Upcoming Breeding Plans

Summer 2006: UWP Grand Champion Cloudburst Faeden Chilali Song (Chili) will be bred to Ch PR
Springcreek Lambeau Leap
(Brett) pending final hip and eye
certification. Chili is an extremely athletic Chinook with huge
enthusiasm for life. She has been a serious competitor in the show
ring, easily winning her Grand Championship and ranking in UKC's Top
Ten at #3. She earned her weight pull title in three consecutive
events, never missing a beat. Brett is a handsome young Chinook with
wonderful black masking and a head that harks back to his grandsire,
UWP Grand Ch. PR Rain Mountain Tonasket Thunder. He started his show
career with a bang, winning his first Best of Breed at only six months
old. Both Chili and Brett are crazy to run and Brett is now the demo
dog for Daphne Lewis of www.dogscooter.com.
Their offspring should be excellent sled dogs. It will be a first
litter for both Brett and Chili. Click here to see the prospective
pedigree. |

Rainsong will be in approximately December of 2006. The sire-to-be has
still not been selected. This will be Katsuk's second litter; the pups
from her first litter are turning out excellent and are beginning their
show careers with great success. Katsuk herself has an outstanding
show career and is nearly undefeated even at highly competitive
national shows. she is a big Chinook girl, weighing in at 70 pounds in
peak condition. She is a good sled and skijor dog with a loving
temperament. Click here for Katsuk's pedigree.

The Rest of the Story
The Moonsong pack is truly happy with life. They especially love sledding, rigging, showing, or romping as a group.
The best way to show this is with pictures.
Taking a break,
the combined Moonsong and Rain Mountain team during the winter of
2006/2007. In lead are Brett and his sire Tay; swing are Taaku
(from the Rain Mountain team) and Chili; in wheel are Hyak and UConn;
tied to the sled is Lolo (from the Rain Mountain team)

Energy to burn even after a ten-mile run,
Chili leads the way followed by Brett and UConn

Dinner is a popular time of day

One of the best
things about Chinooks is how easily they get along with other dogs and
when you live with a pack, team harmony is critical for both day-to-day
life and in harness. From top to bottom, UConn, Brett, Pharaoh,
and Tay (Chili with back to camera) all share a kiss.

Though they were
just five months old at the time, Marshall (bottom left) and JJ Jiggles
(bottom right) fell into place as if they were harnessed with the
team. Sledding truly is instinctive in Chinooks and Moonsong
makes sure that all breeding stock has the instinct and drive to
run. Before going into harness, pups simply have fun running with
their pack mates and playing in the snow.
