Tephra (F)
Tephra is the only female remaining at the kennels from the volcano litter. She had to be tough growing up with her four huge bruiser brothers, who - like all big brothers - entertained themselves by trying to smash her into the snow. She is a true sweetheart and is very smart, like her mother Sultana. She was the first to learn "sit" and to jump on her house. Whenever she ran loose with the team, she was up front with the lead dogs. Hopefully one day soon she can really run in lead with the big dogs!

Did You Know?
Warmer average temperatures over several decades have resulted in expansion of woody vegetation. If this warming trend continues, it will change Alaska's ecosystems and drastically alter the physical appearance of Denali's landscape, as treeline marches higher up the mountains.
