Gentle Giant

As a puppy, Throne was deathly afraid of water and tried to ride on another dog’s back during a creek crossing. He has since gotten over his fear and is now a solid wheel dog who catapults the sled around dangers. Throne is the biggest dog in the kennel, but is a gentle giant often seen nestling his face into the arms of kennels staff.
