Personality: Oscar is very affable and personable.  He is the sort of fellow whom you can count on; he is very affectionate and loyal and keeps his promises.  Catalina (his mate) has said many times that she is lucky to have him :3

History: Born to pedigree parents in his hometown of Juneau, Alaska, Oscar was fully expected to be a show dog.  However, when he met Cati (they were both around one year old), he fell instantly in love and swore to himself that he would escape the show ring so that he could become Cati's mate.  She loved him too, and they both wanted to be free of the ridicule that becoming mates with a different breed nearly always brings out in show or breeding dogs.  Cati aided Oscar in his escape, and they ran away, planning to get across Alaska before they would settle down.  About three-quarters of the way to Nome (their eventual destination), Cati became pregnant, and shortly after their arrival in Nome she gave birth to seven beautiful puppies.  Oscar quickly found a home for himself and, after insistently leading his human (a young woman musher, a rarity!) to the place where Cati had hidden the pups, the thrilled woman took them all home.  The family remains there to this day.

Mate: Catalina

Pups: Coming soon!
