SPIFFY DOG
Product Tester

Spiffy Dog (now affectionatly known as Spiffy) is an Alaskan Husky and part of the Grizzle T racing team in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. He is the mascot of the Spiffy Dog company and, along with Mischief, Arapahoe and Fluffy, he helps test out the Spiffy Dog products that Xtra Dog sells. Spiffy likes nothing more than meeting people and teaching the young dogs about sledding. He is an avid racing dog and tells us that his life-long ambition is to compete in the world famous Iditarod race in Alaska, he is very upset he did not join his team mates this year in Alaska.
