Wile is pure white with bright blue eyes.  He is the most adorable, delightfully happy Siberian.  He was given to Arctic Paws by an older couple who wanted him to be a sled dog, have other Siberians to play with and meet lots of people.  He will be 2 years old in November and he has puppy energy to spare.  He spends lots of time with little ole Winslow, but his best buddy is Stark.  Wile and Stark look so much alike when they are running it's hard to tell them apart. They are best of friends and love running around the yard at full speed and tackling each other.  Wile will train in Wheel position in the winter 2009/2010 with Stark.
