Kennel visitor from Mali

We had a visitor to our kennel on Sunday.  He came all the way to the Bitterroot Valley from Bamako, Mali, West Africa. (Not specifically to run dogs, but that was a perk!) This, needless to say, was Ousmane's first ride by dog team!

Tank must have known he needed to be impressive...and boy was he! Running by loose dogs and keeping the team lined out. He didn't turn the team until I asked him (we've been having issues at our turn around with turns before I ask or turning when I want to keep going). They all did great!!!!

Turning up the drive to home. 

Greeted by the little mushers up the drive 

Ousmane with the team!!!

Love your puppas!
