Aliy On The Cover Of Mushing Magazine

Congratulations to Aliy for making the cover of Mushing Magazine!

The photo was taken at the Two Rivers Tune Up Race by Alaskan photographer Carol Falcetta. I have no idea what kind of process she used to "colorize" and "art-ize" the photo, but I think you'll agree it's pretty cool! Very nice, Carol!

Below, you can recognize the "cast of characters" standing around the starting line just moments before the photo was taken.

Now, a real test for our eagle-eyed Dog Log readers: Can you name the dog in the cover photo? (Trust me, this is a tough one!)

I think it's Boondocks.

Hank or Boondocks?

Is it Hunter?

Macgellan said...

Amazing! I didn't think you folks even knew who Boondocks is! I don't even have a photo of her!

Emily said...

Who is Boondocks? Please tell!

Linda said...

Yeah, I want to know who Boondocks is, too!

The "country singer" yearlings -- last year's puppy litter -- are: Boondocks, Bubba, Hank, Lester, Scruggs, Waylon, Willie. They haven't gotten much attention in the Dog Log yet, but stay tuned! You'll get to hear a lot about them in the near future, to be sure!

Macgellan said...

PS - With parents like Oddball & ChaCha they're bound to be quite a thrill to watch develop!

Dana Joyner said...

Is it Kipper?

Cathy P. said...

I think it may be an 'art-ized' Betsy....

Pia said...

I only know the dogs from "The Dogs" and I am pretty sure it is none of them.

Macgellan said...

Sorry folks, I guess I didn't make it clear... The dog in the cover photo is Boondocks... One of the yearlings who was out for her first "race"... You will have to wait a while until the yearlings start to appear on the Dog Log... But for now, their names are: Boondocks, Bubba, Hank, Lester, Scruggs, Waylon, Willie... Some pretty good looking young dogs, too!

What happened to Reba? I met her last year at the kennel and thought she was from the "country singer" litter.

Sue -- Reba, who was indeed one of the yearling litter, was too small and timid to be happy and successful on the SP Kennel racing squad. She has gone to live in a very nice pet home!
