Cuervo
Cuervo joined our kennel shortly before Iditarod 2014 from Dallas Seavey. Travis needed a last minute go-to dog and knew he could rely on Dallas to provide him with a top quality racing athlete.Travis and Dallas both grew up in Seward and ran tours together for Dallas’ family for many years. In 2011, Travis went to work for Dallas for a summer at his summer dogsled tour show in Anchorage. Although Dallas no longer runs it, Travis looks back on that time fondly.
Dallas described Cuervo as:
The canine version of Dallas Seavey. Cuervo is small, confident, and can’t sit still. He is also incredibly mouthy, often times smarting off to dogs twice his size. But like Dallas, Cuervo can run…and run and run. He loves to eat, and can usually finish his food in time to swipe somebody else’s too. If there is a disturbance at 3 a.m. in the dog yard, it is usually Cuervo trash talking. In spite of his aggressive demeanor, he gets along with just about everybody
Cuervo has been starting to lead for Travis intermittently. He is a great dog with a lot of natural talent. He often runs with his half-sister Gremlin, a 3 year old Travis purchased from Dallas as a pup the summer Travis worked for him. Cuervo brings confidence, excitement, and a steady work ethic to Travis’ team. Although smaller than most of the males in our kennel, Cuervo makes up for his size with his hard work ethic and his big heart!
