Spencer

September 29, 2013 by teamineka

Spencer Team InekaHi, my name is Spencer. I joined Team Ineka in 2011.  I can run anywhere on the gang line but I enjoy the wheel position the most.  I get to be closest to the musher and help pull the load of the sled.  At feeding time I stand on my house and bark with excitement at the handler until he fills my bowl.  I am looking forward to this season and helping Team Ineka run qualifying races.

I know people love my blue eyes against my black and white coat. Well, I dont know if people like it or not, but I think I am super-cool, anyway!

Fall Training is Underway!

September 2, 2013 by teamineka

It is the first Monday of September and what that means around here is that fall training is underway at Team Ineka. Our goal over the next few months is to run small teams of eight to ten dogs on our ATV starting at three or four miles a day and increasing as the dogs get in shape.

The plan is to build muscle, condition the team, work on leader training and see who works well together. This is time for the new dogs to shine and the older guys to teach the pups. fall training 2014

This is our favorite time of year. The leaves are changing, the air is getting cooler and the dogs are excited to do what they love.

Each training run that we do we track on an iPhone app called MapMyRide. Our plan is to run each team at least 100 miles a month until it is cold enough and we have adequate snow to run on the sleds.

We hope that you will follow us on the trail as we prepare for our 2013-2014 season.

Denali

August 5, 2013 by teamineka

Hi, my name is Denali. I am one of the leaders at Team Ineka. I came from Hugh Neff’s kennel in the fall of 2011. I have been on just about every training run and race that Robert has ever done.

I am a pretty big boy at about 60 pounds. I work real well teaching the puppies the ropes and how to listen to commands like Gee and Haw that comes from way back on the sled.

I will be running on the A Team this year and in all of the races unless some younger pup takes my job and I have to sit on the bench. That’s okay though, even Tom Brady doesn’t play in EVERY game.

If you would like to learn more about me or even have me come to see you at your school or business event I would love to meet you. I am a real clown around the camera and love pets behind the ears. If you would like to sponsor me we can do that too. Your name will appear right here on MY page and you will also get a signed picture of the team, your name on our dog truck, that means lots of exposure if you are a business (hint, hint) and more!

Today Bodhi became part of the team

February 20, 2012 by teamineka

Our newest addition to Team Ineka is Bodhi. Just a year old this past January I wanted to wait until he was over a year old before we put him in a big team for a training run.

Today we ran Bodhi in a ten dog team around Windy Lake. Not too far but he did great! I had him hooked up to Rabbit an older (11) veteran that could teach him a thing or two and check him if he got outta hand.
