Our Kennel

MR. X –  is my best leader. He was born in 2007 in my kennel. I call him “my christmas gift” because an unforeseen breeding was done on December 24th! Viking is the father, Debee, a dog that my friend Paul Boudreau gave me, is the mother.

Mr. X is the best dog in my kennel, the best leader. He leaded my team during the training and the 2012 Yukon Quest, where I realised that he is an exceptional dog.

About his name : In Quebec, each litter was given a name beginning with a different letter. First litter, it was “A”, last litter was “X”. As this pup was alone, without brother or sister, I named him Mr. X.

He finished the Yukon Quest 1000 in 2012, the Iditarod in 2014 and in 2015. He was in front from start to finish, in all 3 races. Now, he is the main leader for our tours. He ran more than 3200 km during the 2017-2018 winter season.
