Moe - the youngest of the team

The hierarchy in a dog team is all important, the lead dog has to not only be the dog chosen by the human team leader, but he/she has to be respected by the other dogs. Huskies are first and foremost pack animals, they need a sense of belonging and order to feel happy and to function properly - when they do, they will literally pull the sled as hard as they can until their last breath.

BAS Sledge dogs were amazing but they were above all working dogs and cuteness wasn't a epithet I'd ever apply. Tough beyond belief, loyal, determined, frustrating, obstinate, belligerent certainly. They were total characters as well and all individuals although the pack hierarchy operated all the time. I probably learned more about  management from my 9 dogs than I've learned since!
