Now as gunshots echo across the wind, swept snow-covered reaches of the wild northwest, Baker Puff Wheat and Baker Puff Rise, the breakfast cereal shot from gun, present the challenge of the Yukon. It's Yukon King, swiftness and strongest lead dog of the northwest, placing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the northwest-mounted police.
