Here's an update on Smokey from Rich:
"He is such a good dog and he really fits in well with our program. I think you would be impressed to watch him work and also to see how much muscle he now has on him. I've run him from the Wheel position all the way up to the Swing (or Point) position. He does great everywhere. He's got 20 runs under his belt now for a total of 170 miles and gaining. We're still running 10 milers but can move up to 12 any time now. Our first race is December 18-20 (Sheep Mountain 150). "

Smokey Update:
Smokey has been with his potential adopter, Rich, for the past month. Rich immediately put Smokey into training with his middle-distance team. They already had 60 miles on them and Smokey had none. However, Smokey has demonstrated no problems with distance or speed. As of last week, he has about 120 miles on him. He can sprint 18 miles an hour and hold his own. They are doing mostly 10 mile runs right now, and his tug is always tight.
Smoke is getting muscled-up, his feet are in fine shape, and he eats and drinks like a vacuum. Rich is planning on taking his team out to the Denali Highway for training and camping soon. He is also putting together a race schedule, expect to see Smokey on the team.
Rich is planning on adopting Smokey very soon.
