OUR ORIGINAL FOUNDATION BLOODLINES

HIS LITTER BROTHER "CH SNOWDENS KOBR OF TALL TIMBER WAS A SHOW CHAMPION

SNOWDENS SHADILLAC

COPPER PENNY

 

WE PRODUCED SNOWDENS BIG MAC AND SNOWDENS MICKEY DOODLE DANDY 

 FROM OUR ORIGINAL SNOWDEN LITTERS

BIG MAC WENT ON TO WIN 4 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP WEIGHT PULLING TITLES

ALL OF HIS ACHIEVEMENTS &  WEIGHTS  WERE NOT DOCUMENTED IN A DATA BASE   AS AT THAT TIME WHEN CASCADES BIG MAC WAS COMPETING THE IWPA DID NOT KEEP ONE .THAT TIME FRAME WAS BACK WHEN THE IWPA WAS IN THE  BEGGINING STAGES -ALL THOSE WHO WERE INVOLVED IN THE IWPA BACK THEN  KNEW WHAT AN EXCEPTIONAL WEIGHT PULLING DOG BIG MAC WAS ON BOTH WHEELS & SNOW- HE WEIGHED IN ON SCALES BETWEEN 170 AND 190 LBS

HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST HEAVYWEIGHT DOGS TO WEIGHT PULL FOR THE IWPA ON ICE AND SNOW AND SET THE PACE FOR MANY MORE GREAT ONES TO COME AND EXCEL-

WE THEN DID A BREEDING WITH WAKON IN WASHINGTON STATE WITH ONE OF OUR OFFSPRING

BIG MACS BROTHER  WHO WAS NOT NEAR AS LARGE AS HIS LITTER BROTHER BUT HAD MORE OF A SHOW QUALITY LOOK -HIS WEIGHT WAS AROUND 120 TO 130 LBS-WE FELT WAS A GREAT BREEDING SPECIMEN

WE BRED HIM

TO STARR-SNOQUEST OF WAKON

WHERE WE GOT A PUPPY BACK FOR STUD SERVICE AND THAT PUPPY WAS WAKONS ICE COBRA

 A SNOWDEN WAKON CROSS

WOW WAS HE EVER A GORGEOUS ANIMAL

HE WAS POWERFULLY BUILT BUT ALSO HAD A GORGEOUS ALL AROUND LOOK- HE WAS NOTHING SHORT FROM STUNNING-

HE HAD SUCH CONFIDENCE

WHEN HE WAS AROUND YOU KNEW IT AND SO DID THE OTHER MALE DOGS -HE DEMANDED RESPECT WITHOUT TRYING -HE  GOT IT TOO-COBRA DID NOT START FIGHTS- IN FACT HE TRIED TO AVOID THEM -IF HE WAS AGGRESIVELY CHALLENGED ONE TO MANY TIMES AND HE HAD ENOUGH- HE WOULD BE ON THEM LIKE A BULLET AND THEY WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT HIT THEM AND THEY NEVER MESSED WITH HIM EVER AGAIN-HE WAS POWERFUL & EFFICIENT

HE ALSO HAD A KEEN SENSE OF GOOD AND BAD AND IN HIS LIFE TIME THERE WERE 2 PEOPLE - SITUATIONS WHERE HE VERBALLY WARNED US ABOUT 2 SEPARATE PEOPLE-BOTH ENDED UP BEING BAD PEOPLE -HE WAS KEEN AND RIGHT ON THE MONEY IN HIS ASSESSMENT  OF CHARACTER-
