Pedigree of: Tonto of Calivali

(PURE SEPPALA dogs in this pedigree are indicated by purple-coloured type and capital letters.)

"TONTO" was a racing leader I purchased from Don Hazlett at the end of the 1960s. This Tiger/Berta mating is a typical example of Roland Bowles' breeding. It contains a modest Seppala component through SEESU OF COLD RIVER and FOXSTAND'S PONTIAC. Otherwise it is very much a Seeley-derived pedigree. The white female DAMA OF MONADNOCK was half Igloo Pak (pure Seeley in this instance) with a mix of Monadnock, Dichoda, and WWL on the dam's side -- Dama is doubtless a part of this pedigree because her maternal great-grandsire was WHITE WATER LAKE KNIGHT, who occurs four more times in this pedigree. Knight was himself a mixed-lineage dog with Seeley breeding on both sides of his pedigree as part of his Monadnock/Gatineau ancestry. The Bow Lake and Little Alaska lineage behind Tonto's sire Tiger are similarly mixed, with IGLOO PAK CHUCKCHEE (pure Seeley), a Monadnock bitch and mixed Gatineau background. This broad eclectic mix of bloodlines is a typical feature of New England racing Siberian Husky pedigrees.
