Red & her grandmother, Trav'ler

Redington is the daughter of Hurricane Crispin Soul and GreatMountain X Yukon Charley.  She is a fourth generation crossbred dog from our line. She will be eligible to be registered as purebred if she passes her health screenings and meets the UKC breed standard. She is the 3rd generation produced in our kennel - it is really something to have grandmother, mother and child in the same household!  This is one bonded family too - Trav'ler and Charley are very close and are now including Redington in their play and adventures.

Redington and her littermates

What's in a name???  Poor Redington went weeks without a final name.  That's because we wanted to get it just right.  She was born into our "Mountain Litter".  Her puppy name had been Flyrod Crosby, after an inspirational woman who was Maine's first registered guide.  While we loved the idea of calling her Flyrod, we really didn't like the call name.  So, we stuck with the "guide" and mountain theme and went with Redington Guide.  Mount Redington is one of Maine's highest peaks and it's just outside of Rangeley, Maine, where Cornelia "Flyrod" Crosby guided from for nearly 50 years.  We were pleased that this name also makes the Alaskan connection as Joe Redington, Sr. is known as the father of the Iditarod.  Our foundation female for this cross-line was named Cheena after the Chena River in Alaska.  Cheena died just before Charley was born and we named her "Yukon Charley" in honor of Cheena. Charley's the only dog in our pack named after an Alaskan place.
