Name: Brian (by first owners) Canton (by Rick and Lacy)
Relation to Balto: CAT14'S BALTO FAMILY TREE (Jenna's brother)
Birth: 1922 in
Parents: Boomer (??? x ???) x Marie (??? x ???)
Breed: 100% Siberian Husky
Personality: Like his father, he's pretty quiet but it's not like he never talks. He'd just rather listen then to talk. He is very polite and has very good manners; he's especially kind to girls and treats them with the utmost respect but he's not afraid to show them how strong he is or how well he knows how to flirt (but he really can't cuz he's pretty bad at flirting). He tries hard to please his owners but he tends to be pretty ADD and has a hard time paying attention to something for a long time. He can be unpleasant though, especially when he comes face to face to someone who seems less then civilized. He's very territorial and above all, he hates any kind of stray, no matter how nice they seem, but he never revolts to dirty tactics or cheating of any kind although he can be competitive when it comes to racing or pulling. But his competitiveness does NOT make him aggressive. It may look it, but he is just very determined.
Siblings: Jenna, August, Benjamin and Markus
Mate: Cocoa
Pups: (in birth order) Dallas, Scooter, Roxy, Azura
Loves: Listening, weight pulling, pleasing his owners, being respected, being clean, seeming powerful, his owners: Rick and Lacy, his biological family (even though he didn't know them long).
Hates: Having his space invaded by other male dogs (unless he knows them), strays, getting dirty enough that he has to take a bath, sharing (for the most part). He also has some issues with his son Dallas, who is a stray and is VERY uncivilized.
Talents: Strength, loyalty, dog sledding, weight pulling.
History: After being born to Boomer and Marie, he was kept on the breeding farm for a few years, but was never bred. Eventually, Boomer and Marie's owner decided that they had too many dogs and sold Brian to a middle-aged family in Platinum, Alaska. His new owners (who had originally come from Texas) had hoped to start their own breeding program with champion sled dogs and re-named Brian Canton. For a short amount of time, Canton was the lead dog but he didn't do well because he was pretty bad at listening to his musher's commands. So he became a wheel dog because of his strength but really shows his talent when he becomes a weight pulling dog (competitions where a dog is judged on th amount of weight it can pull). He races with his team (Nuke, Loki, Franny, Ceatelle, Radar) until he retires when he's 5.
But even after Canton had proved himself, there weren't many people who were begging to have their dog bred to Brian, especially because of the growing dog population in those parts of Alaska. Eventually, his owners decide to buy a dog for Canton to be bred to: Cocoa (named Cowgirl by her owners), a half wolf/ half husky(no relation to Balto or any wolves involved in any of the movies/ fanfics). Brian's owners think that the wolf blood would make a stronger sled dog. Canton doesn't like her though... he can't stand her.
He still has pups with her to make his owners happy. The female has pups and is very happy about it but very slowly, being ignored by her mate takes it's toll on her and she sinks into a depression. One night she snaps, takes off and Canton finally realizes he does care.
Modifications: *adopted from Catwhohas14tails* ...so no modifications will ever be made...
