​
Zirkle, named for Aliy Zirkle, is part of the Mushing Heroes litter. Zirkle is aloof at first, cautious of new people, but once you earn his trust he is a wonderful, happy go lucky, easygoing and laid back dog. Zirkle gets along with everyone, I never have to worry about who I put him next to on the gangline or who I let him loose with during free play. He has a quiet intelligence behind his calm demeanor that comes forward in his developing leader skills, and in his quiet cuddles in the dog yard. He is easily one of the most valuable dogs on the team, a total pro. Putting Zirkle in lead is like putting turbo boosters on my dog team, he sets an incredibly fast pace and loves speed. Zirkle gets so excited to run, that he starts honking like a goose! Barking is too easy, he needs to express himself with a more...unique sound.
