She has lead dog potential, great potential actually. She's so smart it's a little scary, but right now she has a serious case of puppy brain too! As she matures and is able to focus more, she'll turn into a great lead dog.

Phred, the public perception of mushing is bad enough already. Mushers used to carry whips and poles, but the practice has been banned in all races and I don't know anyone who still uses them in training. I already spend a great deal of time convincing people that sled dogs aren't forced to run, beaten, that they aren't vicious dogs who will attack them on the trails ect. Tehya will learn to focus eventually!
