Dog of the Day - Junior

NorthWapiti's Long May You Run
DOB - July 14, 2002
Sire - NorthWapiti's Super Grover
Dam - Alaskan's Georgio of Anadyr

Nickname - June (I know - silly nickname - but I just can't help it!)

Junior is part of the 'run' litter. I always wanted to name a piebald puppy 'See Spot Run' so I built the theme for this litter around that. Junior's name is, of course, a Neil Young song, but honestly where I got the name was from Palmer Shagnoonik's sled during Iditarod. One of his sponsors had embroidered it on his sled bag. I thought it was such a cool sentiment!
His call name comes from the fact that he a beautiful blend of both his parents - beautiful blue eyes like his Mother and a build and marking very similar to his Dad!

For the record, Junior and his mother, Joey are the only blue eyed Siberians in our yard right now!

Junior is a finisher of Iditarod and a bunch of other stuff.

He is a serious and cool dog. Hardworking and pretty much troublefree in the team!




Junior is sponsored by Deb Bok!

Good for Deb to sponsor Jr.----I love that blue-eyed dog. It killed me last year when he was running unsponsored, so I did sponsor him late in January, before the Quest.
Hurray for Deb, Jr.

For several years I thought his nickname was "J. R." (jay are). I was happy to find out the reason he's called Junior! Nice to have one pair of blue eyes to balance all those chocolate-y brown eyes.
