KP’s Lineage
For the past 5 seasons KP has led every training run and every race. For 2 of those race seasons he had the full responsibility of leading every mile of every race. Right around 20,000 miles in lead, not to mention 3 years in team. KP loves the role of lead dog. His strength and power are second to none and equal to Spark- another total powerhouse leader. Kingpin is a very intense race dog and one fo the best leaders I’ve ever known. Kingpin reminds me of his great-grandpa Commander, one of my dad’s winning Yukon Quest leaders, and one of the most special dogs I’ve ever worked with. He had a tremendous personality and he was a tremendous athlete. KP is one of the fastest trotters in the kennel and watching him on “cruise control” laying it out in a 14 mph trot is a beautiful thing. KP is fiercely loyal, loves to please, is highly intelligent, and loyal. Kingpin also has bombproof feet and rarely wears booties. His tough feet are a trademark in our kennel, but his are just gorgeous. He loves to give big hugs and make strong eye contact, a real lover boy!
