Oso is an Alaskan Malamute, born in March of 1996. He has been number 1 ranked Malamute in Agility for 1998, 1999 and 2000. He was busy in 2001 helping his buddy Kali raise a litter of 9 puppies, but he is back on track for 2002.

Oso is the reason his mom got involved in agility. He was so shy as a puppy that Kristi was told to enter him in agility to build his self-confidence. Kristi was told he would probably never compete (due to shyness and breed characteristics in general, Nordic breeds are independent), but Oso has gone on to prove everyone wrong and he constantly astonishes Kristi with his ability, heart and sense of humor. It is not uncommon to watch Kristi run a course laughing because Oso has decided “yahoo” and do the A-Frame (his favorite obstacle) at any given opportunity!
