The Wolf Pack
Brock
Position: Leader
Age: 7
Nicknames: Brocky Balboa, Brockbuster
Sponsor: Veterans Advocacy Services
Brock is one of the main leaders at Frozen Trident and carries himself accordingly. Not only is he one of the smartest dogs that we have ever met, he is also one of the most powerful too. Don't let his size and intense look fool you, when Brock isn't running down the trails he prefers to be inside laying on your lap.
Ozzy
Position: Leader
Age: 5
Nicknames: O-face, Oz Ball
Sponsor: Eagle Industries
Ozzy is a ball of energy who is all about having fun. He especially enjoys when you talk to him in a Sharon Osbourne voice. Ozzy is a fast and tough dog who often finds himself up front leading the pack.
Jason
Position: Leader/Team
Age: 8
Nicknames: Jase, Jasey
Sponsor: Renee "Aunt Nay Nay" Noel
Jason is easy to pick out at the kennel because he's the only dog with one floppy ear and one pointy ear. He can run anywhere on the line and never backs down from a challenge. Jason does what ever is asked of him and has one of the best appetites at Frozen Trident.
Mack
Position: Couch/retired
Age: 8
Nicknames: Mack Daddy, Burt Mack-lin FBI, Holy Mack-rel, Mack attack
Sponsor: Anita Baker and Mike Keith
Mack is bad to the bone! He is a very tough dog who is all business while in harness. Mack is a dog who you can always rely on to get the job done.
Lobben
Position: Leader/Team
Age : 7
Nickname: Lobbie, Big Block Head
Sponsor: Summer Jeanette @SummerJeanette
Lobben is one of the most enthusiastic dogs at Frozen Trident. He loves to run and is always the first one jumping in his harness. Lobben thinks of himself as a lady's man. One of his favorite hobbies is trying to flirt with his female pack-mates. Unfortunately, he seems to always end up in the friend zone.
Clyde
Postion: Team
Age: 3
Nicknames: The Clyde-icles of Narnia, Mr. Freckles
Sponsor: Meredith Gottschalk and Levi Wolfe
Last season Clyde kicked ass. He kept up with all the "older" dogs and spent a lot of time learning how to be a leader from Brock.
Bonnie
Position: Team
Age: 3
Nicknames: Bon in 60 seconds (she ran away once), Bon-ald Schwarzenegger, Bon Jovi, Bon's Early Light
Sponsors: Arlette Donzey
Bonnie is a total sour patch kid. She is equal parts sweet and sass. She is the life of the party during happy hour and likes to stir the pot if she senses drama. She is also one of the snuggliest dogs in the yard.
Buttercup
Position: Team
Age: 4
Nickname: Butters, B-cups, Sundance
Sponsor: Emily "Iggy" Beck
Buttercup may be the smallest dog at Frozen Trident but what she lacks in size she makes up for in speed. B-cups is the fastest dog in the pack who always is the first dog to race into the house so she can get the best spot on the couch.
Eleanor
Position: HBIC (Head Bitch In Charge) / Cheerleader/ Puppy Trainer
Age: 3
Nicknames: Hell-eanor, Boopser
Sponsor: Strong Souls
Meet the husky that started it all. We didn't know when we got this special lady that we would be moving to Alaska and starting a sled dog kennel less than a year later. It became apparent very quickly that she belongs in a winter wonderland. Eleanor absolutely loves being a part of the pack and spends a lot of time training the younger generation of FTK athletes. Although Eleanor is primarily our pet dog, she enjoys pulling the sled from time to time as well.
Sierra
Position: Team/Lead
Age: 8
Nicknames: C-cups, Sea-biscuit, Sea-monster, Muscles
Sponsor: Shaun Henry
Sierra is built like a brick shithouse and isn't afraid to show off her muscle. She struts around the dog yard and lifts her leg to piss, showing all the males how its really done. Don't let Sierra's confidence and toughness fool you though, she's a sucker for belly rubs and butt scratches.
Silas
Position: Team/ Lead
Age: 7
Nicknames: Batdog, Si, Silas but deadly, Miley Silas(he hates this one and will come at you like a wrecking ball if you call him that)
Sponsors: Jeff and Patty Reid
Silas is a bit of a lone wolf. During Happy Hour, you will see him trotting the perimeter of the yard and paying no mind to his teammates as they sniff each others butts. He gives great hugs and howls louder than the rest of the yard when he sees the food bucket.
Stuart
Position: Team
Age: 7
Nickname: Stewy
Sponsor: Jeffrey and Lexi Freeman @finefoodssoutheastfla
Stuart is one of the biggest members of the pack and also one of the loudest. He is undoubtably the strongest dog at FTK and an absolute asset to the team. He can have a bit of an attitude with the other males at FTK but he loves to charm the ladies.
M
Position: Team
Age: 7
Nickname: Emmee, Amelia
Sponsor: Devin W. Wilber
M is one of the more timid dogs in our yard but once she gets to know you, she will cry until you give her some attention. She delivered 5 healthy puppies this summer but is ecstatic to be back on the line with the rest of the team!
Dancer
Position: Team
Age: 5
Nickname: Dancypants, DDR, Dance your face off
Sponsor: Shelia Mahala
Dancer is a strong and tough pupper that never slows down. Dancer is the type of dog who gets back from a run and sprints around her dog house for two hours just to show off how bad ass she is.
Stella
Position: sled dog in training
Age: 2
Nicknames: Stardust, Squish
Sponsor: PJ Ramsey
This will be Stella's first year running with the team. We are excited to see her potential pulling the sled. Stella's bestie is Eleanor and she is one of the only dogs Eleanor will snuggle with.

Thomas

Age: 2
Nicknames: Tommy, Tommy Gun
Sponsor: Julian and Majella
This is Tommy's first year in training. He will be learning the basics of being a dog sled from our seasoned veterans.

When Tommy comes inside for couch time, his favorite thing to do is lay on Eleanor's plush bed with bone.

Age: 6
Nicknames: Deev, double D's
Sponsor: Phil Worthy
Diva is the newest adult member at FTK and has made herself right at home.
