Paul here - I think I just addressed that in another post recently.

I have one dog that I bought from JASON Mackey as a two year old, there are no other Mackey genes in my kennel.
That is a comlex question to answer because I have been breeding my own line for 12 years now, and originally they went back to the Buser and Osmar lines which originally go back to other lines such as G. Wright and Attla, and Swenson and Butcher. But all the dogs in my kennel have been bred and born here out of our own line as I consider it.

Personally I feel that 8 dogs can go as fast as 16 and any combination above that 8 can go equally as fast as their slowest dog. The thing about dog teams above 8 is you increase the power by every dog you add. YOur speed increases in hilly country by adding more dogs for power going up hill. At one point, several years ago I ran a team of 33 dogs in the Caribou Hills here on the Kenai Peninsula, this was out of control. Now I train with teams up to 24 and I can go as fast up hill as I can down hill.
