Cricket

Cricket is an Alaskan Husky from Plettner Kennels. Her birth mom is Termite and her birth dad is Lennon. She has a brother Dragonfly ("Dragon") that runs with Lynda.

Cricket ran the Iditarod as a puppy in 2006 with Katrina Pawlaczyk and again in 2008 with Rick Holt. Unfortunately I don't know how far she made it in either race. She even worked up on a glacier near Juneau giving summer tourists sled dog tours with Linwood Fiedler.

Cricket typically runs in wheel, but sometimes runs in swing/team. Cricket's stride isn't as long as the rest of the team, but she can keep up with their speed and she can go the distance. She is the most muscularly and solidly built dog on the team and she doesn't realize how much force and weight she has in comparison to the other dogs. Her playfulness can easily be overwhelming and often gets "too rough" for the more "slightly built" dogs. I often find myself slowing down the play before a dog gets hurt.

Cricket is the most recent addition to the Greenacre Gang. She is very friendly and just loves to play and cuddle.
