Born in 2018, the theme for this litter's names come from Alaska Native youth!
NPS Photo Elsie (f)Born: 8/19/2018Elsie was named by the Nenana students after their resident student living center (LC or Elsie for short). Elsie’s stunning golden eyes get her lots of attention from visitors. She has a feisty personality and she knows what she wants. Elsie is confident and independent, and we expect her to grow into a role as one of our most reliable lead dogs. NPS Photo Gladys (f)Born: 8/19/2018 Gladys is toy obsessed like her mother, Annie. Gladys will often find dropped booties on the trail and carry them around in her mouth. Gladys is mature and wise beyond her years. She is a quick learner and is shaping up to be the best leader of her litter. Gladys was named by the Manley Hot Springs students for their school, the Gladys Dart school. ![]() NPS Photo / Anna Kirk Kusko (m)Born: 8/19/2018 Kusko quickly became the heaviest of his litter mates. He loves shoveling down food and will happily eat the dinner leftovers from other dogs. He has grown to become one of the largest dogs in the kennel. During Kusko’s first winter, he liked running behind the sleds and putting his front two feet on the pad brake to "surf" on the sled. Kusko was named by Nikolai students for the Kuskokwim River which is their school district name. ![]() NPS Photo Nucha (m)Born: 8/19/2018 |
