Spirit in front of so-called slush bergs formed in the early winter when
the shore was frozen but with open water on the lake, waves created slush
that gradually built up to form the bergs sometimes as high as 30 feet.
Canadian Inuit Dogs I have
owned, raised and trained:
A photo essay, Part 4
by William J. ‘Qimmiliriji’ Carpenter
Having raised over a thousand Canadian Inuit Dogs and trained and ran several hundred of them in teams since 1974; and having had either a family pet dog when young or my own hunting dogs from 1956 to 1975, this indeed is a new and different phase of life without dogs. Enjoy!
WJC
Ed: This concludes Bill ‘Qimmiliriji’ Carpenter’s four-part photo history of the “William J. Carpenter
Eskimo Dog Research Foundation”, begun in 1974. The Fan Hitch is enormously grateful to Bill for
sharing his historical images!

for use of these photographs should be sent to The Fan Hitch for forwarding on to Bill.
