets home.]

Female - 4.5 Years Old - Right Lead Dog









ImageImageImage

ωнσ ωαs ηαмε∂ ғσя нεя вℓυε εүεs
My name is neither common nor rare. I would say that the best word that describes my name would be unique. My name is Skylar. Some of the other dogs' however, call me Sky. If you can think of any other nickname that fits me, good for you. I have asked my mother multiple times as to why I was named Skylar. She would simply say because of how blue my eyes are, that they reminded her of the clear, sky blue that stretches for as far as the eye can see. As I think about that, I would say that is a good explanation as to why my name is Skylar.
As of right now, I am about four and a half years old. I know this for I have seen four, full winters.
Incase you haven't noticed, I am in fact a female. I was born a female and for the rest of my life. I am sure of it.
I have made my way up in the positions on the sled. I used to be a normal team dog, but when I turned four, I was moved up to Right Lead Dog and that is where I had intended to stay at until the human had retired me. With the sudden plane crash though, I am not sure what is going to happen.

I am not sure anyone can really explain what their own behaviour is like, but I guess if you were to ask any of the team members, I guess they would say a few different personality traits. The first one I would think, that the team would say, is that I am a devoted Husky. There are two things that I am devoted to. The team and humans. I loved the humans as they were the ones' who protected me from harm and healed me when I was wounded. I had come to love them when I was young, seeing that they didn't mean any harm to my mother or siblings and I could trust them not to harm me. Now my team. I'm devoted to them as I feel it's my responsibilty to watch over them and to protect them. I love every team member and though I will fight with them sometimes, I would jump in front of them when there is danger to make sure they are protected. Another trait I guess you could say that I have is that I am a natural soft-spoken canine. My voice may be quiet and I may not talk much, but you don't always need to use words to do or say something. I feel that I have enough respect from the rest of the team to not have to raise my voice much, especially with the help of Devon. Between the two of us, we can keep an eye on the team. The third and probably most visible trait that I carry is that I am a protective female. Either over the team or the humans, I will not stand by and let someone or something harm them as long as I can help it. I would rather the danger come at me than at a team member or a human and I will die before I let them get harmed. These traits I feel, is the reason why I had been moved up to Right Lead Dog.

When I was born, I was the smallest in the litter of eight. The others' in the litter would always pick on me when they wanted to play fight or just to pick on me. I was being protected though. My mother would always come and rescue me from their little antics. She would tell me not to worry, that one day I would be bigger and stronger than all of them and I would be the one who would become the best. She was right. Out of the whole litter, I was the only one who had made it to the Iditard. My siblings were put up for adoption, soon being adopted by families and living the boring life of a house dog. I could never be that and I think the human saw that I had more potential than just laying inside a house all day...even if I was small at the time. When I turned three, my mother passed away. I never knew my father. I didn't mourn the loss of my mother, I was independent by then and she had already two more litters. Sure, I was hurt, but that just drove me more into my work, trying to prove myself that just because I had started out small, I would finish big.

I have no mate, and no crush. I guess I've never really looked to actually like a male, I was too busy and too focused on my work to really slow down for a mate. I would like one some day, and to also have pups as well.
I don't have many weaknesses, but I guess a few would be that I am not a strong dog. Sure I'm a lead dog, but that doesn't always mean you're strong. It doesn't help that I am small compared to others. I grew a lot from puppyhood to adult hood, but I am still smaller than most. On the other hand, my strengths would is that I am a pretty fast female. I could've been a swing dog if I really wanted to, and I am more agile than some of the other dogs.
As of right now, there is nothing I can think of.

Male - 5 Years Old - Left Swing Dog

тell мe wнaт do yoυ ѕee, wнen yoυ looĸιng aт мe
Well, my name is common I guess you could say, around Alaska. I'm known as Kodak, but I have also been called Koda, for short. I have asked why I was named Kodak and she simply said because I looked like a Kodak and it fit me better than any of the other names she had been thinking of. I still wonder to this day, if I was called Kodak for any other specific reason, but I don't let it consume my thoughts as I have other things to worry about.
I have seen five full winters in my life time and that means that I am five years of age.
Incase you couldn't tell already, I am in fact a male and I will not be changing gender any time soon.
From the time I was old enough and big enough to fit in a harness, I am in the position of Left Lead Dog.

Well there isn't much to my personality. I am a friendly male, but it takes a while for me to actually talk or warm up to you. I guuess you could say that I am guarded with the ones' I talk to but that's only because I've been in many fights because of what others' have said behind my back about the team or myself. Being an older canine, I've seen many things and I've learned from them. Though I am older, I still make mistakes, who doesn't? Normally, I am a very calm and gentle male, but do anything that threatens the team or myself, well let's just say it'd take a little time for me to calm down and I'm sure someone would have at least a cut on them. Another trait I carry is that I am protective of the team and the ones' I care about, the same trait that Skylar has. Being older, I feel that it's not only my job to set the pace for the team, but also to protect the team to my best from anything that could harm them. I know I'm not as strong or as quick as some of the younger dogs on the team, but I am able to hold my own for as long as I can. I'm not a fighter, but I will fight for the ones' I love and if any of them came to be injured or harmed, I wouldn't know what I would do with myself.

When I was born, I was the largest from the litter but also he fastest. When I was able to walk and run, I could outrun all my other sibilings and I think that's why I was the only one who got to stay with the humans. He saw that I could run and when I was trained for the sled, he introduced me to the Swing Dog position. I never knew my father, he was part of another team and my mother died when I turned three, killed in a sledding accident. I mourned for her, but to stop myself from thinking about her, I pushed myself harder in my work. My sibilings were sold to local families as a house dog. I never see them anymore, and I don't mind as I am more focused on my job.

I am currently not seeing anyone. I once had a mate however, but she had been sold to a new owner who turned her into a pet. I'm not sure where she went, but I no longer see her. I've never had pups before and I wouldn't mind having them sometime. It's just that I am waiting to meet the right female. As of right now, I have no crush.
