Tumnatki's Shelby

dob 9-4-00  (Tumnatki's Tucker S.D.X. by Northome's Silver S.D.X.)
Pedigree

Shelby is another of the "car" litter, named after an early model of Mustang.  She is smooth, steady and powerful like her namesake.  Shelby is another of Tucker's offspring who has inherited his leader abilities.  She is hard-driving and confident in lead, handling that position even on our fastest runs.  She maintains her desire to please, even through the excitement of running in harness. 

Shelby was bred in ’05 to Northomes Max; she produced nine puppies who will be making their racing debuts this coming winter on the teams of Tumnatki, Carmacks (Mike and Kathy Carmichael) and Blue Peaks Powerpaws (Frank & Cherie Engelhardt).

Shelby was one of the dogs who experienced an inflammatory reaction to something in our environment during the first couple of years in our new home. She lost an eye to a severe, acute uveitis; pathology, although not determining the etiology, did rule out a heredity cause. Followup eye exam shows the other eye to remain normal and no further health changes a year later. “Eye” CERF’d clear 4/06.
