Well, first off - Neither couple is official canon-wise. (and yes, although there were hints throughout WoC that could have easily led one to believe that Dusty/Kodi was canon, it was never revealed that indeed it is . . . especially since the director stated in Steet's interview that Dusty/Ralph is the canon pairing . . . althought that too was not fully developed . . . but I digress. I'm getting off-topic on a WQ thread . . .

)
Secondly - Aleu/Niju probably could never happen . . . I mean, there was so much static between them in the few scenes that they were together. Sure, we could use the phrase "Opposites Attract" to describe their possible relationship, but Aleu seems far too headstrong in my opinion for a mate, especially a wolf that is also quite rebellious and cruel but afraid of change. And yes, for some reason I support this pairing . . . only because I believe that some chance of fate would cause him to prove that he can change . . . and that he can help Aleu reach that greatness she is meant for . . . gah, I digress again.
Thirdly - Dusty/Kodi . . . the only reason people ship them together is because she's the only girl on the sled team and Kodi, being the son of Balto . . . well, who WOULDN'T want them to get together? It has to happen, right?
. . . Personally, I like Aleu/Niju better. It's not that I don't like Kodi/Dusty . . . I do . . . but I like a lot of pairings with Kodi a bit more. Also, I just can't see Aleu with anyone but Niju. (please don't hate.)
