History: Alan was born to a breeder in Bethel Alaska. He doesn't remember much about his puppyhood because as soon as he was 6 months old, he was sold to Gary Wilder. Alan, his brother Alister, and four other pups were trained into a potentail championship sled team with their father-figure, Matthias, at the lead.

When all the pups were grown and able to run a real race, Gary traveled with them to Nome, the sled racing center of all of Alaska. Once there, he continued to train his dogs well.

Alan proved to be one of the best, and soon everyone in Nome had at least heard of Alan and Matthias and their amazing talent together. Alan made sure to make his rounds around town to recieve his praise. He soon met Delilah, the girl that thought sled racing was just a waste of time. After meting her, Alan was determined to impress her no matter what he had to do to do that.

Alan and his sled team friend, Eric, devised a simple plan for Alan to woo Delilah that included a saugage links, the boiler room, and a sun set. It proved to be very successful.

After that, Alan had some troubles with the wolfdog, Cooper. Even though Cooper was Balto's son, he wasn't very liked among the sled dogs. Cooper was constantly trying to pick fights with Alan, but Alan was never hesitant to prove his strength against Cooper. The two enjoyed racing each other, both winning a few and losing a few, but it was never friendly competition. Alan chased Cooper out of town one time after Cooper talked and slightly flirted with Delilah.

By the time an Iditarod musher came to town looking a new dog to add to his team, Alan and Cooper were bitter enemies.

There was a race held for the position on the team, and Gary entered Alan. As soon as the starting gun was shot, it was clear that Alan would be the winner. Later, while talking with Delilah, she told him that Eric tripped Cooper during the race and stopped him from catching up to Alan.

A month later, Alan's new owner was preparing to return his home in Juneau. To Alan's surprise, Cooper came tp see Alan and Delilah off with his new mate, Sadie. After a short talk, all is settled between the two males, and Alan and Delilah head of to their new life in Juneau,

Alan continued his training and racing in Juneau and returned to Nome many times for the Iditarod. He had many offsprings that were sold all throughout Alaska. In his racing years, he won three Iditarod races, one as the lead dog.

Personality: Alan was born and raised to be a sled dog ans has had it in his head that he is the best of the best. He is definately full of himself, but he is also honest. He has never once cheated in a race. He is good and caring to those he is close to, but he isn't very close to anyone but his team and his mate. He was not the best father, since he was also off training or racing, but he was never intentially hurtful to his pups.
