Four Winds Tsuga Stump

(Stump and his sister Mugs were named for the late, great mountaineer Mugs Stump, who died on Denali in May, 1992)

Stump has been our go-to leader for the last 5 years.  He is smart, but doesn't have any agenda other than to do his job.  He is a leader who is not stressed by being in lead.  He seems to always be happy.  He is conservative and always in control.  He is a dream leader who waits for the command and does what we want even if we forget to tell him.  A mind reader.  A dog wizard.  His favorite words are 'good boy' and he hears them often.  He has led the team through all manner of trail and conditions.  From crowded start-lines, to desolate and windblown sections of trail-less Yukon River, through deep overflow, into biting storms and under sunny skies, Stump has led this team with calm and control.  He's trained his successors, and doesn't lead as much anymore, but he will always be our Super Stump.   A dog of a lifetime.

Races Finished: Yukon Quest, Copper Basin 300, GinGin 200, Two Rivers 200, Can-Am 250, among others.
